Friendly service, knowledgeable staff, great selection, and reasonable prices. There are plenty of places that you can get feed products, but why wouldn't you want to reward a small local business that is consistently providing outstanding service.

I went there today to use the dog washing station, and the area was a complete disaster as you can…read moretell from my pictures the floors were soaked, not just wet, literally soaked dog hair in clumps all over the place. The grooming station was filled with dog hair, I had to clean the dog hair out of the actual Fan great for the dryer, and there was standing water in the tub that I literally had to clean the trap out I don't know if it was a husky in there before I walked in, but the entire dog washing room was a disaster. I luckily brought two extra towels that I laid on the floor Just to walk on. I've never seen such a disastrous looking room in my life, and I have been going there for quite a while.

This feed store is incredibly unique in the little but busy town of Merton. I get my bird seed…read morehere (#25 bag of premium seed mix) for $18. While I am inside the tiny "store" I am greeted by live chicks, and feed for a wide spectrum of animals: dogs, cats, horse, chickens, pigs, birds, rabbit and small animals. Also bedding and hay and then add in gifts and accessories. All in a very small shop. Whether you are a small or large hobby farm, check out their website and it will give you lots of info about all they offer. And the pricing is really good. Drive up, pay and they load your car. The steps inside are small and old, no real accessibility, but everyone who works here is helpful. I have barely scratched the surface of what Merton Feed does. It is so great to have an old-fashioned no-nonsense feed store to shop instead of the big box places. It is absolutely worth the drive.

Prices are comparable to what I've found elsewhere, but HEFP gives me two things I can't find anywhere else and that's the aforementioned selection and the warm welcome from the store cat... similar to your typical bodega cat but friendlier. The owner (or at least the person I believe to be to be the owner) is sweet is a gem and can point you in the right direction if you're looking for recommendations.
