"I wanted to build the best little feed store I could." - Mike
The Feed Store has been part of Crossville since 1986 — founded by Michael Ingram and now led by his son Aaron. What started as a one-man operation out of a barn has grown into something Cumberland County genuinely calls its own.
Nearly 40 years later, the conviction behind it hasn't changed. This is a place where people are treated well, where the staff knows their stuff, and where the community feels at home.
History
History
Michael Ingram didn't start with a storefront. He started with a barn in the Cumberland Homesteads, a loan from his dad, and a day job that had him up by 4am. In the afternoons he bagged feed by hand, a hundred pounds at a time, until late in the evening. That was the cycle for years.
In the spring of 1987 the business moved to town — a donated hunting shack for a storefront, and a used semi-trailer for a warehouse. It wasn't much to look at. But it was something to be proud of.
Family
Family
We're probably biased, but there is something special about a family business. We like working with family, and we also like infusing family principles into our business.
The Feed Store is a family business in the truest sense — founded by Michael Ingram, now led by his son Aaron, and shaped every day by the people who show up and care. Jennifer Ingram brings that same spirit to the garden center, where she's built something Crossville gardeners genuinely look forward to each spring.
The back of our staff shirts reads "Team Member" — not because it's a policy, but because that's how we actually think about the people who work here.
Future
Future
As long as there are people in the world who appreciate being treated well, we see a bright future for The Feed Store.
The goal has never been to be the biggest — just the best version of what we are. We're building toward a store with deeper expertise, a stronger team, and an even better experience for the people who walk through our doors. We're proud of what this place has become. And we're honored to be part of your story.
Come see us at 928 Hwy 70 E. We'd love to meet you.

"We love shopping at The Feed Store! It’s a joy being greeted when we walk in the door. We enjoy perusing the great variety of items for our yard, garden and gifts! They have exactly what we are looking for and if it’s not quite on the shelf yet, (like 20 lbs of peanuts for the birds), they’ll happily fill a bag for us, so our birds totally appreciate The Feed Store too! Amy & Bethany treat us like kin. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall - The Feed Store has it All!"

"Love The Feed Store! Such a cute place. Adorably decorated and great selection of feeds at great prices (many less $$ than Rural King and the Co-op). Amy and Chad are fabulous! Super sweet, inviting, and helpful! We have moved all of our grain and farm needs to The Feed Store."
