Blain’s Farm & Fleet

They are always nicely stocked with equine goods at reasonable prices. It can be sometimes hard to find some one to help but when you do staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Not quite a small town store, but not really a big box either.
We go here mostly for tools, and they have a pretty good selection ranging from cheap, why bother type tools up to quality names like Milwaukee and DeWalt. With a few exceptions, staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
They have an excellent department for work clothes, including shoes, that are reasonbly priced which we would recommend.

This Farm and Fleet is always out of anything popular. Today its Jan 23 and they have no mens snow boots of any kind period but if you want a three yr olds swimsuit in yellow, no problem. Its 20 below wind chill and theyre full of swimsuits. Farm and fleet needs to be replaced by a tractor supply or some other better chain as its become unreliable like True Value did. We need a Farm Depot or Sowes or Maynards

Farm and Fleet is Nordstroms for men. I have to say my wife likes going to F&F. I don’t know how you couldn’t like a place where you can get tires for your truck, ammo and underpants.
Check it out. It’s a must.

I am only going to rate this a 3 star because i am only going to review the auto garage. My visit was quick and simple. I just had some work done to my tires somewhere else and since I have alloy aluminum wheels I need to have them re torqued after so many miles so this is where I went. The guy who helped me was very nice. He asked what I wanted got the tool, walked back to my car and 3 minutes later I was gone.
I will be returning to this garage for other tire issues soon. I called to ask how much it would be to patch a tire and the cost I was told was about $ 15.50 after tax (which is a great deal at other places it was about $ 10 more)

Hey why not visit Farm and Fleet while in DeKalb, you never know what you will find! This store has everything from car parts to food. I have never been their before so I was just kinda walking around and seeing what they had and if I needed anything… I actually found a few things there. They had triangle toddler crayons that I was looking for on clearance… SCORE! the food is a little expensive there for my taste but they had a huge package of peanuts that was super cheap and very yummy!
I had a very good experience here and will be stopping by for a visit next time in DeKalb :)

The store is a little intimidating, and hard to find what you’re looking for. The people were friendly, but I brought in a key two different times and they were not able to make an accurate copy. There selection of lightbulbs was poor, but an excellent selection of bird feeders. I’d say it’s a hit or miss.

Farm & Fleet has a lot of variety… clothes…candy…automotive…yardcare, etc. I think their prices are generally pretty good… but the quality of their products are generally not high-​end. I purchase things like wiper blades, air filters (car and furnace), and water softener salt there. I find their service to be very poor. We purchased a wicker patio set there… they were supposed to «hold» it in the back for us until I got a truck (next day). I even verified this with the warehouse supervisor. When I showed up with the truck, someone had reliquished one of our «held» items… and it was a hassle to straighten it out (and another trip).
Their Automotive Department has horrific service. Long waits on hold when calling. I had an appointment for an oil change… took 1:40 (100 minutes, not 100 seconds). I wasn’t late, either. I get «free» tire rotations since I bought tires there, but have paid to have it done elsewhere rather than endure the wait. I called once… was told I could get right in (no wait)…arrived within 15 minutes (it’s a 10 min. drive) and was told it would be 1.5 hours. I once had a misdiagosed automobile issue as well. They seem to have a lot of technician turnover and a lot of inexperienced staff. I no longer patronize their automotive department.
Summary: Shopping is good for some things… good prices if you don’t need higher-​end products. Stay away from the automotive department.

Just as good as a Farm and Fleet could be. I stopped here specifically for some slim cut black Dickies I saw online that rival lululemon pants famous «my azz looks hot» look. Nice! I was gladly surprised that Farm and Fleet had such cute pants. Great buy, too.
As for the rest of the clothes, it’s a bit bland for my taste. Lots of pastels, plaid, relaxed fit pants, floral-​print, etc. A city-​slicker like me only chuckles at the CG I CG (City Girl-​Country Girl) clothing brand that boasts the line, «It’s clothing that fits you and your lifestyle — wherever, whenever.»
Hee-​hee-​hee…
I have to admit that whenever I see Schleich brand animal toys, I can’t help but to stop and play with them. Be aware: this location has a great selection of Schleich play animals and accessories. They make great gifts for ANYONE. Trust me.
Overall, a great, friendly country-​esque store with plenty of farm-​related merchandise and other knickknacks.

If you can’t buy it at Farm and Fleet, you don’t need it.
I saw that on a t-​shirt once and all I have to say is «Toyland»

this store is depressing and feels like a time-​warp to the land of 1978, but they do sell 2lb. bags of cashews which makes it all better.

You know… I love this store! I’ve bought everything here from tires to an electric razor, fertilizer, shoes and shirts! Everyone else here has said it all already. Good store with good prices.

Not a lot that can be said that hasn’t been said already, or for the uninitiated.
A good outdoors/​tools/​clothing/​jack of all trades department store.
Great pricing on Lodge Cast Iron if you are looking for quality cooking gear.

Farm & Fleet is such a staple of Sycamore and I really still love to come here. They have everything here, including plenty of farming items. Great bargins on candy and nuts too. Right before Christmas the Toyland is a great place to get toys for the little ones.

Interesting variety of farm store type items, a very good selection of dried fruit/​nuts/​candies, plus a pretty well-​stocked auto dept. Good prices on darn well anything from a crockpot to bargain bin DVDs to dental floss or vetrap. But I won’t get my oil changed here again; it took forever and was a big hassle (have to go inside the store to pay).
