Contribute Feedback What Tedrico Latham likes about Frontier Trading Post:
It was great to find this option in such a small town in Alaska. Although the store is small (not surprising in a town of approximately 2,500 inhabitants), and not exclusively vegetarian/vegan, it had a nice selection of vegan and/or organic options, including a large variety of legumes and grains, canned items, household items, frozen items, vegan treats like cocomels, chocolate bars, vegan marshmellows, etc. Also,...

What User doesn't like about Frontier Trading Post:
No vegan milk or yoghurt. Only vegan food, which normally isn't vegan, was a $9 burger. However, lots of choice for people looking for bio or gluten-free food. I have only checked the food, they also have a lot of other items, which might be vegan aswell. View all feedback.
Good coffee, friendly service, wide selection of items, gluten free and dairy free options, all the oils and spices you can think of are here!
This place is like a mini-Whole Foods mixed with some touristy stuff mixed in. Mind you, this is touristy stuff that is actually thoughtful and that locals would want to buy! The 5-stars is mainly for being open year-round. Seward is a ghost town in the winter. It feels like 80% of business are closed, making it challenging and frustrating for Alaska residents to visit in the off-season. The main/only negative is that the prices are high, really high. Also, the anti-science rhetoric around GMO foods is a huge turnoff. We need more science in our food supply chain, not less. Fear mongering and food shaming (see also: clean eating by people of great privilege is not helpful to improving the outcomes of those that are less fortunate. GMO fresh veggies are about 1000X as healthy as non-GMO, organic, GF cookies. Not everyone can afford massively expensive organic/non-GMO/GF/etc products. And eating those is not necessary for good health for the vast majority of people.
A lot of great and unique items here. I bought souvenirs, scented hand lotion. They had a nice juice bar too so I got some tea to go with me on my walk.
Great natural grocery and wellness shop. Everything is pretty much full sized here so it's more for local grocery shopping. So much healthy goodness! A mini Whole Foods: pantry, frozen, beauty and even a cafe/smoothie shop in the back! We stopped in to do some browsing, ended up with some healing hand lotion, sulfate free dried organic cranberries and some cute Darn Tough socks for gifts.
If I lived in Seward, I would definitely be a regular at this store; it reminds me of the health food stores I shopped at in the early late 80's/early 90's before health food chains were common across the country. They have a very nice assortment of food items (including veggie/vegan/gluten , spices, vitamins, beauty items, candles and some questionable new-age items (a few that irked me, but I digress... , and a coffee/smoothie bar. In general I have to give a lot of credit to Frontier Trading Post- they've been in Seward a long time and continue to be successful in a very small town. They know their market.
