Bay Hay & Feed Nursery

Bay Hay and Feed, is an Island favorite not only to the locals, but people come from around the world to make sure that they get their Bay Hay and Feed wear to show off in their family photo’s and Christmas cards. They have been on the Island for 30+ years and will be on the Island, for a long time to come. When visiting Bainbridge, Bay Hay and Feed, is a MUST on your list of places to visit!

I really enjoy visiting this store, especially on a rainy day. It has both a nursery and a feed/​farm/​cute stuff market. A small café is attached. So it’s the kind of place you can walk around with a cup of coffee and look at all the fun stuff, then remember it later when you actually need something.
I’ve bought several pairs of boots, socks and plants here. I even brought a friend, who bought boots. The only downside is the prices for the clothes inside the shop. In general, they are much higher than their competitors. This is not surprising considering their location and small size. However, I also bought one of the cheapest pairs of boots I’ve ever used here, and they were one of the best I’ve ever owned. I wore them for several years working on wetland sites, and they really held up.

This is one of the coolest Hay and Feed stores I have ever been to.
The main door takes you into the pet section and they have a good selection of quality pet foods. They also have a Carhartt dog bed which is wicked sturdy and will (I hope) stand up to the dirt, mud, pine needles, and leaves that my dogs are now bringing into the house.
There is a huge garden section with a myriad of plants and planting stuff.
There is also a section of men’s and women’s clothing, in outdoorsy brands like: Columbia, Marmot, SmartWool, etc. There is a kids section, a sock section, and a cool cards and knick knack section. And, then there is the Bay Hay and Feed t-​shirt/​sweat shirt section. You probably won’t just walk off the Ferry and get here, so I think it’s the reason locals love the t-​shirts.
I was also able to pick up local eggs!
Plus if you pay in cash or check you get a punch card towards a cash reward…
Lastly, super friendly people, very helpful and well, just plain friendly.
Really what more could I ask for: o)

You can always tell someone from Bainbridge by their Rolling Bay sweatshirt.
I come here for fresh eggs, veggies, and meat, but also plants, clothes, rabbit food, chicken supplies — anything.
They have great home items and gifts. If you have pets and live on the Island this is the best place to get food and supplies.
Even if you are a tourist or just visiting the Island, you should try and stop by to check out the beautiful gardens and chicks.

Chicks… ZOMG so cute.
Chicks are fluffy at two weeks old.
Chicks are cute with their little chirping.
Chicks make you want to pet them on their itty bitty wings.
Chicks make you want to reconsider being a vegetarian, and possibly vegan.
If I hadn’t been getting on a plane, I so would have taken one… dozen of them home!
So they have a great assortment of shopping… hay, feed, nursery, and other knickknacks!
Prices = moderate.
Service = friendly
Great pit stop to have after a 5 mile bike ride!

Great place.
I love Bay Hay and Feed. They are a combination of feed store, landscape materials and nursery. Plus, they have chicks during the Spring and Summer time.
They also have some classes, local produce (in season) as well as a small assortment of baked goods.
Plus, the folks are just downright friendly and helpful. They all actually seem to really like working there.

Growing up on the Island, if you were try to think of what business reflects the heart and soul of the Island, Rolling Bay Hay & Feed immediately comes to mind. Perfect blend of old fashion values and new ideas in homesteading.
My mother was a farm girl at heart and loved our trips to RBHF and now 20 years after her passing, her well worn pink Hay and Feed sweatshirts is one of my prized treasures.
I loved our memories then and today I love walking in and seeing Island lifelong residence like Ed C. still apart of the legacy.
So great company, great service, great heart.

I love this place! Having an iconic BH&F sweatshirt is up there in coolness as having an 842 phone number! Everyone is pretty knowledgeable and friendly!

Indispensable store for Islanders, wonderful place to bring guests! Full of practical items — great nursery whose staff rocks, dog food, backyard bird supplies, outdoor wear and pjs, and the BEST socks. Great café next door. Proudly wear my Bay Hay sweatshirt. Always give visitors a t-​shirt, cap, or tote bag from here.

Howard rocks! Definitely the coolest store on the island. Everyone needs a logo shirt from Bay Hay. Chicks, dog food, great plants, boots, housewares.

What a lovely little place is Bay Hay & Feed. Just about anything you need for working outside and plenty of options for animal feed. They carry the quintessential Bainbridge shirt here which features any of a number of animals and comes in about 20 color combinations. They have everything from short sleeved baby shirts to big adult sweatshirts and everything in between. A little the pricey side at $ 14.95 for a regular t-​shirt, but it’s a good way to show your pride!
The nursery area is impressive with plenty of options for foliage depending on what you’re looking for and plenty of yard art that trends towards acceptable as there are no flamingo or folk art to speak of.
Solid place with plenty to keep you busy and shirts to boot!

How can you not love Bay Hay n Feed? Quintessential Bainbridge in the best of ways. Great products, good people, and the same smells and atmosphere as 25 years ago.
Very much deserve their perfect 5-​star rating.

Crocs, coffee, pigs ears, and a worm farm. Love this place, reminds me of my childhood. Played simon says, duck duck goose and other games in the nursery. We love this place!

I love Bay Hay and feed.
It’s probably one of the most unique nurseries that I’ve ever been to. Even if you’re not into animals, plants, and all that stuff, their sweatshirts are really, really cool. They also have t-​shirts, and overall they’re just awesome. I really enjoyed looking at the little baby chickens, which were absolutely adorable. It was also nice walking around and seeing what’s here. I don’t think that it’s very well known, but it’s definitely the best place to go on the island. Take your kids, parents, aunts, uncles. Everyone will LOVE it.

Part general store. Part nursery. Totally awesome.

Bay Hay, golden hardware store of my youth. The sort of old-​fashioned convenience store with an eclectic mix of animal care materials, a few rabbits in cages, BABY DUCKS! («all girls love baby ducks», james interjects) a gorgeous nursery, galoshes and chickens. i got my beloved pet chicken here, Cheepy. I think you could also order birds here by the box– (one christmas we had a closet full of 20 partridges that had arrived via mail). ah, the long hours i would wait for my dad to drive down sunrise drive to Bay Hay. the place that dreams are made of.
