Hohl Feed & Seed has provided a wide variety of products and services for farmers, gardeners and pet owners of Whatcom County, Washington for over 100 years. Provided below is an excerpt from an article written by Mary Peeples, Western Washington University student ... "The original store was opened in 1901 by George J. Hohl in the now-gutted Waldron Building in Fairhaven. The company sold flour from the first flour mill in Bellingham and fruit and farm produce on commission in addition to feed hay and seeds. George Hohl was also mayor of Fairhaven in 1901 and fought a vigorous campaign to outlaw gambling in town, bemoaning the dissipation of young men whose efforts could be better served by working in local businesses. The business moved to the foot of Taylor Ave. as Bellingham Flour Mills, to Roeder Ave in 1912 as Whatcom Flour and Feed Co., finally coming to its present site at 1322 Railroad in 1922 as Hohl Feed & Seed."
