There are many important issues facing our state legislature right now. But there is one bill - the Food Freedom Act - that will do a lot of good to increase the amount of local food produced and consumed in Alaska and strengthen our local economies by supporting small businesses.

This simple and important bill will strengthen our local food systems and grow our local economies by expanding the places small scale farmers and producers can sell locally-made foods like jams and pickles, and by increasing the amount of Alaska Grown produce that the state purchases.

Take a minute today to make sure our legislators don’t ignore this simple and important bill this session.
