Get Your Farm Fix Family Center Farm and Home is a farmer’s paradise. With everything from pet supplies to saddles to power equipment, their stock is made up of only the highest-quality items from the best brands. Their locations are based in Harrisonville, St. Joseph, and Rolla, and Paola, so you have access to their products no matter where you live in the KS/MO area. They call themselves the ‘everything store’ because their stock is so diverse. The staff is knowledgeable about the products they are selling and country life in general. If you need to talk to someone who can understand your farm and home issues and propose a solution, this is the place to go. Family Center Farm and Home has been servicing the KS/MO area for the last fifty years, making their brand a household name among all country enthusiasts. Their largest location and corporate office is located in the Mill-Walk Mall in Harrisonville, but each location boasts the same trusted brands and expert employees. Community Engagement Family Center Farm and Home also hosts community events and fund raisers to bring together like-minded people who share an enthusiasm for farm life. Last year’s annual St. Jude Trail Ride raised over $9,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. At OnTarget, we love helping brands that love helping the community. Services and Parts On top of selling products, the Family Center also offers services and parts. When you purchase power equipment from Family Center, you have access to their parts department, service department, and certified technicians. As long as you have the machine, they offer maintenance services to keep it performing at a satisfactory level. Prices are reasonable, so your power equipment doesn’t end up costly twice what you paid for it. Saddles The saddles for sale come from brands that any equestrian enthusiast will recognize, including Martin, Reinsman, and Double J Saddlery. Whether you just need a saddle for trail rides or team roping, there are plenty of options to choose from. They have horse tack and supplies as well. Choosing the right saddle is important because a saddle that doesn’t fit right will cause discomfort for the horse and the rider. The width of the gullet is one of the most important factors when picking a saddle—their saddle stock is organized by brand gullet width to make shopping easy. Farm and Ranch As a general farm and ranch category, they also carry animal feed, protein tubs, implements, feeders and hay. The brands include Purina, Ranger Gate Company, and Senior. Purina is a trusted brand in the pet supply world, with over eighty years in operation. They promote safety, pet welfare, nutrition and sustainability to make your animal’s life happy and healthy. Fencing The Family Center carries fences, a product that you can’t find just anywhere. These fencing options include bow gates and come from Priefert, a brand that’s been endorsed by the best equine and rodeo organizations in America. Their motto ‘tough enough for cattle, safe enough for horses’ makes them optimal for crowding and ride-thru applications. Every gate comes with a power coat finish, UV inhibitors, and a gate hardware package (with chain latch and lag bolts). Apparel If you’re someone who likes to incorporate farm and country inspiration into their apparel, Family Center Farm and Home is the place for you.

Whether you’re looking for something sturdy or a pair of stylish cowgirl boots that you can wear with a cute dress, you’ll find it here. Since boots are pricier items, it’s important to choose a pair that fits well (for kids, a pair that they can grow into) and that will work well with any outfit. They stock boots with embroidery, laces and intricate designs, as well as several colors. In terms of brands, the Justin Boot Company has been around since 1879 and employs skilled boot-makers to create boots that you can take pride in. On top of the finest leather, they also provide technology like the J-Flex Comfort System and Grip-on Demand feature. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time out in the mud, a water resistant pair of boots might be a good choice for you. However, if you’re going to be riding a lot, a slip resistant pair would be a good investment. From gypsy boots to equestrian style boots, Family Center Farm and Home has the pair that will fit your needs just right.
