Specialties

Deaton’s Agway is your local feed supply store — we carry Nutrena, Agway, and J&J Feeds. All your feed purchases will be loaded for you! We are also a one stop shop for lawn & garden supplies, including seeds, seedlings, & nursery stock in the spring. Deaton’s Agway also offers a diverse selection of pets and pet supplies, from Science Diet dog food, to ferret supplies, reptile & aquarium supplies and even a pond section. We offer a huge selection of wild bird seed, suet, & feeders as well as novelty items for any birding enthusiast.

You’ll find our gift selection intriguing and unique; there is always something new to browse. Including items for teenagers — we have a complete skateboarding section — whether you want to buy a complete board as a gift or need repair parts and new accessories for your existing board.

From February through June, we provide chick & poultry ordering to our customers through two hatcheries — please email us for a chick list and order form!

From June through January we carry an assortment of small animals — ferrets, chinchillas, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, parakeets, hermit crabs, betta fish, guinea pigs. And we also help the local shelter (United Friends of Homeless Animals) rehome their kittens by showcasing them and accepting applications for them here at the store.

Come in and have your propane tank filled — and browse the store — you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

History

Established in 2002.

Deaton’s Agway was opened by Brant Deaton as an expansion and seperation from his hardware venture, seperating out the feed portion of the business to stand on its own. Since then, the business has taken on a life of it’s own, with an established customer base that helps it continue to grow. Our pet department has grown exponentially in the last few years, especially in the small animal section. We’ve continued to sell Science Diet dog & cat food in conjunction and by recommendation of the local veterinarians. We’ve expanded our chick selection to include an additional hatchery and many rare birds that our customers were requesting. We’ve expanded our greenhouse and nursery selection to appeal to a broader range of customers, now offering fruit trees, roses, lilacs, and ornamental bushes — and our perennial selection has grown by leaps and bounds!
