Someone commented on Griffith Poultry Farm in Fulton, MO and said that although Orscheln's carries chicks, they want to buy "local." The Orscheln family is from Moberly,MO - this is a local company. Just because a store has more than one location does not make them a large operation. And - large operations are managed and staffed by locals so I think that I will buy from wherever I feel welcomed and with whom I have confidence.
