Sutter Orchard Supply

Best outdoor store in the Yuba/​Sutter/​Colusa area. It’s a one stop shop for hunting gear, pistols, rifles, decoys, dogs and about 10,000 other things I’d like to have. Always friendly staff, top of the line products and good prices.

I would love to leave zero stars but you can’t. Recently won a ar-​15 at the Yuba Sutter brew fest. I went to pick this rifle up and the customer service was absolutely terrible. We tell one of the co owners and he’s like no problem I’ll take care of it and then my father in law goes to pick it up and the same guy gives my father in law a nasty ass chewing you wouldn’t believe and says we are no longer welcome. Well I’m a E3 in the United States Marine Corps and had plans to buy some hand guns when I return from my deployment but that’s not gonna happen ever. Thanks for the free rifle and I’ll make sure to tell my friends and family to stay away from your business sir.

I went in to ask about their rifles and was the employee was obviously making plans for the weekend with someone on the phone. When he finally got off after about 10 minutes he said he had a lot of work to do and since I wasn’t a regular, if I wasn’t going to spend much money’ he didn’t have time for me. I would pay more elsewhere for better service.

SOS or Sutter Orchard Supply is the worst company to go through. I bought a Springfield XD .40 caliber and was waiting my 10 days, when I realized that they written on the paperwork 11 days. So I called and asked about it and they treated me like I was garbage. The «manager» I talked to got upset when I ask why he was being rude with my questions. Apparently their company policy is 11 days, maybe you should tell your customer that before you take their money. He said, «listen guy, I can just cancel your DROS right now and refund your money». So I took him up on that offer and will be taking my $ 700 gun purchase to another gun shop. Congratulations, I will never purchase another item in that store. Wish I could give no stars… Trust me, their are plenty of other gun shops around to purchase from.

I have dealt with these folks for years on and off and they have always treated me great. I can’t stand driving to yuba city but I will if I need something from them. It’s the best place around for chicken stuff and the hunting section is great. The staff is always helpful and friendly and not stuck up snobs like union lumber. The prices are a bit high compared to some mail order places but if you need something for hunting in a hurry they are the folks to deal with. They are also a California waterfowl supporter witch is a big plus for me.

This place knows how to take care of its customers. I had to special order 6 squirrel traps and they called 3 different suppliers to find them. When they could not find the right ones, they ordered me the more expensive ones and charged me cheaper price. I now go there first for all my supplies for my animals and property.

After becoming an unexpected caretaker for some baby chicks (hens), we needed to find a place that would carry the proper feed. Petsmart/​Petco do not regularly carry any such things anymore, and at best you can find overpriced cracked corn, which is fine for fully grown hens, but not for chicks.
I was skeptical of Sutter Orchard; not originally being from the area, the exterior doesn’t look like the most welcoming, having seen the large and slightly dilapidated SOS sign passing by; I’m new to some of the rural/​farm side of life, and this was my first feed store I’ve actually been to. But I have to say, I was really impressed with Sutter Orchard!
The people were pretty helpful and friendly, they have a great selection, whether you have horses, chickens, dogs, cats, or whatever; they even had a refrigerated antibiotic section for specific animals, if that’s something you’re needing. The place is also fairly nice, quaint, but still very nice inside; as far as small businesses go, they really seem to take care of it.
The only downside would be the price; I know much of it can be found cheaper, and the stuff that is found at the big-​box stores can be found much much cheaper (tools especially). But, for a store that has a good selection, carries less-​common items, is conveniently located, and has friendly staff, I will become a regular here.
