The Trinket Trade Box is CLOSED until further notice.
I am incredibly disappointed to share that during a recent visit to the farmstand, someone deliberately damaged and tore one of the doors completely off the stand itself.
This stand was something I worked very hard to design and build by hand. I have invested thousands of dollars into creating this space for the community to enjoy, and seeing it treated with such disrespect is heartbreaking.
Unfortunately, this is not the first issue we have experienced. Over time, visitors have also stolen four of the pathway lights from the property. I have tried to continue offering this space in good faith despite previous incidents, but this latest act of vandalism has pushed things too far.
As many of you know, I am currently pregnant and dealing with health issues. I simply do not have the time, energy, or extra funds right now to repair damage that never should have happened in the first place.
Because the broken door has left exposed nails and other safety hazards, the Trinket Trade Box will be closed until further notice while I determine when repairs can be made.
Parents, please teach your children that even if something does not belong to them, they should treat it with respect, especially when they are benefiting from it. Community spaces only continue to exist when people care for them.
I would also like to remind everyone that while this stand is open to the public, it is still located on someone’s private property where a real family lives.
To the person responsible: I hope you understand that your actions did not just damage a door. You damaged something that took countless hours of hard work, dedication, and personal investment to create for others.
Thank you to everyone who has supported, respected, and enjoyed the farmstand. Your kindness has never gone unnoticed.
