It's great way to spend a Saturday morning and to find a special piece for your home or a special person for a holiday... or just look and say... I'd love to give you that... LOL!

What a fun quirky place to visit. I will go again the next time I'm in San Angelo. Watch artists at work, enjoy a meal, shop. This was an unexpected treasure!

Not all of the art studios were open when we went. I didn't know that most of the art was for sale so that was nice.

We always find the funky places, the unique place and the most interesting places to stay when we visit a town. Being travel writers and photographers, we forget the chains and stay where we can get up close and personal, meet and visit with owners and be relaxed and enjoy our stay. The Inn at the Chicken Farm Art Center fits all our needs and wants. From the 15 artist studios on the property to the amazing Silo Restaurant to the comfortable and unique rooms, we find it all here and come back for more. Very clean, friendly owners who even deliver fresh baked muffins each morning and great atmosphere. You won't want to miss this one!

Where do I begin? This place is so cool and amazing, and has something for everyone. It was started as a place for artisans of all kinds to come and practice their craft, along with create a community where artists of all kinds could open their own little shops and sell their wares, while getting inspiration from those around them. There are potters, jewelry makers, painters, people who sew, candles, crystals, homemade breads and jams, and an awesome upscale restaurant that will also make pulled pork sandwiches on First Sturdays! The first Saturday of every month is so very special. In addition to the awesome shopping, they have live music in the center court by local musicians who create a picking circle and just belt out the music and tunes. There are seats and tables and even bleacher seats. We had an amazing time, and spent way more than intended, but have absolutely NO BUYER's REMORSE! LOL

The pottery and different art items at the Chicken Farm are wonderful to look at. I took my granddaughters, ages 5 and 7. They enjoyed it very much.

The. Chicken Farm Art Center is full of all sorts of interesting surprises. You can often see the artisans working on projects...from welding to woodworking, to painting, pottery, fabric...there is something for everyone! Be sure to wander the boardwalk all the way to the back shops. You don't want to miss a thing! Even the bathroom is amazing!

I stayed at the Inn at the Chicken Farm and went to First Saturday. What a great time! Our host Susan was great and the accommodations are very comfortable. We had wood fired pizza from the Silo Resteraunt and enjoyed live music.

Created by Roger Allen this center is made up of different arts and crafts handcrafted by individuals on site. Each area is different and has one of a kind items for sale.
Also you can sign up for classes for certain items. The center is made up of stores in one container location for ease in getting around the area and seeing all it has to offer.
The first Saturday of the month, outside "vendors" are allowed to come and sell their handcrafted items. Only items hand made are allowed which keeps this from being a "garage/junk" sale.
If you are in the San Angelo area definately make this a must see spot, especially if you like different hand crafted items.
