It all started with a road trip in an old Chevrolet pickup truck and a summer spent cleaning salmon on the Kenai Peninsula - getting back to Alaska became a life-long obsession. After three decades, we were able to purchase 30 acres of off-grid property, and Saint Olga Homestead was born.  

With one foot in Texas and the other in Alaska, each purchase helps us fund the next steps to develop our homestead, which will eventually include several cabins, providing visitors with the perfect off-grid experience.

We handcraft each ulu blade with steel from vintage handsaws, the handle from high-quality antler sheds or hardwood, and join the two with polished copper pins. The result is an extremely versatile tool that ages beautifully with each use in the kitchen, fileting fish dockside, or dressing a hunt in the field. 

You will appreciate these historically-styled ulus for a lifetime - these are not the typical mass-produced tourist items. They are destined to become cherished family heirlooms, just as ulus have been passed from one generation to the next in the Great North for thousands of years.

We offer a variety of seasonal homemade goods and products. From freshly baked breads and handmade noodles to preserves and pickled items, the Saint Olga Homestead kitchen never disappoints. 

In the future, we will offer flavorful teas to enjoy indoors on a lazy morning or on the porch as the cool air moves in and handmade items for use in the kitchen, such as printed hand towels and hand-carved wooden spoons.
