KEYSER - Burgess Farm Service, the community store that has been serving Mineral County for 69 years, has changed hands.
Jeff Burgess, whose family has owned the community-centered store for many years, recently sold the business to two familiar faces around the Mineral County farming community - Tim and Whitney Nester.
Burgess Farm Service started as a simple ice manufacturer and distributor in 1952. Two years later, they became a Southern States dealer. The early days left a lasting impression and the owners of the business never forgot the simple joys of bringing ice to people throughout the area. They have worked to create the same friendly bonds with every customer that comes through the door.
