Bella Rustica Coming to Milky Way Farm

Bella Rustica Vintage Barn Marketplace will return this fall at a new location, Milky Way Farm, just outside of historical Lynnville, Tenn. The second annual fundraiser for AGAPE Nashville, Bella will boast 50-plus vintage inspired vendors, live music, and plenty of good eats!  Come spend the day browsing the open-air market and be inspired by lavish displays of vintage dealers from all around the south, who will transform the historical stone cattle barn into a decorator’s showplace.

Shop for handmade creations in women’s apparel, accessories, gifts and art. Relax at the ‘Kudzu Lounge’ and enjoy live music while cooling off with a special ‘Bella Rustica’ flavor from Blue Monkey Shaved Ice. Catch the wagon tour of the farm built in the 1930s by candy bar king Frank Mars and hear stories of his generosity and love for the people of Giles County during the Great Depression. See the magnificent barns that once housed some of the great thoroughbred winners of the Kentucky Derby, and complete the tour with a peek into the 23-bedroom Manor House!

Learn how to transform roadside trash into lovely home décor and meet some of your favorite DIY bloggers, like Gina at ‘My Shabby Creek Cottage’ and Deneen at ‘Dreaming in Color’. Register to win ‘Miss Mustard Seed’s’ new book, “Inspired You; Letting God Breathe New Life into Your Heart and Home”. Also, register to win an original creation from Miss Mustard Seed herself! Learn about backyard chickens and get the scoop from the coop from Feed and Animal Health Specialist, Dale Bryson.
So save the dates, Sept. 28-30. Market hours are Friday and Saturday, 10-6 and Sunday, noon-6. Come experience one of Tennessee’s great hidden treasures in Milky Way Farm and shop the barn to benefit a very worthy cause! www.bellarustica.org. Tickets available online.
