The Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce welcomed two new members on Wednesday, adding Rural Rentals and Milkmaid Mercantile, both under one roof. Ed Shoemaker is the Owner and Operator of Rural Rentals while Amelia Shoemaker owns and runs Milkmaid Mercantile.

Ed Shoemaker dives into the types of items that are set for rental with plans for many more pieces in the future. There are items for purchase in the store as well like fire-pits, leather goods, and more.

Amelia Shoemaker, who runs Milkmaid Mercantile, says her goal is for local citizens to be able to create a full meal from her local meat, produce, and more.

Both Rural Rental and Milkmaid Mercantile are located at 1001 North Cheney Street in Taylorville.
