Offbeet Farm

Offbeet Farm Offbeet Farm grows and sells winter-storage crops, offering vegetables to Fairbanks all winter long. This storage facility is the cornerstone of our farm!

Where to find our veggies...
Offbeet Farm sells veggies primarily during the winter, roughly October through May. We offer a winter CSA that runs roughly November through March, and signups usually open in mid-to-late August. If you're interested or want more information, please email us at [email protected]! You will also find a selection of our veggies for sale at The Roaming Root Cellar.

We also partner with Bender Mountain Farm, selling through the online store located at https://www.bendermountainfarm.com. What we grow....
At Offbeet Farm, we try to grow the widest selection of vegetables that can store through the winter:
- Beets - Carrots
- Cabbages - Garlic - Kale
- Kohlrabi - Leeks - Onions - Parsnips
- Radishes - Rutabagas - Turnips
- Winter Squash & Pumpkins

How we store our produce....
We built a modern root cellar during the summer of 2021 capable of storing roughly 35,000 lb. of vegetables through the winter, with additional space for washing and packing produce. Where we are.....
Offbeet Farm is located in the Cripple Creek Neighborhood on the west side of Fairbanks (beyond Chena Ridge). We cleared roughly 1.3 acres in fall 2020 and put about 1/4 acre into production in 2021. Now, we have 1 acre producing winter vegetables for Fairbanks! Who we are....
Samuel Knapp is the primary farmer at Offbeet Farm with help from Danielle Knapp, two cats, and several dozen rare-breed chickens. Samuel has been farming vegetables commercially for 10 years, including working as a farm hand in northern Sweden and Fairbanks. Samuel ran a vegetable farm in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, called Root Cellar Farm, for 3 years before moving to Fairbanks in 2020. What's with the name? The name "Offbeet" fits our farm in numerous ways. First, we sell storage crops (including beets) during the offseason (winter), opposite of most small farms in Alaska. Second, we're located near the musically named streets of the Cripple Creek neighborhood: Bluegrass, Fiddle, Dulcimer, Sonata, Oboe, Tempo, just to name a few. "Offbeet" fits with that musical theme as a reminder of the location. Last, the name represents something of the spirit of folks living in Fairbanks and interior Alaska. Most of us are a little kooky in one way or another, moving to the (off)beat of a different drum.

Our living mulch pathways in action! So many good things here… free organic matter, less soil erosion, w**d control, moisture retention. Downsides? Got to mow it, but who doesn’t love the smell of fresh cut grass?
