Employees at Miller's Farm Supply, a locally owned farm and hardware store in Zionville, confirmed this week that they now carry Southern States feeds and can order other products from the cooperative, which closed its Boone store last week.
The Boone and Lenoir stores were among at least 17 locations closing this month as part of a new strategy by Southern States Cooperative to focus on more profitable avenues. The stores offer farm supplies including feed, fertilizer, plants, tools and fencing.
"Always sad when a local business closes its doors -- with the recent closing of Southern States in Boone, (we) have seen many new faces," Miller's Farm Supply posted on its Facebook page July 27.
The post went on to announce that is now a Southern States feed dealer and that it can order other products locals were accustomed to buying at the cooperative.
"Anything that they sold, we can get it," co-owner Terri Miller confirmed on Tuesday.
