Derry Feed & Supply Co.

I was actually surprised after the first time I went to Derry Feed about the variety of things they carry. I’d always assumed it was more farm animal feed and knew they had chicks/​ducks for sale in the spring but wow — feeder fish, pet fish, all sorts of accessories for every pet known to man, along with wood stove supplies… the list goes on.
I have had the pleasure of speaking with Bud, who is one of the owners, on a number of occasions. You’d be hard-​pressed to find someone more interested in the community and not just selling you something, but listening to what you’re looking for and then directing you to what will work best. I find that to be lacking in most places these days, and it’s refreshing to find it here.

I shop there every week (sometimes more) for horse feed and pet supplies. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Whenever I have a question about a product, if they don’t know the answer, Bud calls the distributor and finds the answer for me. I have never had a bad experience there. GREAT bunch of people and the prices are comparable or lower than their nearest competitors. I highly recommend this store (and I am a very picky shopper).

I am now being called a liar for expressing what my opinion of this business is.
And a handful of excuses. You could say that you are sorry I had this experience and you’ll do your best to rectify the issues. I am not coming back in. Maybe you should take it as constructive criticism from a customer you HAD, and apply it to the customers you still have?
But word of mouth is just as powerful as Unilocal.My Father raises ducks and chickens, he has over 53 birds. He asked me if they still had ducks (again, I live on Manning St. across from here) I said «I don’t know, but I haven’t had good experiences there so I don’t go in». He said «maybe it’s because you didn’t buy anything».
I wish that was the case. I did buy stuff, I spent 50 bucks on cat toys food litter and scratching posts.
