Dear Community of Canowindra

19 June, 2024 By Cheryl Kinsela

Dear Community of Canowindra,

I would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you and convey my gratitude to you all.

Richard and I were owners of Kinsela Farm Supplies for 32 years. We started in farm supplies back in 1992 and that is when we also started with CRT. From the store up in Ryall Street, Richard always had the vision of opening something bigger and have a showroom with more stock.

We then moved to the current location where we extended the range and had much more than just farm supplies, with steel, fencing – catering for the town’s peo­ple, the builders, the plumbers and all the tradies. We moved into hardware when the hardware store closed in Canowindra and now we are selling power tools and welding supplies as well.

Richard passed away 2 years ago, and I made the decision it was time to move on and let new faces and younger people have a turn at running this business how they would like to.

From July 1st the new owners – Molly and Sam Conway – are taking over the reins and I wish them all the best. I would ask to please show them the support that the community has shown us over the years.

My family has given me wonderful sup­port since Richard passed, and I would es­pecially like to thank Tony for being with me in the business. Tony will be staying on with the new owners, so will be a familiar face to all our customers.

I am going to unwind, take a break and start a new chapter in my life. Thank you again, Canowindra,

Cheryl Kinsela
