Vinyl. Point blank.
We believe that analog recordings pressed onto vinyl are time capsules, or historical documents if you will. Due to the fact that they are the only media that is actually physically reproducing the audio waves, vinyl is pretty darn special in our digital world.
We do have an ear for seeking out "sample" worthy albums & for most beat makers, we hold a special place with the gems.
For groovers we are here with classics and jams you just can't wait to hear on the system.
For collectors we are here with some valuable rarities and prospects, as well as albums with historical value.

Both. We take our time to ensure you are buying the specific release/variant. Some are the OG pressing others are RE. We don’t specialize in just any one version but we do clearly identify which.
Nope. Sorry.
We will offer incentives from the to time like X% off of any one used selection with a purchase of a new release, or whatever it may be.
Besides, you know our prices are fair.
We try our best to add a new stack each week. We have a lot of inventory and do our best - take a look at How We Grade page to learn a bit more of the process.
For sure, friend. Find all that info and maybe even more on our How We Grade page.
Regarding music we only sell vinyl at VinylFarm. In shop we may support local musicians by offering a few select CDs from time to time - or use CDs as give-aways, but for the most part we believe in analog and the authenticity of soul within physical reproductions of audio waves.
Well, if you haven't purchased from us at this point then then question has two answers depending on the tone in which you're reading.
We grade each album critically and conservatively - we believe in giving a lower score to the grade to ensure that we are pricing and providing an album exceeding expectations.
If you mean this question in terms of our site we use a Goldmine Standard and next to each album title you will find the media condition indicated (NM, VG, G) as well as on the product page clearly placed Media Condition & Sleeve Condition.
Visit the How Do We Grade page to learn what these monikers mean in terms of grading.
We sure can. drop us a line: info[@]VinylFarm[dot]com
For sure, without question. Please view our How We Grade page to learn more of our process.

Yes. We are a mom & pop record shop and our son helps out as a greeter.

And all of our albums are cleaned with wool from our sheep. No.
We liked the fact that we could be in service to others providing food and have kind of a food thing going.
We out here farming vinyls.
Nope. Not with each purchase. With each individual used vinyl we set aside $1 to be awarded. So if your order has 5 selections - we’ll place aside $5. Or let’s say you had an order of two used selections and one new release and a crewneck. That order would be $2 bucks raised. We count the used vinyl only.
Nope.
Well, yes & no 😇.
Used vinyl value is a liquid market in terms of value. We price based on several factors we have laid out in our How We Price section of the site.
For each used vinyl we sell we will place $1 towards our contribution. Even in-store purchases. And even if that vinyl is sold for $1. We aren’t messing around here.
Cultivate Love. Grow Your Collection.
As you know VinylFarm is about giving back. You can read more on our Cultivate Love page.
If your order's zip code is randomly selected we will make our contribution as: VinylFarm X Your Name Here. Everyone will likely cheer for you wherever you go, & if they don't - we know you got it.
So, keep doing what you love; immersing yourself in the perspective of poets and keepers of the pulse while we all work towards that goal to fill a soul with nourishment to leave them whole.
