Quakers Acres

My go to place on the first day of Brimfield Antique show in May each year is Quaker Acres.

Wide Diagonal roads allows slow meandering possible. And the vendors are kind, sociabl and relaxed. They are mostly real collectors of old Americana themselves unlike other lots filled with cheap repros from Indonesia and Thailand, or, odd and desperate African souvenir vendors.

I recognize many vendors in QA coming here for some years now and they recognize us, too.

Without Quaker Acres, May's, or J&J, you won't find Brimfield Antique show unique any more.

Compared to Quaker Acres;

The other lot have too many fake store tents to come in to replace the authentic vendors.

Surely I got pissed to walk long hours to see the same shabby chic stores selling Christmas Tree Shop type products, African and Asian carvings, fake vintage signs, fake antique cast iron garden nomes.

I hope the lot owners and the antique show host association weed the fake vendors out to maintain the reputation.

Still, Auaker Acres remain the top of my list this year, too.

Their parking, sandwiches and drinks, portaloo were all good and easily accessible.

Overall, the experience in QA is the best.

Best field to sell at in Brimfield.

Good.

Always good finds here during the Brimfield Flea Market.
