Just five days after a devastating fire in their hay barn, Country Girls Nursery and Feed owner Kendra Wolf said the store is still operating at close to normal. The fire burned so intensely that it affected their other feed supplies, and also affected other area businesses that needed to clean up some smoke and fire damage around their own properties. Despite the setback, the community has rallied to support the local business as it works to restock and get back on its feet.

Why it matters

Country Girls Nursery and Feed is an important local business that provides essential agricultural supplies and services to the Silver City community. The fire disrupted their operations at a critical time, but the community's support demonstrates the value placed on small, locally-owned businesses and the importance of neighbors helping neighbors in times of crisis.

The details

The fire burned the nursery's hay barn, affecting their feed supplies. Kendra and Wesley Wolf, the store's owners, have been working quickly to remove the damaged feed and bring in fresh shipments. While the plant nursery was largely unaffected, the fire also caused damage to neighboring businesses like Marshalls and Champion Car Wash. Despite the setback, the community has rallied around Country Girls Nursery, with customers coming in to buy plants and other items just to show their support.

  • The fire occurred on March 27, 2026.
  • The store was back to near-normal operations within 5 days of the fire.
  • The final replacement feed shipments are expected to be delivered on April 4, 2026.
