Our story: a legacy of service

Since acquiring the business in 2003, Candler Feed and Seed has transformed from a local hardware store into the go-to destination for quality feeds, pet foods, garden essentials, and homesteading supplies in Candler, North Carolina. We are proud to be the last remaining feed store from an original three, consistently winning "Best of WNC" in the feed and farm supply category for four years running. Join us as we continue to grow and serve our beloved community.

From hardware to homestead hub

When we took over in 2003, Candler Feed and Seed began its evolution from a traditional hardware store that happened to carry feed into a specialized haven for homesteaders, pet owners, and gardeners. Despite the arrival of big-box retailers, we've thrived by focusing on essential, high-quality supplies. We proudly offer top-tier Kalmbach Feeds, Victor Premium Pet Foods, a vast selection of bird seed, and all your garden needs, from seeds and vegetable plants to soils and fertilizers. We are dedicated to equipping our community for success in livestock, pets, lawn, and garden care.

Service that sets us apart

At Candler Feed and Seed, our service isn't just good – it's our best product! We go above and beyond by not only stocking the highest quality items but also carrying them out to your vehicle. Our team offers expert advice on animal nutrition, drawing from years of personal farming and livestock experience. We're here to answer your questions and connect you with trusted contacts and referrals for nearly any community need. This unwavering commitment to our customers is why we've consistently been voted "Best in WNC Feed and Farm Supply" for the past four years!

More than a store: a community partner

We believe in being an active and compassionate member of the community we serve. Our dedicated team is a familiar and friendly sight to our loyal customers, and together, we are passionate about giving back. From providing relief work after Hurricane Helene to our annual Angel Tree program for Foster Care children, our annual back-to-school supply drive and our weekend food bag initiative for local elementary school students displaced by the hurricane, our commitment runs deep. We are grateful for the support of our community, and we strive to reciprocate that support in every way we can.
