Feed shop grand opening
The new Buckley's Homestead Supply at 1501 W. Colorado Ave. will have a grand opening Friday, June 29, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Owned by Ed and Allison Buckley, the business sells animal feed and supplies, beekeeping equipment and supplies for making soaps, candles and cheese.
The couple currently runs an urban homestead, where they raise chickens and have a large organic garden. Asked why they decided to start this business on the Westside, Allison said it was partly personal: “We live on the Westside and didn't like having to drive so far to get our own feed.”
The business is open Tuesday through Sunday.
The phone is 358-8510, the e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.org, and the website is buckleyshs.com.
