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), a dairy barn, a well house, a greenhouse, and a chicken house.^[2] Only the original farmhouse, silo, and milking parlor are still standing today. The Alaska State Fair purchased the property in 2002^[3] and is contemplating the establishment of a demonstration farm there.
