Haines Farm & Garden Gearing Up For Peak Season

We are a family owned and operated Garden Center that has been in existence for over 115 years and is in its 4th generation. The business started around 1885 as a general store named Morton & Haines. They sold groceries and farmers’ supplies, including farm equipment. It housed the “Parry Post Office” until the free rural delivery system was inaugurated. At that time the post office was moved to its current site – “The Palmyra Post Office”. As farms in the area were sold, they added a Buick Dealership known as Haines Buick.

On our ancestral site, which is rich in history, with the tradition of a turnpike, tollhouse, a historic store and post office, the family firm continues. Great-grandchild, Todd Perkins, and wife

Beth, run the business today. Although we no longer sell farm equipment or Buicks, Haines Farm & Garden is now comprised of a Garden Center, Gift Shop and a Pond Department. We still offer old fashioned service, quality products, a friendly staff and our dogs, Bubba Gump, Lester & Mojo. Parts of the building and some of the scales that we use today, were used in the original general store.

Our spring offerings include Trees & Shrubs, Perennials, Annuals, Premium Annuals, Herbs and a large selection of Vegetable Plants. We carry Bagged & Bulk Mulches, Soil, Stone & Sand. Other gardening products carried are Retaining Wallstone, Belgium Blocks, Containers, Gazing Balls, Concrete Statuary & Bird- baths. We also have a large selection of Fertilizers & Chemical products. www.hainesfarmandgarden.com

In our Organic Department our most popular product is Safe & Simple Corn Gluten. It helps control crabgrass, dandelions, chickweed and most importantly is not harmful to the environment. We carry a full line of Espoma Products, including a 4 Step Lawn Program that is chemical free and safe for kids and pets, Organic Disease & Insect Control and Milky Spore Grub Control. Additional products include Earthworm Castings, Alaska Fish Fertilizer and Diatomaceous Earth. Compost bins and rain barrels are also available.
