New catalogue and online tools help rural communities access essential supplies amid product shortages
Home Hardware Stores Limited is stepping up to support Canada’s agricultural communities by expanding its range of farm products in response to current supply shortages. With a strong presence in rural areas, the Canadian-owned retailer is working to ensure that farmers across the country can access essential products.
Home Hardware plans to launch a Farm Assortment Catalogue on June 19, 2025, featuring a wide variety of new and existing agricultural supplies. The catalogue will include items like livestock feed, fencing materials, stall mats, feed pans, buckets, welding wire, and farming attire. This initiative comes at a critical time when many Canadian farmers are facing gaps in farm product availability.
To support farmers shopping online, the company has also introduced a dedicated Farming Supplies page on its eCommerce website. This digital addition ensures that rural customers can browse, and purchase farming tools and supplies easily from their homes or operations.
“Our teams have been working with rural Home Dealers and suppliers to identify the current gaps in the market,” said Scott Bennett, Director of Merchandise Strategy & Execution, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “The expanded farm assortment complements the other products we offer at our Home stores including housewares, power tools, welding and more. Our goal is to ensure Canadians have access to the tools they need to sustain their communities for the long term.”
This move reinforces Home Hardware’s long-standing commitment to agricultural communities. By enhancing product access and offering reliable customer service and expert advice, the company supports farmers in building and sustaining their communities.
Founded 60 years ago in St. Jacobs, Ontario, Home Hardware is Canada’s largest Dealer-owned and operated home improvement retailer, with over 1,000 stores nationwide under banners such as Home Hardware, Home Building Centre, Home Hardware Building Centre, and Home Furniture.
