Specialties
The Craft Barn is a renovated dairy barn located on our family farm, we purposely kept the barn's original interior intact while converting the barn into a spacious retail establishment. We specialize in country gifts & home decor, but because many of our items are locally made and consigned you never know what treasures you will find!
Visitors tell us our store is like visiting their favorite craft show; our friendly farm animals love children and often are willing to pose for photos, so bring your camera!
History
Established in 2002.
The Craft Barn was truly a working dairy barn before a devastating windstorm ripped through the countryside, the storm caused major damage to the farm including leveling the upper portion of the barn. After countless hours of clean up the owners found a builder willing to rebuild a barn on the original foundation. The Craft Barn now stands as a focal point on the farm, greeting visitors, tourists and craft show enthusiasts.
Meet the Business Owner: Sharon S.
A proud Midwest farmer's daughter, Sharon was the "brainchild" behind converting the barn into a retail establishment, she adamantly kept the barn's original interior in tact when renovating the barn, she jokingly admits "that was self preservation, just in case the gift store didn't work, I could go back to milking cows in the barn".
Her strong farm work ethic was good training for working 7 days a week in The Craft Barn, "I love helping people find the perfect souvenir or accessory to decorate their home, but what I really love is sharing my farm way of life. It gives me no greater thrill than watching a young child experience a baby calf sucking on their fingers for the first time!"
