You'll walk this beautiful creature through this regenerative, Alaskan homestead and perhaps get inspired to be more self-sufficient and resilient yourself. And finally, you'll be able to taste the essences of the boreal forest in our gourmet snacks you'll be served that have been locally foraged in Alaska, mostly from our very own homestead. Come witness the beauty, biology, abundance, and ecology at The Reindeer Grove!

      great experience and great value!
      This was an outstanding experience to see reindeer up close and a chance to feed them. The host was friendly and knowledgeable. Great for kids.

      What an amazing experience.
      We just did this tour. I will say the host was amazing, very informative tour. The best part was while walking around the grounds and learning about Alaksa foliage and wilderness you were accompanied by a reindeer. I would highly reccomend this tour for anyone visiting the area.

      Reindeer Meet and Feed is great for a family
      The Reindeer Meet and Feed was unique, in our experience. First, we were up close and personal with the reindeer for a good amount of time. Second, we got to see the reindeer in their natural forest environment. A big highlight was feeding the mama reindeer and her sweet three-week old baby! Graham was a welcoming and knowledgeable host and guide. I’d particularly recommended the Meet and Feed for travelers with a limited timeframe, and for families with young children.

    Graham did a great job with all the forest has to offer. We had an amazing time with Pheobe, the reindeer! She was awesome! She let us pet her and my son got to lead her through some of our walk. The dried pineapple we had afterwards was way better than what's in stores! Great job all around!

    I had an awesome time with Graham and the reindeer! Relaxing walk through the forest learning about plants to make teas with, berries to eat and if the reindeer don’t eat the mushrooms neither will I!! Lol. Fantastic nibbles at the end too!

    Welcomed by the dogs and Graham to his lovely woodland home in Talkeetna. Enjoyed interacting with the animals and conversing with Graham about life in Alaska. We watched the video and had some refreshment after our time outside. A very pleasant morning!

    Great discussion with the owner around living off the grid and natural and useful plants found on his property. The frescos on the ceiling of the cabin were quite good and certainly unexpected. Of course the reindeer were the stars of the tour for us, and the 7 week old reindeer, Zephyr, stole our hearts!

    This was incredible! Not only did we get to see reindeer, touch them and walk with them. We also had a very special tea time in a historic log building.
    And during all of it, we learned so much; about reindeer, homesteading, local flora…
