Family Center Farm & Home is a retail chain with severn stores in Missouri and Kansas.[1][2] The company is based in Harrisonville, Missouri.[3] Its stores sell farm and garden equipment, animal feed, hardware, clothing, housewares, and food items.[1][4]

History

The company opened its first store in Harrisonville, Missouri in 1965.[1] The original business was called Tractor Parts and Farm Supply.[5] It was founded by Vernon and Kay Walker and later expanded to additional locations in Butler, Missouri; St. Joseph, Missouri; Ozark, Missouri; Rolla, Missouri; Sedalia, Missouri; and Paola, Kansas.[3][1][4][6] A 2020 article about the Sedalia, Missouri store opening described the business as family-owned and quoted corporate manager Blake Mills as saying he co-owns the business with his father and brother, and that it was started by his grandfather, Vernon Walker, in 1965.[4]
