History
Started in March of 1982 from 4 walls and a floor, Agape Nursery and Feed became a viable, needed, and independently owned and operated Retail Nursery and Feed Store. At first it was retail nursery/warehouse for my lawn service and landscaping business. Retail business grew, at first slowly, then after a few years word of mouth helped the business grow to a point where the lawn service became too much added work. As for the feed and veterinary supplies and pet supplies, they were added in the early years because sales in the winter dropped too low to keep the business alive. As for gardening, I have been an organic gardener since I was a boy. I was taught at an early age that chemicals were not to be eaten. Now, many years later I am still an organic gardener and have a relatively large raised bed organic garden right next to the nursery. The big box stores are not our competition because we are able to listen to our customer's needs and to act on them. Thank you for your time
