Instead of grass our company is now surrounded by a gravel yard with 1 gallon plants that are lost in a sea of gray or just plain dying. The effect is a prison compound. From the beginning we've had irrigation issues: from leaky manifolds to drip heads popping off to broken lines. They have promised to fix our problems many times and kept us waiting for dates they never kept. We have spoken with the owner and his employees many times. Months later they remain cordial on the phone but completely unresponsive (no show specialists). If you want a competitive price for a terrible product and no recourse, this is your company.

Ok, first of all the Mercantile no longer goes by that name. It is now under the name Bomgarrs and…read morethey are very different in quality so I will go ahead and kill two birds with one stone here by reviewing The Mercantile and Bomgarrs. As The Mercantile this was a great place. The overall quality of the merchandise was good! They had ranch and farming clothes, supplies, feed for all of your rural yard pets, gardening supplies, some building supplies and more! The thing that drew me to The Mercantile almost every year(and I am NOT a farm and ranch person, despite being raised on a ranch) was going to see the little baby birds that they sold. They had baby geese, turkeys, chickens and ducks! All very adorable and very tempting to buy! I have the property to have these birds as pets but I live near a pasture and there are foxes all over so I know that they wouldn't last two seconds at my house and unfortunately I don't have suitable accommodations for them. Now onto Bomgarrs. I would give them anywhere between 2.5 and 3 stars. When I was in here a few days ago I was expecting it to be more or less the same as the Mercantile, just the name change. While that is more or less true as to what happened there are differences that the picky consumer would notice. Some of the merchandise is not quite as high quality that The Mercantile had. Some things seemed very cheap looking and the prices didn't necessarily reflect that on everything. They did have baby birds still but only a handful of chicks which looked dirty, slightly sickly and wings that looked like they got ruffed up a bit like they into a fight. There were no other baby birds here but chickens this time though there were other cages than just the three occupied ones that were here but nothing was in them. Bomgarrs also seems to have an expanded hardware section that I didn't notice as much with The Mercantile as well as lawn furniture. In the hardware section I was looking at chainsaws that I was pondering on buying because I have a tree that should be sawed down at home. There wasn't really a modest price range with the chainsaws. Maybe since I don't have a clue about chainsaws that they all come between $170-$500 but if I remember correctly from last year browsing for one there were more modestly priced ones out there and seemed liked they would hold together after you started sawing. they had a chainsaw that was about $60.00 but looked like it couldn't hold up for very long. Bomgarrs has about all of the same merchandise as The Mercantile did after those said differences. I can't say that I won't ever go back to Bomgarrs but the overall impression was not very high as to when it was under The Mercantile moniker. The Mercantile must have sold to another company or something if there is that many 'subtle' differences going on.

That's what you get with this company. Plus his prices were better than the other places I called. The compost I got is high quality. Highly recommend!

To a Spinner, there is no fleece more coveted than the might Alpaca. Never mind you are spinning a…read morefleece that feels like butter and never mind the vast versatility of the fleece, never mind this luxurious fleece is hypoallergenic or the fact you can choose between Huacaya which has amazing crimp, or for he more advanced spinner, can use Suri which has no crimp....just a few good reasons to choose Alpaca fleece but the reason you really choose Alpaca....for me, is the animal itself. How could anyone resist those baby doll faces and sweet temperaments? Now, I have to admit to being a hobby farm enthusiast, mainly because our family used to be hobby farm owners, so the animal is just as important to me as the fleece. When it came time to go on my search to find my first Alpaca Fleeces, I wasn't interested in just ordering on-line or having a friend procure one for me, I wanted to feel my way through the process. You will never imagine my joy at having found 'Stargazers Ranch' in Loveland, Colorado. When you go to Stargazers, you are not going to just purchase a fleece, you are going for the experience! My experience started when my husband helped me into my wheelchair...why is that significant you ask? That is my way of telling you they are completely accessible! Yes, even in a wheelchair, you can have a complete experience and not have to sit at the edge of the barn floor and watch from a distance as happens so many times when you are confined to a chair. When I arrived at Stargazers, I arrived to dozens of fleeces and roving's having been sat out for me. Since I am a relatively new spinner, I needed some advice and instruction in choosing my fleeces. I knew I wanted a skirted fleece since I still have difficulty choosing what should go and what should stay. I was offered a vast array of skirted and tipped fleeces in every color Alpacas have to offer. I love the beauty of natural darker colored Alpacas so that is where my eyes went. I purchased everything from a dark gray, a dark brown and a dark fawn, and, of course, a stunning white from a girl named Curly Sue. The micron counts ranged from approximately 18 to 23 and they all promised hours of joyful spinning. After the delightful experience of mini-lessons on choosing an Alpaca Fleece and going through dozens of choices, having made my decisions, I was offered the opportunity of meeting the stars of Stargazers, the Alpacas themselves. I was treated so kindly. The owners went above and beyond to allow me in the pens with the Alpacas, starting with babies...how fun is that!?! The Alpacas were timid of me at first, after all, I drove in their pens in an electric wheelchair. It was a bit intimidating for them at first, but I was given some treats and it didn't take long for the promise of treats to overcome their skittishness around the wheelchair. In no time, I was surrounded by excited Alpacas. We went from pen to pen, meeting all the girls and boys of the farm...my joy was complete! If you want a fabulous Alpaca Fleece, by all means, go on-line and purchase fleece from Stargazers, you can't do better than their babies. However, if by chance, you happen to find yourself in Colorado and want an experience you will never forget, stop by Stargazers. I am taking home four bags full of beautiful Alpaca fiber but I have to tell you, I have my eye on a little girl we met whose fleece is destine to be on my wheel after her next shearing!!! I have found my Alpaca Fleece source! You should give them a try and make Stargazers your Alpaca Fleece providers of choice!!!

Ranch owner Cindy couldn't have been a more pleasant guide. She provided information about alpacas answering every question we could ask and more.

Cindy made clear that she would really favor a group of handicapped or disadvantaged children to a bunch of boisterous 8-th graders. This is a working ranch that focuses on stud fees, fleece, and selling well-bred animals and visits are just a small part of the income stream.
