| - I like the Farm & Fleet chain, and this is as good a location as any I've been too. If you don't know F&F they have a nice mix of practical clothing, basic housewares, lawn and garden stuff, bikes & wagons, farm goods, automotive, hardware, lawn mowers and tractors, ATVs, camping supplies, paint, sheds, brooms, mops & biuckets, cake pans, blenders and other small appliances, lodge cast iron cookware (!) and seasonal items. (not seasonal junk you don't need ot frippery in seasonal colors, good stuff - a big toy department around the holidays, extra camping or hunting stuff in season, canning supplies in fall, gardening supplies in spring, out-door toys in summer.)
Good price and selection of sizes on Carhardt overalls, boots, etc. in Mens, Women's & Children's sizes, They have some farm type stuff in case you're raising chickens or rabbits, horses, dog houses, bird feeding supplies.
I picked up a machete, some holiday lights and extension cords, a laundry basket, a small fire-pit, an ax, some canning supplies, a pretty stained glass lamp, some batteries, a cheap pair of winter boots, wool socks, a low-cost wheelbarrow, some sidewalk chalk, and a whiffle ball set, all of which performed as well or better as expected for the price. It's not uncommon to hear people laughing in the store that if the Farm & Fleet doesn't have it, you probably don't really need it, and I'd have to agree.
I've never bought anything here, taken it home, and found out it was a piece of junk, unlike pretty much every other big box store, plus the staff has always been 100% friendly, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I almost gave one star off for not having some of the more primitive type houseware stuff I like (they carry borax and white vinegar only sometimes) and no organics at all, but what the heck - now that Marshal Fields is closed the F&F is the only big box / department store on earth that I don't actually hate to walk into, sometimes it's even fun - when I get bored shopping for dull stuff I actually need (laundry baskets) I can have a little fun looking at cool stuff I don't need like ATVs, fishing lures, porch swings, grills, fancy coolers, pedal cars, tents, etc. etc. etc.
Did you see the one where Hank Hill says he likes buying his pants and hammers at the same place so he can see how they look together? It's funny because it's true. The F&F is what the Mega-Lo Mart *should* be.
