This is now a Blue seal store, cutting out poulin grains and replacing it with blue seal everything, not so sure how I feel about this

I am still absolutely shocked at the shoddy treatment given me by George Achille, the owner of Achille Agway. I paid for a yard of loam to be loaded into the back of my pickup, and the kid running the front loader struck the top of the front wall of my pickup bed with the bucket when he dumped the load. While he was apologetic, when I went in to speak to a manager, the owner, George Achille, followed me out with another employee to look at the damage, which he described as a scratch. He also suggested that I talk to his employee about it, as if he had no legal responsibility for the accident, which of course is not true in any way. He asked me what I was looking for, some free loam, and I indicated I wanted the damage on my truck repaired. He indicated he wasn't an auto body shop and that I was out of luck.I'm 62 years old and this is the worst example of running a customer-facing business that I have ever encountered. Once I get a repair estimate I will of course file a suit against Mr. Achille and his business. I have been a periodic customer of Achille Agway for decades, and I will never again spend one thin dime at any Achille Agway, certainly not the flagship location in Peterborough, nor any of the other New Hampshire locations (Milford, Keene, Walpole, Hillsborough), nor at their Vermont location in Brattleboro.I highly recommend that in order to avoid the horrible kind of service I received, that everyone find alternatives to doing business with Achille Agway.

Plants, animal feed & supplies, stone, gardening supplies and more. I love this store. If they don't have it they said they would order it or direct you to a store that has it. Wonderful people.

Love Achilles Agway. Wish they had more organic plant options, but they do have a really good selection of plants and gardening supplies. Plus pet stuff.

We called ahead to verify they had the product we wanted. We paid and were sent to the yard with a load slip. The kid in the yard took us to the wrong product, and assured is it was right. It wasn't. Every time I go, I swear I'll never go back. Shame on me.

The Peterborough store is awesome. Why? Because of a wonderful person, whose name I must ask. She is the most helpful and knowledgeable salesperson I know. Always smiling and always gives great advice. I really need to learn her name. Bad me.

I shop at several of the Achille locations and its always a nice experience! Helpful, lots of unusual and hard to find stuff for my farm, plenty of organic options! Been shopping at the Brattleboro store for 50 years!

Prices on the dog food I buy (canidae) are never posted on the bags or shelf. I would like to buy potting soil without having to ask the price of each kind and size. Why don't they have prices better listed?

Very disappointed!! I called agway in peterborough in January to order Pullets for a 2nd week in April delivery. I was put on the list and given the option to pay then or when I picked up Pullets. I chose to pay when picking them up. I built a coop and bought everything I needed to raise the chickens. I was glad I got on the list when I did because of all the buzz about egg prices and getting your own chickens being more popular and harder to find. I did not want to get them from chicks so this was a perfect way to do it. A week ago I called to confirm and was informed that they oversold and she was going over the list of who paid to decide where the cut off would be of those that would get Pullets and those who would get a refund. My spot on the list apparently did not count because I did not prepay. I was given the option to prepay or pay when I got them by someone and never told otherwise. They would not honor my spot on the list even though I said I would pay immediately. I realize that employees can make mistakes but as a manager I believe they should correct the employee and honor there agreement there store employees made.this is a result of improper training and poor organization on management. I have given this store a lot of business and referrals and will no longer be doing either as the are not loyal to customers!! I would do the same if I were you! Blue seal and tractor supply are a better option in my opinion. Jeff B

🚚🚚 review: you can park overnight onsite. George (owner) is a cool guy and starts unloading as soon as you get there. There are no legit docks so they use pallet jack to pull pallets to the rear of trailer and then fork it out. I had 18 pallets and they were done in 45 minutes which is quite decent. They open at 8. Good experience. I bought myself some gardening stuff and Lady over the counter was really nice and gave me decent discount on my purchase. Cheers 🥂

A vendor shipped a warranty-covered product to the Keene store (it was supposed to have gone to Peterborough). No one realized it was in the wrong store and I went to Peterborough to pick it up. The guy behind the counter wouldn't say anything except "do you have paperwork". Kept cutting me off, wouldn't look out back, wouldn't call the Keene store - wouldn't talk to the VP from the company that sent the product when I got him on the phone.We have spent a couple thousand dollars at this store on flowers, plants, dog food, and more since we moved to the area in 2021. I will not be back.Oh - and it turns out this guy was the owner. George

They have everything I need for my dogs and cats. We also buy our garden supplies here. The prices are good and the quality is always consistently superior. If they are stocked out of something, they get it right in for you. Knowledgeable staff.

