About Us
Piers Feed Mill was opened in 1960 by Julius "Juke" Piers. Juke started out as a third-generation farmer in the Township of
Fillmore, Michigan. In addition to farming Juke also drove truck for Heidema Brothers Inc. but after 19 years Juke decided to farm full time. At this time Juke invested in equipment to grind corn for his own livestock animals. Many of Juke's neighbors had him grind corn for their own farms. As more farms in the area hired Juke to grind feed for them, it took much his time away from his own farm. This increased demand opened the door for Juke to start Piers Feed. He could now provide grind and mix grains for animal feed and bulk fertilizer for the farmers in the area.
Piers Feed still continues as a family-owned and operated business that has grown into more than a feed mill for
livestock feeding. In 2000, part of the building was remolded into a country store. Evolving the mill into Piers Feed and Country Store, and in 2016 we expanded again giving us even more space for retail animal supplies beyond feed! As a shopping destination that gives you the feel of the old mill and the new products on the market today. Piers Feed and Country Store still carries a large variety of feed for farm animals but has grown to have a variety of food for other animals. You can find food for your wild birds, wildlife, dogs, cats, show livestock, horses, and poultry and the products to care for them. You can also find lawn and garden products and pond care supplies in our store. Piers Feed and Country Store has a helpful and knowledgeable staff that cares about your personal needs.
