Only one of there stores is out of state due to being asked to place it there. Not only that but the pricing is great compared to competitors, a lot of the products in store are michigan based companies such as the Armada Grains they carry, and I LOVE the service! Not only that but they match bigger stores pricing such as tractor supply who has thousands of stores NATIONWIDE and with as bad as the economy is every penny is help! As a young person with livestock and horses and feed costs rising ridiculously in the past year I love getting the best pricing on great quality feeds, supplements, mineral blocks ect. Say what you will but I will always shop for the lower price with great service included! The staff is always friendly and helpful to me with whatever I ask, not so much in other stores whether because I am younger or not I work for all I have and hard for it and am not happy or willing to return to a place not willing to take me seriously in my animals well being and I can promise Family Farm and Home has been the best place to care about all my animals! I think the “local” buisness should take notes from the professionalism I have seen in this store. It’s not about not caring about local companies it’s about being treated right, priced fair, and knowledge for needs.

I personally know that when I had to drive out of my way to go to tractor supply, mt pleasant, midland, saginaw ect I would save my shoping for everything that day in that town, so I personally would say now that there is one closer ( family farm and home) I would do my shopping locally. And you mean to tell me that all the other business in the Clare area are local .. hmm may want to re think that one as McDonald’s, toco bell, KFC ace hardware, johnsons elevator ect… At least family farm and home is a Michigan based company bringing jobs to Michigan so you may want rethink your article.. because it seems to me your telling people to shop and support other cities. I am yet to find what I need I’m any other store than what family farm and home carries..
Sincerely very unhappy reader
