A Word about the Corona Virus
First and foremost, everyone at Red Barn Rummage and Rocks are so very grateful for valued customers, past, present, and future. Our hearts are with you, praying for health for all of you.
We also want to extend our gratitude to all the first responders, healthcare workers, and health care and food suppliers. Anyone out on the frontline, working to keep this country going are our heroes, and our thanks go out to you.
We have closed the barn until further notice, but are putting some of our favorites online. We are posting the following because we want to assure our customer's safety while accepting shipments.

"Although theoretically it's possible for coronavirus to get onto a package at the source of delivery, it's virtually impossible [for the virus to survive due to the package going through harsh conditions in transit," says Darshan Shah, MD, founder and Medical Director at Next Health. "Mechanical, temperature, and humidity changes would likely kill the virus before it arrives at your doorstep. There are precautions you can take to minimize your risk even more, says Dr. Shah. Disinfect the parcel with an alcohol-based wipe before handling it, minimize your contact with the packaging, and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water (or with hand sanitizer) after opening and discarding the boxes."
