The Farmhouse Store

Would love to have my entire house decorated with The Farmhouse merchandise!
Stephen and Paula were so fantastic and helpful, love them both!

First let me start off saying that I absolutely loved the store. The layout, the merchandise — everything was splendid; I could have bought everything!
However, the biggest reason that I (and members of my family) did not buy anything during my visit was the fact that one of the employees was out right following my sister, my aunt and I throughout the store. Wherever we went inside the store this employee, was no less than five feet away from us the entire twenty minutes that we were in the store. I completely understand the need to have employees monitor the store in order to ward off stealing, but this type of monitoring was over the line. Instead of enjoying my time in the store, I literally felt nauseous the entire time. I have never been subjected to this type of monitoring — it made me feel like a common criminal. Once out of the store my family expressed the same sentiments.
Even though I loved the store and its products, I am never going to return because of this treatment and humiliation that I experienced; I would never recommend it to my friends.

Went in yesterday for first time. Loved the products, and when I asked if they had a bathroom the male salesperson was very nice and directed me to it. I asked a few questions about a sofa and a rude saleswoman in the furniture fabric area pretended to ignore me. I didn’t buy anything, but there were a couple things I wanted. Slept on it and went back again today. I used the bathroom as I just came from lunch and was in a hurry. The rude saleswoman in the fabric area said, «she was here yesterday. What do they just come to use the bathroom?» I proceeded to purchase what I came for, but they really didn’t deserve my business. Paula at the checkout counter was extremely friendly. But since I don’t like being bullied in a store, I’ll buy my $ 3,000 sofa someplace else. I’ve done a lot of my shopping in Palmer Square over the last six years. I’ve always remarked at what a friendly town Princeton is — both the shops and the people in town. They really need to do something about this saleswoman because she is chasing customers away!

Whenever my friends and I are in Princeton, we make a point of going to The Farmhouse Store. Their inventory is fantastic — anything from furniture (they have shelves that fold into a wooden table which is awesome) — to candles, lotions, serving platters, jewelry, home accessories. A great place to shop for a unique gift for someone.
It’s worth it just to see the store itself — the merchandise is always tastefully displayed. You could literally spend a half hour there looking at everything!
Over Memorial Day weekend, my friends and I were in the store and I tried on a ring I loved but didn’t purchase. I immediately regretted my decision the next day. I called the store, and Kristin (one of the owners) along with her staff, found the ring (sent me photos to verify if it was the one I tried on) and within a week, my ring arrived in a beautiful box with a note. That’s what I call a class act!
I’m looking forward to returning to the store soon. The owners (Ed and Kristin) were very welcoming and the staff is very accommodating, professional and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in to the Farmhouse Store if your travels bring you to Princeton.

This place is so full of WIN, I don’t even know where to start! Great furnishings and gifts at very reasonable prices. The customer service was also great. Paula let me bombard her with a million questions and never made me feel rushed. There are so many great local and university related goodies, from pillows to cups to signs that it would be easy for a Princeton native to go crazy in here. Plus thet do some custom sign work too, so don’t be afraid to ask if you don’t see exactly what you are looking for. Overall a great shop and I will definitely be back!

Princeton Location:
Who knows if the store has good products or not because I walked out just after I walked in. I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman when she walked into the dress shop and was treated rudely. If you look like you have money, the staff will smile and say hello to you just as the gentleman near me was greeted hello. When they saw me, they looked away. I am sure I am more educated then both of the female workers and that I earn more money then both of them put together (not hard to do bc retail pays pretty badly). Too bad the woman are not educated enough to understand the power of social media. Twitter would be my next stop, but this company does not have the understanding to be part of Twitter and the woman most likely do not understand how it works anyway. I guess Facebook is my only possible other option, unless they have to approve posts.

LOVE!
the staff is incredibly sweet & helpful… and i LOVE their merchandise!
such a great addition to princeton!

What a wonderful find in downtown Princeton. This lovely shop has obviously done their homework and found some of the most unique goods for gifts or home décor. (We walked out with some early Christmas gifts.) Our favorite part was how friendly they were. Definitely worth the stop.
