Feed. Yep -- Feed for horses, birds, chickens, and "killing feed" for those pesky pests we all want fewer of ... but not feed for dogs or cats (who have their own store across the road). Mix that up with garden supplies and some general farm and ranch supplies, you have a well-rounded store for country life or a laid-back city life. This is a country store at heart, though, I think. While they have things you'll find at any lawn and garden center, it's the ranch and farm things, with a focus on horses and chickens it appears, that take Pittsboro Feed a different and interesting direction for city-folk.
It's a fun store to explore, actually. There's ordinary things, like bird seed and feeders and block salt, and a few not so ordinary, like baby chicks (at certain times of year) and heaters for outside waterers. Day-to-day items stay stocked, but it's the seasonal items that make this a store to visit at every time of year. It's a laid back store, with everything needed for lawn, garden, farm or ranch.
