The building which houses Franklin Agway has been a fixture in Franklin since 1954 when it was owned by Eastern States Farmers Exchange. It is on the site of the historic Charles River Woolen Mill.

 

The Franklin Agway is an independent and locally owned pet, garden and farm store. Mel and Neal purchased the Agway in the end of March 2016. They live in Franklin and when they got off the train from Boston after work they would head out into their yard to garden, keep bees, take care of their chickens and walk the dogs. They use their science background to experiment with making beer, wine, cheese and yogurt as well as preserving their homegrown produce. Mel says that the Agway is a “hardware store for my lifestyle”. They have both worked in landscaping, greenhouses and flower stores and Neal has even worked at a zoo.
