Summary
Anchorage’s Alaska Hay & Feed Supply, a family-run farm operating for over two decades, faced sudden shutdown threats after city code enforcement deemed their hay and feed sales illegal — despite decades of uninterrupted operation. The loophole? The code allowed feed storage for animal boarding but didn’t explicitly permit retail sales. As the issue escalated, Assembly members stepped in, passing a unanimous ordinance to legalize these sales, recognizing their vital role in Alaska’s food security and livestock care. With shipping delays and harsh weather common, this local supply chain is critical — and now, thanks to the new law, it’s protected.
