The public is invited to stop by First Friday at the Anchorage Museum on Jan. 3 and learn more about the Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center.

The event is called What Why How We Eat: An Experiment Farm and is related to an exhibit and a series of public programs that the museum is hosting, called What Why How We Eat. The museum website says the exhibit and programs “look at how Alaskans connect with each other and the land through food.” 

Jodie Anderson, the director of the farm and Extension center, and staff will host a display about the 920-acre research and outreach farm and what it has to offer, and answer questions from 6-8 p.m. The museum’s food exhibit runs through Jan. 12 at the Rasmuson Center, at 625 C. St.
