Susitna Valley Naturals New Location

It’s no secret that a drive to the quaint village of Talkeetna is a wonderful way to spend the day.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly activity during your visit to Talkeetna… There’s a new shop in town!

Well, it’s not actually new, and technically not in town. The explanation is quite simple.

After a 6-month hiatus, (previously located across from the Talkeetna Post Office), Susitna Valley Naturals is open again, just down the road at Mile 10.

The new storefront is a refurbished log cabin at 27267 S Talkeetna Spur Road.

There’s definitely Gnome Place like Talkeetna, but sometimes it’s nice to get out of the hustle and bustle and take a pause.

Treasures await just a few minutes out of the village, tucked inside a very Talkeetna-esque cabin- shop.

Peruse layers of Alaskana, vintage finds, original art pieces, necessary luxuries, up-cycled this and that, hand-crafted goodness and the stories behind it all.

Susitna Valley Naturals will be open year-round, with a rotating collection of fine goods and local favorites.

You are invited to peruse our thoughtfully curated collection of art celebrating Alaska, local makers, old books, quirky gadgets, botanical foods and creations.

A visit to SVN is a chance to slow down, and enjoy the simple things rural Alaska offers.

Look for future opportunities to meet the makers, sample hand-crafted foods, sip Alaskan teas and taste floral syrups, soothe aches with devil’s club products, share some stories and simply appreciate Talkeetna.
