DAIRY FARM ANTIQUES- Prosser's Largest Shop! Antiquing- Our History, Our Ways


We are THE largest shop in town, with 6,000 sq feet and a full basement. We have been in the same building and location for over 12 years now, been in the Antique Business for 40 years and offer the lowest prices in town. Our belief is to find furniture and pieces in their original condition that are affordable and not to try to make a new piece look old, or paint everything black or white then "rough" it up to make it look old and worn. We also price our items lower to begin with so our customers don't feel they have to haggle on prices. This is evident by the number of dealers that come from all over to buy from us to re-sale at their own shops and malls.
 We feel that antiques (first of all- to truly be called an antique) need to be at least 100 years old and should be in the original condition or refinished to as close to original condition as possible. Good quality woods like oak, mahogany, maple, burlwood, and walnut will look more natural, beautiful and stand the test of time without having to be painted another color, then "forced" to be distressed to look shabby. The feeling of having a quality piece be allowed to be used, aged naturally through love and use makes them more special and valuable.
This motto and quality is what has kept us in business and in the same building for so long. We don't feel the need to have to change our inventory, take in consignments or expand or open up other shops. We have many dealers, businesses, and other shop owners from all over WA state who buy from our
inventory to resale in their own shops or to display at their businesses as well.
Several local B & B's display and use our furniture, iron beds and concrete at their businesses. We'd be happy to recommend them. And many people buy pieces for the love and respect they have for their finds. We want to specialize in quality items to love, cherish, and last a lifetime that will be handed down from generation to generation. As Antique lovers first and dealers second, this is what we too look for in our merchandise and have been doing so for years. We aren't going anywhere, so stop by and see what you would love to have and own. Let our knowledge and expertise help you find that "special find." We'd be happy to hear from you and even happier to meet you in person!
Look for our new/OLD - ANTIQUE sign out front as well. It came from an Estate and was originally from New England-back in the late 1800's. We are very proud to own and display it at our store.
Located in Historic Prosser WA in a 100yr old building.
