Since 1955, when local farmers first established the Cornwall District Co-Operative, our commitment to quality feed and genuine service has never wavered.

Today, as Fence Depot & More, we’ve grown into your complete rural lifestyle hub—but we’ll always be that friendly neighborhood feed store.

When Peavey Mart closed its doors, their staff didn’t just recommend us—they entrusted us with their loyal customers, knowing we’d deliver quality feed, expert advice, and fair prices without compromise.

A Legacy Built on Trust & Expertise

Our story is woven into Cornwall’s agricultural history:

-1955: Local farmers created the co-op to ensure neighbours had access to quality feed

– 2007: The Locke brothers (John & Bryan) merged their 40+ years of fencing expertise with the feed store, creating a true one-stop shop

– Today: We’ve expanded thoughtfully—adding firearms, fishing gear, dart supplies, fireworks, flags and even a pawn shop—but our farming roots remain strong

– John L.: Always thinking outside the business world to bring more choices to our customers

– Bryan L.: With over 40 years in the fencing industry has help customers achieve their dream fence with staying in their budget range.

– Andre S.: Our resident hunting/fishing expert who actually knows why the bass bit last Tuesday or knows every backroad and fishing hole in SDG
