Love a small business farm store. Hot chicks for $4 a piece and lots of great stuff for your garden/ farm needs.

All things animal related. They have been around forever! I moved to NH in 91 and discovered them. They have great bird seed blends for whatever's in your back yard. Have chickens, ducks, dogs, horses? They have stuff to feed them, entertain them, if sick, cure them. Want to go raise your own chickens or ducks, see them. They now have various types of live chicks/ ducklings and can advise how to best raise them.
I'll be honest, I wish I had more land and lived in a non residential area and I would try raising chickens. Did a stint with 7 chickens in MA back in the, early 80's. Best eggs ever! Nice to step away from the big box stores

We have been going to Dodge Grain for over 30 years! A great family run business. Very knowledgeable on many topics. Kelly has been helping us with our horses nutritional questions for years and she's always spot on. We are grateful to have them as our grain and supplies dealer.
