Jim + Nancy Worsnop and Tosca Dallaire have been operating Essa Valley Feed Services and Pandamonium's Pet Center @ #8786 10th Line Essa Township since May 2009.
Their freindly little feed store and its popular Pet Grooming Salon and Doggie Daycare managed by Monica Johnny, soon became a very busy place! with customers coming from near and far to stock up on feed, shavings and other pet and farm supplies. The business quickly out grew the farm...... and even took over, Jim's barn and out buildings.... let me tell you the cows were not happy.
Then these lovely adjacent properties became available, Jim and Tosca descided purchase the properties and move the Feed Services and Pet Center over to #4919 county road 90, Barrie.
The properties consist of a very large beautiful home, and a 10,000 sq ft Agricultural building on 76 acres of land, with 2 driveways and a large Train!....smack-dab....in the middle of the lawn!
........There was talk of sending the train to the scape yard.......
Around the same time there was a suggestion about making half the building into a Dog Training Hall. This new Training Hall and Doggie Daycare needed a name! After a few name possabilities, " The Train Station " came to mind ...and bammo...we knew we needed to keep the train on the property.
The train has been on the property for over 20 years now, and has become somewhat of a landmark for those who travel along Hwy 90. So now when you see the train you will know that you have arrived at "The Train Station" our K-9 Training Center @ Essa Valley Feed Services.
So.....Welcome Aboard......
