Rainsford Rural

Where We Began

Rainsford Rural was established in 1990. David Bottom and his mother Anne soon took over management and renamed the business South East Rural Supplies. In a small store located on Vale Street, Cooma, they barely got by selling small quantities of drenches, vaccines and dog food. 

The Next Step

Our Expansion

David and his team expanded from their small premises on 88-92 Vale Street to a large warehouse located at 6 Commission Street in 2015. The additional warehouse space has allowed the business to accommodate and sell a greater variety and quantity of agri-products. And with the additional feature of a convenient drive-through system has made purchasing products a fast and efficient process for all of their customers.

30 Years On

Today

South East Rural has gone from strength to strength since the expansion of the business and is now considered the leading agribusiness in the region. Similarly, the team’s overall knowledge has grown to accommodate a wide range of expert advice and solutions. South East Rural only plans on growing bigger and better.  

Without the dedication and passionate support of loyal and new customers, South East Rural would not have been nearly as successful as it is today.
