Chicken Farm Art Center

On the first Saturday of each month, the Chicken Farm Art Center is an interesting place to visit. Vendors set up around the grounds, musicians play throughout the day, and there is usually a place to get a good burger or some other interesting food. Donna and I do not go out here often simply because we don't need to buy the things that are on sale our there, but we still think it is a pretty neat place to visit from time to time.

I won't attempt to tell you what the Chicken Farm is -- the website does a much better job of that. But I will share some pictures I snapped on our visit earlier today. And I need to make clear that the Chicken Farm is open throughout the year, not just on first Saturdays of each month. If you get a chance, stop by this little community of free spirits.

Here's Donna standing just inside the entrance. You can see a few of the vendor tents located direction ahead. To the left is a row of shops where local artists make pottery and other goods. 

Here are a couple of ladies doing a bit of weaving.

This is a fun place, as evidenced by the potter above.

A couple of musicians were playing some old folk songs for the crowd.

The Chicken Farm has grown over the years. Since there doesn't appear to be any master plan, walkways and new shops just pop up where there is room. The open door on the right leads to a soap shop. 

Here's Donna again. She's always trying to get in the pictures. 

Interesting corner of the Chicken Farm.

Since this is the Chicken Farm, I expected to see chickens.

Another section of the Chicken Farm near the front. I'm not sure what the lady on the right of the picture is dressed for.
