Announcement from Will Farmer
Farmer Auctions announced today it is being acquired by Jarrod Hines of Entrusted Auctions in Radford, Virginia. Farmer Auctions is a leading regional fine art and antique auction gallery with over 35 years of serving clients in Southwest Virginia and beyond. The effective date of the agreement is July 31st, 2016 with Will Farmer staying on as a consultant and Auctioneer during the transition period. This is a bittersweet time for our family as we pass on the legacy that was started by our family over 35 years ago. I have truly enjoyed the opportunity to grow our business over the past three years in Salem and feel this is the right time to move on. I have full faith that Jarrod will lead the business with integrity and passion as he serves our client’s needs. Read on to learn more about this exciting transition.
