Frequently Asked Questions
This may answer some of the questions you have for us.
Why are you re-branding to Sharpes Farm Feeds? Previously Sharpes Stock Feeds.
At Sharpes we have always prided ourselves on innovation, using modern technology and moving with the times. Being in business for more than 120 years means we have always adapted and innovated, something we will continue to strive for. We felt the time was right for a fresh new brand, and are very excited to unveil our ‘sharp’ new look.
Will anything change for me?
It’s business as usual, same great quality product, same great service. The only change you may notice in time is we are slowly moving our 25kg bags down to a 20kg size, in line with best health and safety practices for our customers.
Why the name Sharpes Farm Feeds?
This new name reflects the fact we’re growing some of the grain here on-farm, right where our mill is situated, and sourced from local farms. We also wanted to be clear that Sharpes products cater for a wide variety of animals, from your dairy cow through to the backyard chicken – every animal is important to us.
While you will see the new Sharpes Farm Feeds branding on our packaging and in-store, our company name remains Sharpes Stock Feed.
Where do you sell your Sharpes Stockfeed products?
We sell our products throughout most rural stores in the lower North Island. Please visit our Customers page to see all our stockists. If there is no stockist in your area, you can now order here at our online shop and you pay for the postage.
