Farmers Market - provide low-cost space for local farmers, particularly beginning and young farmers, and local food producers to sell directly to consumers at a weekly market. The market is community focused and aimed at fostering farmer to consumer relationships, and providing children's activities. The market also allows our farmers to participate in various food access programs, such as the LFPA, SNAP and SNAP match (which we do all of the overhead, paperwork, and processing for), and WIC & Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. We are the only market for many miles where shoppers can use their SNAP benefits or Farmers Market Nutrition Program Coupons. It is difficult to measure exact number of persons benefited - while we count shoppers at each market, different shoppers come each week and utilize different benefits. Population of the surrounding communities that have access to the market is around 17,000. 49957 47903 SNAP Match - using state funds, as a market, we are able to match SNAP recipients dollars spent by up to $40 for each recipient at each market. This program allows us to greatly impact food access and has an extremely positive economic impact on our farmers. The number of persons benefited from this program is also difficult to determine because number of household members per SNAP card run is unknown. Between SNAP customers served and farmers who are now able to accept SNAP and SNAP match dollars, we estimate this program impacted around 200 individuals. However, thousands could access this program. 4796 4576 Local Foods Purchasing Assistance Program (LFPA) - we are a "pass through" organization that allowed this program to function. Essentially, the market purchased fresh local produce, meat, seafood, and eggs from farmers at the end of market and donated that food to local anti-hunger agencies. This program greatly reduces, or eliminates food waste, feeds our community, and provides security to our farmers. The number of persons benefited from this program is around 3,000, according to anti-hunger agency data and our vendor data. 20218 20218 Brandi Jo Nyberg Executive Director 20.00 29640 0 0 Zoe Fuller Board President 3.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false AK Brandi Jo Nyberg & Arctic Assets 1405 N Kuhn Dr Palmer AK 99645 9079823928 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 0 0 0 84126 84126 10205 10205 0 0 0 0 0 0 94331 94331 0 0 0 94331 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 94348 94348 X 0.99980 0.00000 0.00020 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, Line 16 Staff Development - $65, Market supplies - $283, SNAP & LFPA Reimbursement programs - $22,230, Office Expenses - $2,136, Fundraising - $85, Advertising & Marketing - $4,522, Insurance - $1,700, Bank and Merchant Service Fees - $205, Licenses & Fees - $165, Staff travel and reimbursable expenses - $765 Part II, Line 24 Accounts Receivable, $1,494, pre-paid services $2,515 Part II, Line 26 Payroll liabilities - $502 We filed for and received an extension until November 15, 2025.

Although filing company emailed about this error, the emails were received as SPAM and not seen. The error was immediately noticed upon logging in and beginning taxes for the 2025 year (noticed February 24, 2026). This statement and taxes were resubmitted immediately upon noticing. The organization has not neglectful or careless, but an unfortunate miscommunication/mistake was made.
