Former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens died last week in a plane crash near Dillingham and Alaskans started this week with a series of memorials to the late politician. On Tuesday, there was a closed-casket viewing at the All Saints’ Church in downtown Anchorage. The official funeral will be on Wednesday.

June in Alaska is a tough time for the Eat Local crowd. Long, sunny days and yet we’re not going to see produce at the markets for another two or three weeks.

Root vegetables — potatoes, carrots, beets — are still available, but supplies are running low and they’re just not the same after being storage all winter. I miss fresh carrots in particular, which made it pretty tough to edit together this video of the Vanderweele Farm carrot harvest from last September.
