The weathers finally cooled off, football is on the TV and rifle season opens on the 7th. It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Before you head to the lease, stock up on deer corn, Antler Max and more at Wells Brothers. It's good to shop local!
Cooler weather also means, little critters are looking for a warm place to live aka your home. If you hear noise in the attic, walls or other areas of your home, you may have critters living inside. Before you call the exterminator, give us a call. We've got solutions to your house guest problems.
Garden Tonic is what we call our Compost Tea. We make it fresh every week and sell it on Friday and Saturday only. November will be the last month for Garden Tonic until next spring.
