Alaska is an incredible state overflowing with tasty food, refreshing drinks, unique shopping, excellent services and great health care options. This makes it difficult to ensure you enjoy the best of everything that is offered. Who are the best? We asked. You answered. Votes came in from all over Alaska, with readers submitting their favorites in four categories: food and drink, shopping, services and health care. We’ve tallied the votes and presented platinum, gold and silver awards in 59 categories. Some recurring favorites are still on top, and we had the privilege of recognizing some new businesses that have impressed Alaska’s consumers. You’ll want to keep this section on hand for reference throughout the year. Here are your choices for Best of Alaska 2015. Jamie Gonzales, Special Sections Editor

GREAT HARVEST BREAD CO. Great Harvest Bread Co. has been Alaska’s whole grain headquarters since 1994. Freshly milled whole grain flour is the key to healthy and great-tasting bread, so we mill our wheat from the kernel every day at the bakery to bring you the freshest flour possible. Then we bake our breads from scratch, using only the finest ingredients, and knead each loaf by hand. It takes more time and care to make bread this way, but we think the effort is worth it. At Great Harvest, quality and service—to our customers and community—come first. So stop by anytime for a free slice from our breadboard, and taste the difference. Or try one of our delicious sandwiches—on fresh bread still warm from the oven. Open Monday–Saturday, 7 a.m.–6 p.m.; sandwiches available 10 a.m.–3 p.m. daily. 570 E.

BELL’S NURSERY & GIFTS Bell’s Nursery is a family run business that started in 1976. Over the years the nursery expanded to include a gift shop and coffee bar. Since the beginning, Bell’s has been growing annuals in the greenhouse. Some of our annuals are made into outdoor hanging baskets that can be custom ordered in the fall for pickup in the spring. At Bell’s Nursery one can drink a latte, admire the color from the perennials, annuals, or poinsettias, smell the scent of Christmas trees, gaze at the sparkling Swarovski figurines, and test a hand lotion in just one store. 13700 Specking Rd. and 7653 Cranberry Rd. | www.bellsnurseryalaska.com
