Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market: New England’s Favorite Sunday Antique Field

After a full Saturday in Burlington, Massachusetts, celebrating an 80th birthday with my extended family, I pointed the car toward the coast and checked into the charming Clark Currier Inn in nearby Newburyport, already plotting a Sunday visit to Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market. I lugged my monogrammed duffel bag, a 60th birthday gift from one of my best friends and my go-to travel sidekick between Vermont and Maine, up the stairs to my cozy third-floor room and felt like I had stepped straight into a New England period drama.

With creaky floors, antique details, and quiet coastal streets outside, it felt like the perfect base camp for a Sunday antique adventure. Instead of planning a lazy brunch, I set my alarm for an early start, mapped out the short drive to this longtime New England Sunday antique field, and fell asleep wondering what kind of vintage treasures might be waiting in the barns, shops, and flea market stalls.

This Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market adventure is part of my Antiquing in New England series, where I pair vintage shops with cozy places to stay and a memorable find from each trip. Browse the posts below to plan your next New England antique weekend.

Todd Farm Flea Market: New England’s Favorite Sunday Antique Field

Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market in Rowley, Massachusetts, often simply called Todd Farm Flea Market, is the kind of place New England antique lovers talk about in shorthand. Tucked along Route 1A, just a short drive from downtown Newburyport and the North Shore coastline, the farm fields transform on Sunday mornings into a bustling outdoor market filled with antiques, vintage goods, and quirky collectibles from dozens of dealers.

From about April through November, this Sunday-only tradition draws everyone from serious collectors to casual browsers who simply love the thrill of the hunt. Tables and tarps spill over with furniture, old signs, crocks, ironstone, tools, garden pieces, artwork, and those wonderfully odd one-offs you only ever find at a true flea market. The real surprise, though, is that Todd Farm is more than just a field. A large antique barn and a house shop on the property, along with a small vintage shop next door, add a whole extra layer of treasure hunting, and on my visit, ended up being where I found the best prices and most tempting pieces.

If you are a vintage decor lover, porch styler, gardener, DIYer, or just someone who cannot resist a good dig, Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market belongs on your New England antique bucket list. It feels part country fair, part open air antique show, and part old fashioned farm morning, all wrapped up in that easy coastal countryside setting that makes a weekend of shopping, staying, and wandering feel like the best kind of escape.

Know Before You Go To Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market: Hours, Parking, What To Bring

Before you head out to Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market on a Sunday morning, it helps to know a few basics about when to arrive, where to park, and what to toss in the car. Think of this as your quick start guide so you can spend less time stressing over logistics and more time digging for vintage treasures in the barn, shops, and flea market field.

Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market Hours And Season

Todd Farm Flea Market is a Sunday-only market, with the earliest birds arriving around 5 to 6 a.m. to catch dealers as they set up. I rolled in closer to 8:00 a.m. and there were still plenty of booths to browse and treasures to uncover, so you do not have to be there in the dark to have a good day. The outdoor flea market typically runs from spring through late fall, roughly April through November, which makes it easy to pair a Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market visit with a coastal New England weekend on the North Shore. Get Directions

The on-site antique shops have their own schedules. The “house” on the property is home to The Hour Hand Clock Shop and The Back Room, which, on my visit, were open on weekends, generally around 10:00 a.m. to late afternoon, while The Vintage Peddler kept midweek and weekend hours but is in the process of moving. The large Todd Farm barn is open more often, with regular Wednesday through Saturday hours during the day and earlier hours on Sunday that line up with the flea market. Exact times can shift by season and tenant, so before you go, it is always a good idea to double-check current shop hours on the official Todd Farm website here.

Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market Parking, Cash, And Facilities

Parking at Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market is free and set up right on the property, with signs and rows guiding cars into the fields as you arrive. There was no parking fee on my visit, which makes it an easy stop to swing into on a Sunday morning. Once you start browsing, you will notice that many Todd Farm vendors are cash only and operate in true no-frills flea market fashion, so it is smart to bring plenty of cash in small bills and treat any on-site ATM as backup, not your main plan. You will also find basic facilities like portable toilets and usually a few options for coffee, breakfast sandwiches, or snacks, which makes it easy to grab something quick and get right back to treasure hunting in the barns and outdoor stalls.

What To Bring To Todd Farm Flea Market

For a happy morning at Todd Farm Flea Market, think practical and pack light. Start with plenty of cash in small bills, a reusable tote or two, and, if you have one, a small foldable cart for heavier finds. A tape measure and a short list of measurements from home can be game changers when you are eyeing a side table, bench, or framed art in the barn or the field.

