On Thursday, July 23, the Farmhouse Store Princeton opened its doors to its new expanded location in Palmer Square on Hulfish Street next to Mediterra restaurant. Noted for its unique selection of handcrafted artisan gifts, pottery, glass, wood, textiles, metal, paper, home decor, and jewelry, the Farmhouse Store had outgrown its home for the last three years at 43 Hulfish Street. Having developed a loyal customer base and following, owners Kristin and Ron Menapace are very excited to expand.

According to Kristin Menapace, “The Farmhouse Store is proud to have over 17,000 customers developed in the last three years since originally opening. We knew when we started, that we were bringing special products into the marketplace. We appreciate our customers’ loyalty and friendships we have cultivated in the community.”

Naming itself “Like no other store in Princeton”, the Farmhouse Store offers high-quality one-of-a-kind gifts and home décor items including furniture. According to Ron Menapace, “Our barnwood collection furniture includes some of our best selling items– they are significantly less expensive than what you could find at an unnamed big-box retailer and are handcrafted using antique barn boards reclaimed from 100-200 year-old barns and mills.”

The Farmhouse Store is open Monday – Wednesday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday – Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Parking is available on-street or in the Hulfish or Chambers Street parking garages. Visit www.thefarmhousestore.com for more information.
