About

Alaska Mill and Feed is a long-established agricultural, pet supply, and garden products company headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska. The business was originally founded in 1950 by Don Donatello, a chemical engineer and MIT graduate who started a small company producing cleaning chemicals and related products. Over time, the business evolved significantly as it expanded into feed production, fertilizer blending, and agricultural supply distribution. During the 1950s and 1960s, the company expanded its operations by constructing manufacturing facilities and a feed mill to support the growing demand for livestock feed and agricultural products in Alaska. The company officially adopted the name Alaska Mill & Feed in the mid-1960s and gradually broadened its offerings to include animal feed production, fertilizer products, and farm and garden supplies. By the late 1970s, Alaska Mill and Feed had added a fertilizer blending plant and a retail farm and garden store, further strengthening its presence in the regional agricultural market. Over the decades, the company expanded into wholesale distribution through its affiliated operation, Alaska Garden & Pet Supply, which distributes feed, pet products, and garden supplies to retailers across the state. Today, Alaska Mill and Feed operates as a manufacturing, retail, and wholesale distribution company focused on serving customers throughout Alaska. The company produces animal feed, wild bird seed, fertilizer products, and other agricultural supplies while also offering a wide selection of pet food, garden products, and outdoor supplies. Its distribution network supplies more than sixty retailers across the region, supporting local agriculture, pet care businesses, and gardening communities. The company became employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2016, reflecting a commitment to employee participation and long-term sustainability. This ownership structure helps maintain a strong culture of customer service, community engagement, and local economic support. With more than seven decades of experience, Alaska Mill and Feed continues to serve Alaskan customers with locally produced products, agricultural expertise, and a strong focus on quality and community relationships.
