Shirley Feed and Seed was started by Dr. Stonewell Shirley in 1957. Dr. Shirley started the feed business with two mobile feed mills. He traveled with the mills around Jackson, Banks, Madison and parts of Hall and Barrow counties, grinding feed for small dairies and livestock operations.
Since Dr. Shirley was a small and large animal veterinarian, he bought a building that could serve as part veterinarian practice and part feed store. This became the site of Shirley Feed and Seed.
Dr. Shirley’s son, Stone, bought the business in 1987. Stone and his son Matt, run the store.
Shirley Feed and Seed is a full time farm and garden store with feed and mineral, seed, lawn and garden supplies, animal health supplies, tack, pet heath supplies and Sullivan show supplies.
