LOREN MARTIN’S BARN SALE features an eclectic mix of merchandise. Milkers, milk cans, pedal tractors, wooden chairs, crocks, lamps…
Way too many items to list.
He’s a picker. You have to appreciate a guy like Loren who invites folks onto his rural Medford acreage once a year to pick through his picks and those of selected vendors.
I perused his farm yard Saturday afternoon, taking it all in. The kicked back feel. The wind whipping my hair. Gravel drive and pick-up trucks. Rust and metal and memories.
I love this place, the rural junque displayed thereon.
You have today (Sunday, July 19) to shop, until early evening or until the last shoppers leave. The sale opens at 8 a.m.
BONUS PHOTOS:

Several pedal tractors are for sale, including this one reflected in a mirror leaning against a shed.

Dadburnit!! That looks like a great sale!! It would be a little over 12 hours for me to drive it. Rats! FD and I often stop at similar sales while we are visiting family in Nebraska. it never fails, we always bring something back to Oklahoma.
Your kind of sale then…
This time you show me a barn that’s neither blue nor red! I think the farmhouse is gorgeous. And it sure looks like you’re having gorgeous weather this summer xx
This is an unusually small barn and unusual for the cement blocks to go so high. Barns are sometimes white, too.
The weather has been really hot and humid. But yesterday and today were perfect.
