Access to The Musk Ox Farm The Musk Ox Farm is a private non-profit organization dedicated to the development and domestication of the musk ox. The goal of the Musk Ox Project, begun in 1954, is to introduce a gentle, non-intrusive form of agriculture to the Arctic. These animals form the basis of an Alaskan cottage industry for natives living in remote coastal villages. The Musk Ox Farm is an ideal place to observe and photograph these animals at close range. Tours are available where you will learn about the history of the musk ox, a prehistoric remnant of the last great Ice Age, and how it has been domesticated on the farm. The Musk Ox Project promotes the use of the fine under-wool of the musk ox as the basis of an Arctic native textile industry.
