Serving Our Community with Heart, Hard Work, and Iowa Pride
Welcome to Chariton General Store, a family-run business rooted in small-town Iowa values. We opened in Spring 2025 with a simple goal — to make it easier for farmers, ranchers, and neighbors to get the products they need without long drives or big-box hassles.
What started as a small feed and supply business has grown into something more: a local source for both agricultural essentials and handcrafted Iowa-made products that celebrate the best of our state.
Our Farm & Animal Supply Roots
We began by offering dependable products for local producers and animal owners — and that’s still at the heart of what we do.
Livestock Feed & Nutrition
Quality feed, minerals, and supplements for cattle, horses, goats, sheep, poultry, and more.
Pet & Wildlife Supplies
Dog and cat food, birdseed, and deer products for your furry and feathered friends.
Seeds & Forage
Trusted names like Merschman Seeds, plus pasture and hay mixes for Iowa growers.
Haying Supplies
Net wrap, twine, and gear from Jones Twine & Net Wrap to keep your operation running smoothly.
We’re proud to work with suppliers like ADM Animal Nutrition, Jeffers, Stutsman, and Consumer Supply — names farmers know and trust.
Expanding
into
Iowa Made
