History of Our Company
 Farmers Warehouse is a division of A. L. Gilbert Company, established in 1892 by its founder Amos Lawrance Gilbert in Oakdale California.
A newspaper article from July of 1900 reports that a new warehouse is being built in Oakdale to be known as Farmers Warehouse and managed by A. L. Gilbert. That name was used by the company until it was changed to the Gilbert company and later to A. L. Gilbert Company.
In 1988 the A. L. Gilbert company again assumed the name of Farmers Warehouse when the sacked feed business was acquired from the Steele family when they closed their plant in Modesto and the Farmers Warehouse plant and warehouse was relocated to its present location in Keyes.
In 1992 the distribution center in East Nicolaus was purchased from Jim Roosevelt.
The Company has continued to grow and expand its product line. We proudly produce Showtime show feeds, LMF and TDI horse feeds as well as our Equi line of horse feeds. We also distribute many other fine products. The company has grown to have customers in seven states and many export locations.
