I still stand by five stars after almost a year, even though there are more products in the store…read morethat are not Alaska made. Admittedly, it was a bittersweet feeling... Azure products are phenomenal, so I can't fault them for carrying them, especially since, from what I could tell, they were items like whole grains for milling at home and that's just not really an option to find locally sourced in Alaska. There appeared to be several other fruits & vegetables that were not from their farm, but I'm still a HUGE fan and will continue to not only shop there but also recommend them every chance I get!

They have a beautiful 12 yr old clematis right inside the door (not for sale but so pretty when it blooms) as well as a great selection of bedding plants, perennials, herbs, & veggies. They also do pre-order hanging baskets that are amazing - but I've heard they have a waiting list and pretty much someone has to "will you" their spot on the list - they're that popular. This year they have the citronella geraniums that are great for keeping the mosquitos away. Their prices are in line with all of the other nurseries and greenhouses around the Valley. And if you compare the price and quality with Fred's or Walmart, the local greenhouses have such better plants. They're not out too early in the elements, over sunned, or lacking water & care. The plants I've gotten here the last several years have been great.

My favorite was the tiny plants in the painted pots, tiny like the size of a quarter. Very cute! The staff was so friendly and the store was full of amazing plants.

At nearly $600 for two people, this farm dinner did not deliver a culinary or service experience…read morecommensurate with its premium price. There were genuine positives: the family and staff were warm, the musicians delightful, the tables beautifully styled, and the chef industrious and jovial. Nevertheless, the appetizers were sparse, the wine selection modest, and there was no table water or coffee service. No one asked whether we needed anything, and the meal was essentially buffet-style and self-service. As a Louisiana-raised woman who knows her way around fried chicken, I found the principal offering decidedly underwhelming. The event had not sold out when my fiancé and I were contacted at the last minute. We accepted and paid full price. Her subsequent correspondence nevertheless conveyed the peculiar impression that our attendance had somehow been a favor extended to us. We were paying customers--not complimentary guests--and I found that attitude difficult to comprehend. Even so, the disappointing dinner alone would not have prompted this review. Afterward, having already contributed many hours of professional photography that the farm used in its marketing, I proposed an entirely philanthropic collaboration. I offered, without compensation, my photography, editing, curating, exhibition design, installation, time, resources, and labor to create temporary displays of large-format floral art within the farm's existing dinner-event space. The artwork could be sold or auctioned, with proceeds above production costs benefiting charitable causes that we would select together in advance. I expected either interest or a gracious "No, thank you." Instead, the owner responded, "how presumptuous of you," and said the proposal added to her "already overflowing plate"--despite my explicit offer to undertake the work myself. She was unquestionably entitled to decline. What disheartened me was the unnecessarily castigating and demeaning manner in which a sincere offer of generosity was received. Her response struck me as profoundly ungracious, disproportionate to the facts of my original email, and dismissive of the considerable time, professional effort, and resources I had offered in good faith. Philanthropy creates no obligation, but an offer of service should not invite rebuke. I left disappointed by the dinner. I was considerably more disheartened by the treatment I received afterward as a former full-paying customer. Unless and until there is a genuine understanding about respectful treatment, I will neither do business with nor otherwise support this farm.

My wife and I solicited quotes from 3 other landscaping companies before settling on Faltz…read moreLandscaping. The 3 others met us at our home and listened to our ideas and took measurements of the areas to be landscaped. Within a week we received quotes from two of the other companies that just parroted back our ideas without any design drawings or detail. The third company jerked us around for 3 additional weeks before telling us they were too busy and gave us a baseless and wildly expensive "estimate" for next year. In contrast, Josie Blumenthal from Faltz came to our house twice to sketch the area, take dimensions and develop our design ideas. On the 2nd trip she took aerial photos with a drone and prepared a concept design based upon our ideas. At our third meeting, Ben Brown, Faltz Landscape Architect, who was mentoring Josie, joined the Team and proposed some new design concepts that we liked a lot. We signed a contract and within a week the Faltz crew was on site. The 3-man crew were experienced, polite and professional. Most of the time while the work was in progress, either Josie, Ben or both were on site, assuring the work was in conformance with the plan. At the end of every workday, the crew cleaned our yard and driveway. Three days later the work was complete. The final product far exceeded our expectations, and we are very happy with the entire Faltz Team, especially Ben and Josie. We felt that Faltz provided a superior product and good value. We'd highly recommend Faltz for your landscape needs.
