The Farm Chicks Book Reviews
Who Are The Farm Chicks?
In 2002, The Farm Chicks hosted a 'sale' in a barn. Together these two best friends went on to create extremely popular The Farm Chicks Antiques Show and to author a book called The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen.
Today, The Farm Chicks Show is an outdoor event run by one of the two original founding women, which features 200 vendors. It is a summertime destination in Spokane, Washington and people flock to it every year to buy antique and vintage items as well as homemade goods.
If you love outdoor markets that feature antique and vintage items as I do but you are unable to make it to The Farm Chicks Show, you can visit, in a sense, through the two books, The Farm Chicks In the Kitchen and the more recent book, The Farm Chicks Christmas. On this page, you will find my review of these books...and a bit more information about The Farm Chicks.
You can use these books -- the helpful information and the inspiring pictures -- for ideas when you visit YOUR local country sales and of course, you will want to try a few of the recipes.
