For Farm Chicks, with love

This year marks the 24th and final Farm Chicks show.

It’s hard to imagine June in Spokane without it.

For nearly a quarter century, Farm Chicks has been more than a vintage market.

It has been an annual tradition, a reunion, a source of inspiration, and a part of so many of our family memories over the years.

Some years I went with my sister. Other years it was my mom and me. We would grab coffee, wander the booths for hours, stop for lunch, and make an afternoon of it. It was part treasure hunt, part creative inspiration, and part simply being together.

Over the years, I’ve attended Farm Chicks as both a curator and a shopper. I’ve looked forward to seeing familiar faces, making new friends, and feeling part of a community of people who understand why old things matter.

Farm Chicks helped so many of us see beauty in the worn, the handmade, and the imperfect. It reminded us that homes are built slowly over time, with pieces that carry history and meaning.

That is what I think I will miss most.

Not just the beautiful booths or the thrill of finding something special, but the people, the inspiration, and the sense of community.

Thank you, Serena, for creating something that inspired so many people and supported so many small businesses.

And thank you, Farm Chicks, for the memories.

With love,
Jenessa

Me, Angie, Amy and our Mom
