Meet the
Andersons

It all started in the 1920's on a small family farm when Clarence Anderson launched a dairy and horse business called Sunny Brook Farm. Located in Ellensburg, Washington, Clarence began growing hay to feed his own horses, which in turn led to selling hay to locals for their own horses.

In 1956, Clarence and his sons were selling Timothy and alfalfa hay in Washington and Canada as C.E. Anderson and Sons Hay Company, when the business started selling hay for race horses at Santa Anita, Hollywood Park and Del Mar racetracks in California.

By the end of the 1950's, the Anderson operation was providing hay throughout the Pacific Northwest, in southern California, Arizona and Canada.

Today, Anderson Hay & Grain is one of the largest hay exporters in the United States. Led by Mark Anderson (the third generation), it's a global corporation that maintains a focus on relationships and family values - from their interactions with employees, customers, and the local community in Ellensburg.

Now, Michael, Molly, and Matthew Anderson (the fourth generation) work in the family business to carry on the Anderson legacy.

In 2021, the vision grew once again. The Anderson family imagined that the same hay that built Anderson Hay & Grain could be harvested, packed and delivered right to the doorsteps of small pets. That's how Andy by Anderson Hay was born. We hope you and your pets love it!