Because Todd Farm Flea Market is an outdoor antique field with barns and shops on the property, you really do need to dress for New England weather. On my visit, a rainstorm rolled in, the wind picked up, and vendors had to pack up in a hurry, which made me very grateful for layers, a hood, and sturdy shoes. Plan on a jacket or hat if it is breezy, comfortable shoes you do not mind walking the fields and gravel in, and maybe even a small umbrella tucked in the car. Toss in a water bottle and a snack, and you will be ready to focus on what really matters here: spotting that one vintage piece you did not know you needed.

First Look At Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market On A Sunday Morning

Pulling off the country road into Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market early on a Sunday morning feels easy and unhurried. Parking was a breeze on my visit; I landed a front row spot with a clear view of the barns and the flea market field waking up for the day. Three long rows of vendors wrapped around the antique shops on the property, creating a loose U-shape of tents and tables that were perfect for wandering, looping back, and seeing what I might have missed the first time through.

As the morning went on, more dealers trickled in and the field filled with the familiar flea market soundtrack: casual chatter, friendly bargaining, and the shuffle of shoppers moving from table to table. I spotted plenty of seasonal decor, from fall pumpkins and Thanksgiving pieces to early Christmas greenery and ornaments, and heard more than one person mention that the big holiday flea market next weekend marks the end of the season here. On an honest note, I found the prices at the Todd Farm Flea Market field a bit on the high side overall, but there were still plenty of goodies to choose from if you are willing to hunt. And with the antique barn and house shops opening later in the morning, it is easy to start your day outside, soak up the buzz of the field, and then move indoors for a slower browse through the curated antiques.

What You’ll Find At Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market

Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market really is three experiences in one. The Sunday flea market field gives you that classic New England treasure-hunt vibe, while the house shops are a year-round favorite packed with antiques, vintage collectibles, repurposed pieces, and artistic cottage-style furniture. Just across the way, the big barn feels like a multi-dealer showroom, with primitive and traditional farmhouse finds sharing space with industrial, mid-century, handmade, and one-of-a-kind pieces. Together, they create a mix of styles that works whether you decorate with cozy cottage, rustic farmhouse, or eclectic vintage at home.

Todd Farm Flea Market Field

The flea market field at Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market feels like a classic New England Sunday ritual. Three long rows of tents and tables circle the antique shops, and it is easy to park, grab your coffee, and start strolling without a lot of fuss. On my visit, the mix of goods felt pretty basic overall, with plenty of seasonal decor, old tools, small furniture, and odds and ends, but not a lot of those “how is this still here” bargains I love to stumble on. Prices in the Todd Farm Flea Market field ran a bit high for my taste, especially compared to the antique barn and house shops, but if I lived nearby, I would still pop in regularly on Sunday mornings just to see what turns up. It is the kind of place where one good find could easily make the whole early wake-up worth it.

Historic Frank Todd Barn At Todd Farm

The Historic Frank Todd Barn at Todd Farm feels like stepping into an eclectic, design-forward gift shop layered with vintage charm. Inside, the space is beautifully styled and full of character, with dealers mixing cozy sheepskins, twinkling Christmas decor, and handmade pieces alongside true vintage and antique finds. You will spot long farm tables, pine cupboards, and hutches, some old and some newly built in a vintage-inspired style, plus an entire room devoted to higher-end antiques for serious collectors. It is the kind of place where you can browse everything from an everyday candle or throw for your home to a statement cupboard, farmhouse table, or heirloom-worthy piece, all under the same historic roof.

House Shops At Todd Farm: The Vintage Peddler, The Back Room, And The Hour Hand Clock Shop

The house shops at Todd Farm are where things start to feel extra cozy and personal. Upstairs, The Hour Hand Clock Shop is tucked into its own space, filled with ticking, chiming, and quietly waiting clocks that feel straight out of an old New England parlor. The Back Room mixes antiques and vintage pieces in that layered, collected way that makes you want to slow down and look at every shelf and corner. It is all part of what makes Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market feel like more than just a field of tents.

My favorite, though, was The Vintage Peddler. Casey’s rooms felt like stepping into a vintage cottage: primitives in one space, coastal touches in another, and an easy, eclectic mix of affordable finds everywhere you turned. She had two rooms marked fifty percent off, with prices that were noticeably better than what I saw out in the flea market field. This is where I found my beloved Frank Brothers Tea and Spice set in its original box, complete with recipes, and a charming coastal style painting for thirty-five dollars that I still cannot believe I snagged. The shopkeeper herself was warm and welcoming, the kind of person you instantly want to support.

The Barn At Todd Farm: Handmade Holiday Decor And Vintage Furniture

The Barn at Todd Farm feels like a gorgeous hybrid of antique shop, craft market, and handmade holiday fair. Inside you’ll find everything from long farm tables, pine cupboards, and vintage furniture to beautifully styled woodland displays, handmade decor, and one-of-a-kind pieces for the season. My favorite space was the woodland booth by Thomas, layered with greens, natural textures, and rustic details; I actually bought my king pine dining room table from him years ago at Sage Farm Antiques, so it was fun to stumble across his work here again. This is also where I found my antique racing skates, tucked into all that cozy winter styling. If you love a mix of vintage, farmhouse, and handmade holiday decor, The Barn at Todd Farm is a must-visit stop on the property.

