Hatcher Pass
After all these years of living in Alaska, we finally had the opportunity to explore Hatcher Pass. By far, this has been one of the most beautiful places we have seen in Alaska. What a blessing to be surrounded by God’s breathtaking and humbling creation.
The Historical Mine Hatcher Pass…
And off course, the fireweed has been beautiful in color…
Adventurous Day Trip
I had the joy and privilege of taking my mom on a quick adventure. Just a quick drive from Alaska Haven, and we found ourselves in the midst of this beautiful and untouched creation. We chased a moose, talked, laughed, made a camp fire, drove the atv, took a boat ride, picked blueberries and had a yummy dinner. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. But best of all, we are so blessed to be surrounded by family, friends, our wonderful guest and share this life with them:)
A Sweet Surprise
This morning started with tears of joy after receiving these beautiful flowers from one of our sweet guest. What a beautiful moment and blessing in the midst of life!
Trip to Olnes Pond
We had a wonderful time enjoying Alaska’s beautiful and peaceful nature last weekend. Olnes Pond is just a quick day trip away, yet offers many great activities from hiking and atv riding to fishing or just enjoying a good book.

Turkeys
Our turkeys are just a little over a week old now.
Birch Tapping
We finally started our birch tap season yesterday here at Alaska Haven. We enjoyed the beautiful sun and the long awaited start of spring. On the first day we already collected nearly 10 gallons of birch sap, which we will further process into Birch syrup. We will continue sharing the processing steps. We look forward to serving this Alaskan treat to our guest.
Every autumn birch trees collect and store nutrients in their roots to help with new tree growth the next spring. These nutrients are contained within the
sap that runs from the roots through the whole tree during the freeze/thaw cycle in spring. When the sap begins to flow, it can be collected for use. To collect the sap, a spout, called a spile, is inserted into a hole drilled into the tree. The spile directs the sap into a bucket. This sap can be drunk fresh as a spring tonic; used in place of water to make tea, coffee or other beverages; collected and made into carbonated drinks, beer or wine; or boiled down to make syrup.
