I discovered this place a year or so ago and now enjoy making the half hour trip to shop there. It's a small, densely packed place with everything a gardener could ask for- tools, amendments, soils, mulches, pesticides, etc., etc. I especially love their selection of organic fertilizers and many specialized products that you're not gonna find elsewhere. Place your order for large bagged items with the very helpful crew at the front counter, then drive around the back where they load your vehicle- an easy, convenient, hassle-free and customer-oriented experience that's the antithesis of shopping at the large DIY stores. And the prices are great too!

Located on busy Chapman Avenue near the freeway, Orange County Farm Supply is one of those places you wouldn't expect to find in the middle of a city. ...