How To Shop Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market Like A Pro

If you want to make the most of a Sunday at Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market, timing and strategy matter. If a 5 a.m. wake-up is not your idea of fun, aim for somewhere between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. like I did. The Todd Farm Flea Market field is still active, the barn and house shops are waking up, and you can stroll without feeling like you’ve missed everything or need a nap by noon.

Bargaining At Todd Farm Flea Market

This is very much a bargaining kind of place. Many vendors are cash-only and more than once I heard, “Make me an offer” and “Everything’s negotiable.” I found prices on the higher side overall in the flea market field, so I treated everything as a starting point rather than a fixed tag. If a price makes you uncomfortable, it is absolutely fine to counter politely or simply smile, thank them, and walk away. The right piece at the right price will feel good in your gut.

What I Look For At Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market

When I’m scanning booths at Todd Farm Flea Market, I move fairly quickly at first, looking for categories I know I’ll use at home: ironstone, yellowware, seasonal decor (especially Christmas), and little things I can tuck into wreaths, tablescapes, and vignettes. I’m always weighing two questions in my head: Is this something I can’t easily find elsewhere, and is the price fair for a fun, flea-market find? If the answer to both is yes, that’s when I scoop it up.

Packing The Car And Protecting Your Todd Farm Finds

On the practical side, vendors were excellent about wrapping fragile pieces carefully, and many had paper and packing materials ready to go. Still, come prepared. Pack reusable totes or sturdy bags in the car, especially because plastic bags are not allowed in the town of Rowley, Massachusetts, and a few vendors were still adjusting to that rule. Tuck a small box or two and some extra cloths or towels in your trunk so your new treasures don’t roll around on the drive home. With a bit of cash, a loose wish list, and a willingness to bargain kindly, you’ll navigate Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market like a pro.

My Vintage Finds From Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market This Trip

I drove to Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market for the Sunday flea market field, but most of my treasures actually came from the antique barn and house shops. That’s where I found the pieces that really felt like “me” and that I could already picture styled back home in Vermont and coastal Maine.

This trip’s haul included a dreamy Frank Brothers Tea and Spice Company set in its original box with recipes, a vintage coastal painting I still can’t believe I grabbed for thirty-five dollars, a pair of gold shoe card holders that will be perfect for Christmas cards, and not one but two sets of skates: antique racing ice skates and a tiny pair of children’s metal trainer skates. Each of these finds has its own story and styling plans, from cozy winter ski lodge decor to coastal cottage corners and Christmas displays, and I’ll share exactly how I’m decorating with them next.

Vintage Frank Brothers Spice Chest Milk Glass Jars

I think my favorite find of the whole trip was this Frank Brothers Tea and Spice Company “Spice Chest” set from Cincinnati, Ohio. The white milk glass jars with blue graphics and caps feel almost Nordic, and the original recipe cards tucked in the box make it feel like a tiny kitchen time capsule.

What I paid: Seventy-five dollars for the full set at fifty percent off. It was definitely a splurge compared to the two to five-dollar single jars I have been eyeing, but I have been hunting for a vintage spice chest like this for ages and had never seen this exact pattern in person. When I opened the box, saw the blue graphics and the original recipe cards, it felt like one of those “if you walk away, you will regret it” moments, so into my bag it went.

Where I will use it: On our open kitchen shelves in Vermont, especially at the holidays, styled with vintage cookbooks and everyday white dishes so the blue details stand out.

Styling tip: For Christmas or winter baking season, tie simple ribbons around the tops of the jars and group them on a tray with a small cutting board, a sprig of greenery, and a favorite recipe card to create an instant vintage spice vignette.

Vintage Coastal Sailboat Painting On Canvas

This sweet little coastal painting was one of those quiet finds that made the whole trip worth it. It is an unsigned canvas stretched over a wooden frame, no outer frame at all, just soft pastels and sailboats drifting across the water in a way that feels perfectly at home in Maine.

• What I paid: Thirty five dollars, which felt like an absolute deal. It was not even in the fifty percent off room at The Vintage Peddler, just leaning casually against a door with no price tag. The owner called the vendor, she said thirty five dollars, and I immediately said, I’ll take it. I almost never find vintage coastal paintings at that price.

• Where I will use it: Upstairs in our newly wallpapered attic guest bedroom in Maine, the one with the yard sale Jenny Lind bed, where the colors and sailboats will tie right into our coastal cottage theme.

• Styling tip: Try hanging or simply leaning a small vintage canvas like this directly against patterned wallpaper in a guest room. The mix of soft paint strokes and printed paper feels layered and charming without needing a heavy frame.

