If you’ve been following the progress of the Shaker Barn repairs, you know it’s in its final phases. The structural repairs are done, and we have to raise money for new exterior siding, a roof, painting, windows and doors, and re-grading around the building. We’re almost there!

We’re planning a fun and exciting fundraiser, and we hope you’ll help! We hope it will help you clear some household clutter while giving to a great cause.

On Saturday, June 14th, we will host an old-fashioned barn sale, professionally run with services donated by Constant Galore Estate Sales, and all proceeds raised will be used to complete the barn project this summer. Please help us bring this three-year project to a close!

As you’re doing spring cleaning around your house this year, please consider donating unwanted items that might be someone else’s treasures. We’re looking for clean, complete, and working items that retain some resale value. The barn is huge, and we have a lot of space for the barn sale. Here’s a list of the things to give you ideas about what you might have spare around your house to get your creativity flowing:

Furniture, antiques, household items, clean kitchen-wares in working condition, collectibles, recreational/sports equipment, knick-knacks and decorative items, artwork, jewelry, toys and games in good condition, usable craft supplies, hand tools and power tools, patio and outdoor items, baskets and vases, garden tools and supplies, anything new-in-box, pet supplies and equipment.

We cannot accept mattresses, box springs, or firearms.

Together, we’ll complete the barn as a lasting monument to the Shaker Farm and all the ways that the Shakers have contributed, and continue to contribute, to farming, agriculture, and community wellness.

Thank you!
