Musk Ox Farm

 

All Tours Require a Reservation  www.muskoxfarm.org

 

The non-profit Musk Ox Farm is dedicated to the gentle husbandry of the musk ox, an Ice Age mammal that once roamed the earth alongside saber-tooth tigers and woolly mammoths. From the Inupiaq language, “Oomingmak,” means “The Bearded One.” This once-endangered animal produces an annual harvest of qiviut (kiv'-ee-yoot), the finest wool in the world.

​

Visitors are welcome to the farm for a close-up experience of these magnificent Paleolithic ruminants with guided tours, engaging exhibits, and our gift shop featuring some of the world's only gently hand-combed qiviut fiber, qiviut yarn, and qiviut garments.  

 

The farm also hosts community fundraising events and educational programming throughout the year. Visit the picturesque farm surrounded by the majestic Chugach and Talkeetna mountains.
