KENT FARM: A LONG TRADITION OF SERVICE

Our company history (4 Generations, All in the Family)

The LeGros family has been in the hardware business since 1850 when they owned three stores in Quebec. In 1962 John and Rex LeGros purchased Kent Farm Supplies, founded in 1949 by H. L. Turner. Today, Kent is a fourth generation family business, still focused on its fine customers and tradition of service.

Part of our success is the fact that “we have it when no one else does.” Customers know that when they’re in a pinch and need something NOW, one trip to Kent Farm will meet their needs. We are proud to have the largest short line business in Ontario. We hand pick everything in the store to ensure high quality. We have a huge used equipment inventory, and buy used equipment from all over North America and sell locally and overseas. “You can’t find it? We’ll find it. You want to sell? We’ll buy it.”

Our 40,000 square feet of parts inventory is simply huge, and includes everything from hydraulic fittings to bolts. For instance, we have over 50 tons of bolts and approximately 2,000 v-belts. And that’s only the beginning. Our customers—from ag to industrial, all are valued—come to us because they understand service, and want their equipment to be back in service as quickly as possible.
