The Raymond Rebarchek Colony Farm is a historic farm property on Rebarchek Avenue in Palmer, Alaska. It consists of a 40-acre (16 ha) tract of land granted to Raymond Rebarchek in a 1935 land lottery organized by the Matanuska Valley Colony, a Depression-era agricultural colony project.[2] The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] At that time the farm complex included ten buildings, including Rebarcheck's original log house, the first built in the colony, along with a dairy barn, wellhouse, greenhouse, chicken house.[2] The property was purchased by the Alaska State Fair in 2002,[3] which is contemplating the establishment of a demonstration farm there.
