In my personal opinion...THE Closest thing to "country" in Lake Charles City. unique products, awesome customer service and advice for everything sold here. Even the other customers are going to help you figure it out if you need a second opinion on your visit. I make up excuses to take a ride and walk around and just SMELL the smell of "barn life". Bring those little ones with you and maybe you will see some baby chicks.. I 100% recommend this at least 1 time to see what the inventory consists of. The stock is too broad range and abundant to list here
