Bob's Farm Home & Garden

What a neat store. They have everything! I loved the shelves of baking foods, spices, and candies packaged in old school packaging. You could easily get lost in the different aisles and areas of the store. Home good, camping stuff, jewelry, clothing items, farm and garden supplies, coffee beans off various kinds (that they grind for you right there), herbs, spices, grains, floors, candies, soaps, all natural, unnatural, you name it - they have it!

We were lucky enough to stumble upon this delightful shop when visiting Dover-Foxcroft for the solar eclipse, and are so grateful that we did! An incredible historical building, fantastic variety of home goods, groceries, and garden/farm supplies. I wish we had a place like this close to home!

This place is amazing. They have so many spices and for a good price too. I am so happy to find a health food store closer to me so I don't have to go to Bangor anymore. They have so many different things there. If you need it, they'll have it.

Love this place for so many reasons! I go there for the delicious inexpensive dog treats, but always find something more that I need!

There is so much here to look at. You can get animal feed, an excellent gift for anyone, essential oils, food for yourself and some soil for your garden. I love this store.

I love this store. It has all natural hard candles. Many other candles as well. Has teas and lots of dried fruits, neat things to look at, and things I don't need but want.

Great selection of products but a bit pricey! I continue to shop here to support the small local business, even though I could get some of the same merchandise cheaper elsewhere. One thing that keeps me going back is the extremely friendly staff! Sometimes, it pays to spend a little more money to keep the "little guy" in business! I only wish they were open Sundays...

Fabulous store with a little of everything.... literally! Really great place to grab less common gifts and things you didn't know you needed.

Was on vacation staying at a friend's place on the lake. He grew up in the area and it was a nice treat to share that experience. We went out on errands and some sight seeing. Stopped by Bob's for a quick visit. Though we thought. What a great place. The staff was so nice and they have just about everything you can imagine. What a fun afternoon and store. Or more like an experience.

As of today, you've lost a loyal return customer. I was shopping there today and overheard your bald male employee discussing politics with another customer. That's only the beginning. I'm not sure what changed the topic, but after my husband and I, both masked, entered the store, they quickly turned to the topic of wearing masks. You can imagine my surprise when I heard your employee deriding people who choose to wear masks, as I was gathering things to buy. Looking around, I saw that no employees, nor other customers, were wearing masks. Hearing comments like "no one wears them in Skowhegan", and "people are just breathing air, like they're meant to" and "wow, what's going on in Dover then?" as soon as we entered, made me rethink my desire to purchase your overpriced products. So I put them back and left your store. I've always enjoyed shopping here, and I make a point to on each of my multiple visits to Dover-Foxcroft, because I'd rather shop at local businesses than at chain stores, even though your prices are not competitive in the least. After listening to this rhetoric for several minutes, I decided I must not be the "right kind" of customer for you. Obviously, my money isn't green enough and you must not need the business when you so blatantly look down on me and others like me, who are actually just trying to keep *you* safe. When I say you've lost me as a customer, you need to understand you just lost a LOT of money. I won't be back, and I won't be referring people to your store any longer.

My kids love stopping in Bobs for a candy or flavored soda. I love stopping there for candy, coffee, organic eggs. Organic lots of things. It has everything. EVERYTHING. Go stop in and see for yourself :)

For impossible-to-find all natural and special diet foods, there's no substitute for Bob's. Sure there's an Edward's across the street, but you'll be hard pressed to find even a fifth of the items that Bob and his family keep in stock at this feed shop cum gift shop cum natural grocer. An odd combination indeed, but when you are serving the community of Dover-Foxcroft, ME, you need to be diverse to stay in business. Because there's not all that much business there to begin with, as the town's population is just over 4200, despite its status as county seat. Bob's carries dry goods of all kinds, mostly all natural or organic. There are bulk spices, repacked in small plastic bags. For folks who like buying larger quantities, they also sell small containers for your pantry. There are whole grain snacks and pastas galore, every possible variety of fake meat, and sweeteners both exotic (stevia) and all natural (brown sugar, white sugar, etc). They have a large variety of locally roasted coffees and more tea options than your local Whole Foods. There are local organic eggs from a nearby farm in the refrigerated case. On Fridays during the summer and late fall, a local farmer has set up a tent outside of Bob's and sells a variety of beautifully cultivated organic produce. There's another part of Bob's - the gifts and farm supplies occupy the other half of the building. Since I don't farm or buy gifts, I can't speak to the quality relative to an excellent farm or gift shop. If you need to decorate your summer place with lodge-themed posters, knick-knacks, and tablecloths, Bob's got it. You need feed bottles for your calves? Bob's got 'em too. Bob's made my vacation tolerable. Thanks Bob, you saved me from a week of bad food in the Maine woods.

Wonderful Family Business! Warm and friendly Staff. Love the monthly drawings on the board out front. Such a treat to go there. Can always find that unusual Gift for all occasions. It's not Christmas without going to Bob's for a special ornament to send to my kids. I could spend hours there. It's a destination place.

As frequent visitors to the Dover Foxcroft area, we've found many relaxing and enjoyable things to do there. (i.e. Bike riding, four wheeling, geocaching, eating broasted chicken at the Nor'easter, lunch at the Mill Cafe, whooping pie festival and of course shopping at Bob's Hardware) There is so much to choose from at Bob's Hardware the selection is absolutely endless. During our first planned quick visit to Bob's, we ended up spending over an hour just wandering around looking at all they had to offer while planning some special gifts for Christmas. The staff was very friendly and inviting. We plan on visiting Bob's real soon!

Every time I am in Dover, I love to stop at Bob's. From the family friendly atmosphere to the amazing variety of products, everyone is sure to feel welcome and find something there. It's surely a place you'll share with others who've never been. Just be sure to have some time to browse, it is bigger than it looks.

Miserable staff ! Lots of old out dated Merchandise with really high prices! Very Dusty and dark , there are better Nicer places around the area to get what you need!

Almost every time I am in Dover-Foxcroft to visit family, I make it a point to visit Bob's. I love the friendly atmosphere and the ability to find quality bulk foods that aren't available in conventional super markets, like steel cut oats or even chipotle pepper powder (seriously one of the best spices I've gotten my hands on). It's hard to describe all that they have, but if you do end up in Bob's, make sure you have time to browse at leisure. Every time I go, I make new discoveries.

Organic chicken feed at half the price of the chain feed stores! Incredible! Plus the service is awesome. The people are very nice. And they have EVERYTHING! (almost) coconut water, corn nuts, salt grinders, beer making supplies, bread making supplies, pet supplies and on and on. And all quality stuff, most organic, and reasonably priced.I will be frequenting this store often now that I've found it. This place is fantastic!
