Mapleton Farm and Home

Business in Mapleton, MN

Built in 1915, the store has undergone a number of transformations over the years. But one thing has remained constant, the value and service provided to all customers.

After extensive renovations in 2014, Mapleton Farm & Home opened as a Do it Best retailer, serving communities and businesses within the entire Maple River area. Jim Heins, a Mapleton-area farmer and businessman, is responsible for the recent upgrades to the store, as well as its success.

Jim, his wife Betsy and an eager team of associates serve customers 7 days a week, in a beautiful state-of-the-art facility. Mapleton Farm and Home has a definite focus on agriculture, providing area farmers with everything from replacement parts to traditional hardware needs. Livestock, equine and pet supplies are plentiful. For the homeowner, Jim and Betsy’s team have do-it-yourself supplies, a paint center, automotive supplies, housewares and more.

Mapleton Farm and Home continues the tradition of bringing quality, value and convenience to the community.

For as long as Mapleton residents can remember, the local hardware store, now Mapleton Farm & Home, has been the area’s source for tools, home goods, ag-supplies, equipment service and more. Proud to be a part of the community, Mapleton Farm & Home carries the brands you can count on, along with friendly, knowledgeable, hometown service.

Come to Mapleton Farm & Home for the products you need and the service you want from the people you know.

In early 2013, Mapleton Farm and Home LLC owners Jim Heins and Elizabeth Van Der Hagen began working closely with the City of Mapleton to bring a new retail storefront to the Mapleton landscape in the circa 1915 building, which had been vacant for over a year.

After selecting Do IT Best as the hardware supplier, taking ownership of the property in October 2013 and putting a management team in place, extensive demolition and renovations began on the building. Fixtures and products began arriving in March 2014 and the doors opened to the public in April 2014, offering an evolving selection of products and services geared toward the local community area businesses and agricultural segments.
