The Peanut Farm

I hear a lot of ads on the radio about "The Peanut Farm."  It took me a few ads to know what it was about...at first I was like "a peanut farm in Alaska?"  After the next ad I thought maybe it was a pub...beer and peanuts...but it was the Facebook status of others that lead me to understand that it is a large sports bar style restaurant/pub that sits alongside Campbell Creek, which runs through town.  I decided I had to go try it out when I saw my boss post that she was at the Peanut Farm enjoying some sunshine and watching Salmon swim by in Campbell Creek from her table on the patio.

Shibby and I had to eat, and the Peanut Farm is a neighbour to Alaska Wildberry Products where we had just been.  So it was off to the Peanut Farm for lunch!

The Peanut Farm immediately made it on to my favorites list.  It has a large patio to soak up some of the sunshine on those long Alaska summer days.  The menu and food were good, but it is really the comfortable patio view that made my lunch.  The tables border the creek -- and the bridge is a good viewing deck for salmon watching.

On this day we watched for salmon, but what we actually saw go by were geese.  The current is actually pretty fast, and they shot by the first time before I even had my camera ready.  But there were either several gaggle of geese upstream, or they hop out just past the restaurant and waddle back upstream to take the ride again, because 10 minutes later, they went by again.  This time I was ready!

I can't say I caught them smiling, but I am pretty sure they were having fun.  Like everyone on the patio.  The Peanut Farm, on airport road, is a great place to stop in for summer lunch, or a pint to watch the fish and fauna go by.
