Who We Are

Harold and Bobbie Jackson

 

Hello, our names are Bobbie and Harold Jackson. Bobbie was born in Anchorage Alaska and moved to the Soldotna Family Homestead in 1959, where Jackson Gardens and the Peaceful Acres Cabins are located. Harold Was Born In Arizona And Moved To Alaska In 1961. 

Our unique garden property is nestled on a 10-acre organic U-Pick garden located 7 miles south of Soldotna, offering a true farm-to-table experience with fresh berries, vegetables, and flowers. We started selling our garden products to the public in 1979 and expanded to vegetables in 2019. 

We have truly cherished hosting our annual free fall carnival each September, filled with hayrides, sweet treats, fun games, and wonderful memories. While we no longer hold this event, we are so grateful for the years of laughter, joy, and community it brought. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a special tradition!  Photos and a video from our final 2024 carnival are posted. 

We also own and operate the Peaceful Acres Cabins which we first offered on AirBNB, VRBO, and Booking.com in 2024. We have three wonderful cabins and one roomy triplex, of which cabin six was built in 2023. Recently we expanded to being open all year round for short or long term rentals. We are still expanding Peaceful Acres and would be honored if you considered a stay and took advantage of the U-Pick specials that are included. 

We are both true Alaskans and we would love to share our 10 acre U-Pick gardens with you!  Please consider visiting and experiencing the joy of a natural organic garden!