Went there tI buy food for the deer that come to my yard. The sales person suggested a 20 lb block" of deer food - seeds, fruits. Grains, etc. Deer love nibbling on it.

My Toro snow blower's auger stopped working after being jammed by a rock. In general, this blower has not worked right since the day I purchased it three years ago from Home Depot. It took multiple pulls to start, it didn't throw snow as far as my previous Toro, and the engine whined like a dying moose. Fortunately the rock jam seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. I called Agway repair to see if they could fix the auger. They picked up the blower that afternoon and delivered it a week later. Don't know exactly what they did with it, but it runs like a champ tossing heavy wet snow a good 30 feet. No whining, and it starts with one pull. Seems to move quicker too. Wish I'd have hit that rock three years ago. Good job, Agway!

Always great to walk in here and get that home farm feeling. They have what you need for planting and taking care of animals without the big industry feel. The staff always are friendly and help load items we go pick up. Never had a bad experience here

They are always relatively clean, courteous, and usually have what I need. Of course, I'd love cheaper prices, but in all other respects, they do a good job.

Kim was incredibly helpful. I came in almost clueless of supplies I needed for my taxidermy project and Kim knew all the right answers. I'm very grateful for her knowledgeable assistance.Although this is not the closest Agway location I will highly recommend this one to my gardening and taxidermy friends!

The manager has been repeatedly rude to me on various visits. today was the final straw. I have been a great customer and now I'll be taking my business elsewhere. yes it's a nice store and no issues with other employees. I guess that's why I kept going back. Julie the manager seems to hate people. It's time to get a new job if you act like she does!

Horrible customer service. Always very rude and smug. Every local I've talked to has had the same experience as me. They look at you like you are a burden to them. I cannot express how poorly they treat their customers. I've been dealing with this for ten years and no change in staff. I've never heard a single good thing about George Achille.

Very nice selection of greens for Christmas. Picked up a kissing ball that was beautiful. Prices very reasonable. You should stop by

I bought 10 bales of straw for bedding for a newborn foal. The first 3 bales I opened were very wet and dark. I called the day after the purchase, and asked for a refund, and was told that it was fine, and that I should dry the straw out! That would mean me spreading out 20 bales, letting it dry (it’s going to snow tomorrow), then take it all back up, and store it loose until needed! They refused my request for a refund. I asked if they wanted to lose a customer over $30. Evidently they did. I won’t ever shop there again, and I used to buy a lot of Enrich Plus from them.

My dog's favorite go to store! She loves the attention and treats she gets when we go we shopping there. A must go to place for pet as well as farm animal food and supplies, gardening etc.

I purchased 3 yards of 50/50 compost and loam mix. What arrived was 3 yards of last years bark mulch mixed with clay. It was merely scraps from the yard being sold as something to put in your garden. I also had to chase George down for the mulch I ordered. After two weeks of waiting I had to make 3 phone calls. Poor quality materials compounded by poor customer service forces us to find another supplier of basic yard materials.

Great selection of products from small gardening up to commercial grade and pet products also among other things. Fair prices and a great staff who are very helpful. I would recommend this location 💯.

You know this Agway has more than you might think. It isn't just a small hardware store or garden store. It has an unbelievable amount of pet foods and pet supplies. It has pretty baubles and things to hang in your windows, pretty wind chimes and bird feeders. Well, so many things that I suppose what you have to do is go and see for yourself.

They have just about all you'll need in the Farm and Garden area. Everyone there seems to be able to answer any question, or find someone that can in short order. I've gone to them with driveway questions, snowblower and tractor problems, pet peeing problems, garden plants and tools, and other various needs. They pretty much have it covered. No clueless cashiers working there... They all seem to be into it.
