Call for Item Donations: Shaker Barn Sale

Last year’s Barn Sale was SUCH a great success and we heard you asking for more so we are bringing it back— with your help!
We’re planning another 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 20th & Sunday June 21st we will host an old-fashioned barn sale where all proceeds raised will be used to make repairs to the Shakers’ Carriage Shed, the oldest building on the property!
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. 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, working=condition electronics, pet supplies and equipment. Please no items that are damaged beyond reasonable repair.
We cannot accept mattresses, box springs, or firearms.
 
The Donation Process
We’re accepting donations Saturday, May 9th (Spring Volunteer Work Day) through Sunday, June 14th.
The donation process is simple: Load up your car, we’ll open the barn door, and you’ll offload items into their proper sections.  There will be signage for Housewares, Books, Art, Antiques, etc. Drop-off at the Shaker barn can occur daily from 8am-5pm. If you need assistance, please contact us.

Together, we’ll continue fixing up agricultural buildings on the Shaker Farm and honor the ways that the Shakers have contributed, and continue to contribute, to farming, agriculture, and community wellness.
Thank you!
