What a miraculous Aurora show we got to see last night right here at Alaska Haven. Wrapped up in blankets, we enjoyed sharing this beautiful display and evening with our guest.

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…
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!

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.
