Question of the Day: Where Do You Go For Advice On Keeping Your Chickens Warm, in Real NEO?Submitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 01/18/2010 - 03:00.
One thing that sets your life apart from that of the typical real NEO resident is having farm animals - in our case, four chickens and a rooster. Besides adding the barking of a rooster to your neighborhood's timbre - at any hour of day or night (like now - 3:46 AM) - and collecting fresh eggs each morning, you find yourself shopping for very different family pets, in very different local markets... like Wilson Feed Mill.... a true gems of the region. I went there looking for straw, and ended up getting good advice from one of the senior experts on hand - I'm guessing old man Wilson - on keeping our chickens warm during these cold winter months. I asked a stupid novice city-slicker question, and he gave me a friendly, experienced, county-folk answer... exactly what today's urban farmer needs. But, far more than just a feed store, Wilson's offers "a variety of products for today’s home owners, pet owners, gardeners, bird lovers, landscapers, and more". Sharing the Cuyahoga River Valley with Cleveland's industrial Flats, Wilson's is located in a scenic location on the historic Ohio and Erie Canal, which once powered the 1850s mill, and the site features easy access to the Cuyahoga Valley Nation Park. From the Wilson Feed Mill website:

I lOVe this place!
BUT - what did he say, Norm??????
Pigs
Next animal to include in the menagerie--and a few goats, too.
A great place to buy seeds ...
When I first went to Wilson Feed Mill in the spring I found that they sold bulk quantities of vegetable seeds -- something I had been looking for for a while. When I was living on the westside and farming about an acre, I always bought bulk seeds at Landmark feed store. It is frustrating paying Home Depot or nursery prices for tiny packets of seeds and I hate doing mail order unless I am buying something really unusual. Wilson's had a great selection of lettuces, beans and much more. I will visit Wilson's again for seeds in the spring.