Vintage Antique Racing Skates With Ribbon

These antique racing skates were one of those finds that made me quietly giddy. They look late 1800s to me, all curves and patina, and I actually spotted a very similar pair out in the flea market field for sixty dollars before finding these inside the barn.

What I paid: Twenty-nine dollars for the pair, already tied with a pretty ribbon. After seeing that sixty-dollar pair outside, this felt like an easy yes and such a fun price for a statement winter piece.

Where I will use it: For now, I’m hanging them on one of our antique latch doors here in Maine for the holidays, as a simple winter welcome with the option to swap out the ribbon as the seasons change.

Styling tip: Vintage skates are incredibly versatile. Hang them on an interior door, layer them into a wreath, drape them over a front door hook, or lay them flat on a coffee table with a little bundle of evergreens. They instantly give any space that cozy winter ski lodge feel.

Child’s Vintage Jack & Jill Adjustable Ice Skates With Red Strap

These little children’s training ice skates might be the cutest impulse buy of the day. They are metal with a bright red safety strap, the kind of thing you can instantly picture tucked into holiday decor or styled in a kid’s winter vignette.

What I paid: Ten dollars at the Todd Farm Flea Market field. Honestly, it felt a touch pricey for an old pair of children’s skates, but they were charming enough that I knew I would regret leaving them behind, so into my bag they went.

Where I will use it: I am planning to work them into our Christmas decorating, either hanging by a ribbon on a door, tucked into a wreath or garland, or resting under a Christmas tree as a sweet little vintage moment.

Styling tip: Treat small vintage skates like these as ornaments for grown-ups. Add a bow or sprig of greenery, then perch them on a bookshelf, dresser, or mantel, or wire them onto a wreath or stair garland for an unexpected touch of vintage ski lodge decor.

Gold Shoe Card Holders for Christmas Cards and Photos

These little gold pointed shoes were one of those finds that just made me smile. They are dainty women’s shoes with tiny gold bows, and each one is actually a card holder, ready for Christmas cards, photos, or little notes.

What I paid: Two for five dollars at the Todd Farm Flea Market field. When the vendor said the price, I didn’t even hesitate. For something this cute and usable year-round, it felt like an easy yes.

Where I will use it: I plan to use them at Christmas first, standing on a shelf or dresser holding favorite holiday cards. After the holidays, they will be just as sweet holding small photos, love notes, or reminder cards around the house.

Styling tip: Treat pretty card holders like these as decor, not just organizers. Let the shoes stand alone on a bathroom shelf, bedside table, or vanity with a single photo or note tucked in. They add a little bit of whimsy and shine wherever you place them.

How To Turn Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market Into A Simple Overnight

I am not a travel blogger, but I do love a good, simple antique-filled overnight. For this trip, I kept things easy: a Saturday family celebration in Burlington, a cozy night at the Clark Currier Inn in Newburyport, and a Sunday morning at Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market before heading home. After shopping the barns, house shops, and flea market field, I treated myself to a coffee and a chocolate croissant at Three Sweet Peas Bakery Café, where I uploaded photos and soaked in one last quiet moment before the drive back.

If you are planning your own Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market visit, you can copy this low-key rhythm: check into a charming inn in or near Newburyport, spend Sunday morning antiquing at Todd Farm, and wrap it up with a stop at a local café before you head home. It is just enough to feel like a New England getaway without needing a full-blown travel itinerary.

To make planning even easier, here’s a simple Google map with my exact route: the Clark Currier Inn in Newburyport, Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market in Rowley, and Three Sweet Peas Bakery Café. Use it to trace the same easy little New England overnight or tweak it to fit your own Sunday antique adventure.

Where To Stay Near Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market: Clark Currier Inn In Newburyport, MA

For this Todd Farm Flea Market weekend, I chose the Clark Currier Inn in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and it could not be a better fit for an antique-filled getaway. The inn is a historic house with primitive and colonial charm from top to bottom, from the Witchwood Huntsman wallpaper to the antique side tables, desk, dresser, lamps, hutches, and old paintings that line the walls. I stayed on the third floor in the Noyes Room, with an antique canopy bed, a fireplace, latch doors, and floors that creak in all the best New England ways. It is charming, clean, and stylish, the kind of place that feels like a chapter in a Massachusetts history book.

What I love most is how easy it makes a Todd Farm Antiques and Flea Market weekend. The Clark Currier Inn is an easy walk to downtown Newburyport for a seaside stroll and dinner on Saturday night, then just a quick drive to Todd Farm Flea Market early Sunday morning. I will be skipping the leisurely inn breakfast in favor of coffee to go and an antique field full of vendors, but if you are planning your own New England antique weekend, this cozy Newburyport inn is a wonderful base camp for both coastal wandering and vintage treasure hunting.
