First visit at IFA!

The IFA coops are the retail stores of the Intermountain Farmers Association found mostly in Utah, but also in Idaho, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico.

For years, I drove by the Salt Lake City branch without paying much attention to it and just assuming that it must have been an uninteresting farm supply warehouse. All of this changed when my wife and I decided to step into that place and boy, were we amazed by all the treasures we discovered.

Not just farm implements and tools, as we expected, but also clothing, boots of all kinds, including cowboy boots for tots, live chicks, rabbits and everything needed to become a bee-keeper to name just a few of the innumerable items we saw inside that country store.

It sure looked liked an other era, before the age of big box retailing and the internet. Even if you don't need seeds, chick and Carhartt overalls, just go in and let yourself be captivated by the variety and uniqueness of its unfathomable product offering. We'll definitely be back!
