“The antiques are housed in a former historic general store and also in an adjacent barn in the village of Head Tide on the Sheepscot River. The owner Richard is very nice and is a certified antiques appraiser (and painter and poet!). There were antique and vintage items of all kinds (check the website). I bought a beautiful circa 1800s salt glazed pitcher (photo attached). The prices are extremely reasonable, especially compared to a lot of antique stores that I've been to in New England. On the day I went it was so humid that I couldn't spend as much time as I wanted to without passing out, but I'll definitely return when the weather is more cooperative.”

“Loved it! This shop is only two floors and a large deck, but has a great representation of collectibles from several decades.There are a lot of markdown sales going on currently.The owner is very nice and such a pleasure to chat with.”
“This is a renovated chicken barn on two floors. Narrow aisles run the length of each floor and spaces are rented out on consignment to a variety of vendors. This store sells everything from fresh eggs to hand knitted hats in addition to antiques and collectables. This place is clean and merchandise is nicely presented. Prices are not subject to dickering as this is a consignment business but the sales staff will presemt reasonable offers to consigners and get back to you eith an answer when they get one. This won't happen while you wait but it is a nice "extra mile" service. Consignment tables will have sales and these are clearly marked. There is a rest room here and credit/debit cards are now welcome with no minimum purchase. Aisles are crowded and entrance and stairs preclude wheelchair access.This is a fun stop in a beautiful scenic area. Be ready to encounter other shoppers at close quarters due to narrow aisles and keep moving in the direction of the arrows marked on the floor. Most of all have fun!”
“Good selection of glass, owner was a really nice person who appeared to be very knowledgeable about his product. The only con is that it's not a big space, walkthrough was less than 15 minutes”
“This auction house is amazing! Rusty and his staff are experienced, honest, friendly and good at what they do! Their auctions are filled with rare antiques, quality furniture, fine art, industrial salvage and an eclectic mix of other goods. I recently scored a gorgeous painting that I will treasure for a long time. Thank you Farrin’s Country Auctions!”

“Went in to sell some old coins. I was greeted and asked what brought me in. I let them know and they went to get the gentleman who I assume owns the place. He went through and was efficient in doing so. I felt he offered a fair price and I left happy.
I know enough that the coins I brought in were probably worth double what I was offered, but I also know he has a business to run and also has to turn a profit himself. Certainly didn’t go in to haggle on pricing and if I felt the offer wasn’t fair I would have thanked him for his time and left.
Overall a great first time experience at this place and highly recommend bringing your coins in. Huge selection to choose from if you are collecting.”
“A bargain hunter's delight, I always manage to find a gem here every time we're in the area. Bonus - super friendly staff behind the counter, never any pressure or stink-eye :-)”
“I love this place. The guys don't waste your time, they're helpful, and probably have exactly what you're looking for.
I'm actually planning another trip there soon! I wish I could just back up a truck and go ham on that place!”
“One of my favorite stores ever! As a vintage enthusiast, I know I'm guaranteed to find some eclectic pieces to inspire. And while I'm at it, I can quality find gifts I won't find elsewhere. The atmosphere is always fun and comfortable and prices are great. I always send my friends here and it never disappoints! Amazing shop!”
