‘We’ll load your rural supplies for you’

ADAM and Narelle Kither of Woombye Rural Supplies have quickly adapted their shop and services to comply with COVID-19 regulations & keep their staff and customers safe.

“We have arranged things so that we are able to offer our customers a zero contact service,” Adam said. “People can call ahead, order their goods, pay and then drive in and we can load up their vehicle. It is a way that people can get on with their lives as much as possible and we can all stay safe and help to slow the spread of COVID-19.”

“We are also restricting the number of people in the shop at any given time, and

have plenty of hand sanitizer available for people to use.”

Woombye Rural Supplies looks after people on acreage properties, hobby farms and regular households as well.

“We are pretty much able to service most needs for people in our area,” said Adam.

Woombye Rural Supplies have a full range of products for people who keep stock, including feed and supplements, rural fencing and gates, hardware and plumbing lines and pumps and pet food and accesso- ries for cats and dogs too.

“It is interesting to see how many people are looking at keeping chooks and growing their own food at the moment. I guess it is a real sign of the times. And with so many

people now self isolating and spending heaps more time at home, they are getting back out into their gardens and starting gar- dening projects.

“We can help with all of those things because we sell potting mix, various plant seeds and fertiliser. Lots of people are having problems with lawn grub right now, which is a shame after we have finally had rain and things have greened up. So we keep pesti- cides, herbicides and lawn grub killer too.”

Woombye Rural Supplies is at 6-10 Blackall Street Woombye, phone 5442 1190. You can check out their website on www.woombyeruralsupplies.com.au and find them on Facebook at @woombyeruralsupplies
