Here’s why you should mark your calendar for this special event.

A Unique Shopping Experience

At the heart of the Southern Marketplace Barn Sale is an incredible variety of vendors. From handmade jewelry and artisan crafts to vintage furniture and boutique clothing, these events showcase the best in small business creativity. Each fall, new and returning vendors set up shop in beautifully rustic barns, creating an inviting and eclectic shopping experience. Whether you're hunting for a unique home décor piece or the perfect gift, you're sure to find something special.

Supporting Small Businesses

One of the most rewarding aspects of attending a barn sale is knowing that you're supporting small businesses and independent artisans. These events are a platform for entrepreneurs to showcase their handcrafted goods and creative wares. By shopping at a barn sale, you're not just buying a product; you're investing in someone's dream and contributing to the growth of small businesses. The sense of community and connection you feel when you meet the makers behind the products is truly priceless.

Family Fun and Festivities

The Southern Marketplace Barn Sale is a family-friendly event that offers more than just shopping. Live music, delicious food trucks, and activities for kids make it a perfect outing for all ages. Imagine spending a sunny autumn day browsing unique stalls, enjoying local cuisine, and listening to live bluegrass or country music. The festive atmosphere is infectious, creating lasting memories for everyone.

Agritourism Adventures

In addition to the barn sale, Acres of Grace Farms opens its doors for agritourism during the fall season, providing fun for all ages, especially kids. From the pumpkin patch and petting zoo to hayrides and a corn maze, there's something for everyone. Children will love the duck race, gravity wagon basketball, sand diggers in the construction zone, playgrounds, slides, and so much more. Our agritourism activities are open Saturdays and Sundays in October, with groups being accepted any day of the week. It’s a perfect way to enjoy the season and experience farm life up close.
