Visit
Windy Valley Muskox at Nash Farms
A totally Alaskan experience

A once in a lifetime memory for Alaskans, out-of-state visitors and children of any age

A visit to Windy Valley Muskox at Nash Farms is one of the world’s unique opportunities: to see muskox, living much as they did thousands of years ago, surrounded by the beautiful Alaska wilderness.

The muskox is one of the earth’s last remaining prehistoric animals, alive at the time of the mammoth in the Pleistocene period.  The chance to see a living muskox is rare as the ancient animal exists today in only a few regions of the world, of which one is Alaska.

In a visit to Windy Valley Muskox, you’ll learn about the muskox:  its history, how it lives and is cared for, and about the qiviut, produced from the soft undercoat of the muskox.  It is the warmest and most luxurious fiber in the world, valued for clothing by Arctic peoples for thousands of years.  In the late spring and early summer, you’ll have unforgettable opportunity to see and photograph baby muskoxen, one of the most adorable animal babies. Windy Valley Muskox is the largest privately-owned herd in the United States and among the largest in the world.

In addition to seeing the muskox, you will have the extraordinary experience of observing and learning about Nash Farm, a real Alaskan farm in the Matanuska Susitna Valley, one of the most spectacular natural settings anywhere in the world.

A visit to Windy Valley Muskox and Nash Farm is stimulating for Alaskans and especially ideal for visitors.  Plan now to experience the “real” Alaska from a unique perspective and to view the living ancient animals that few people will ever see. With an ever-changing schedule of activities that reflect the daily life of an Alaskan farm, there are many reasons to visit again and again.
