Meet the Owners

Charla & Becky

Parish Home & Farm is a third-generation, family owned and operated company. In the 1970's, Becky's grandfather, Hewitt Fontaine, opened his first lumber and hardware store. It has since grown to five locations operated by two of his children (and spouse), three of his grandchildren and their spouses, and two of his great grandchildren!. Parish is a little different though. While they carry hardware, it is considered a general store with hunting, fishing, home accessories, and a seasonal garden center. Becky and Charla created an atomosphere for women and men to enjoy shopping together!

Becky is married to Remi and they have two sons together. She loves working at Parish, engaging with the customers, and exploring creativity. In her free time, she can be found on her mini livestock farm and with her puppies. It is on her farm where she embraces the simplicity of life and finds solace. Charla is married to Matt and they have two sons together as well. Charla likes to spend her free time with family, friends and her dog Lucy, reading, journaling, an occasional tennis match and fishing in Grand Isle.
