Rocking ER Farm Store Celebrates New Location in Attica

Congratulations to Elizabeth and Riley McCullough on the opening of Rocking ER Farm Store's new location at 8 South Main Street in Attica!


Rocking ER Farm Store was established in 2020. Elizabeth and Robby's son, Riley, rodeoed and he wanted to help pay some of his entry fees and started to sell produce in 2017. Each year they continued to grow and finally outgrew their pop-up tent. The ideas began to roll in and Rocking ER Farm Store was created that would offer a wide variety of products all-year round.


Rocking ER Farm Store is a country store with a variety of items; from home décor, candy, pet supplies, unique gifts, clothing, and more! They also have locally-made products including health and beauty products, candles and wax melts, hides, signs, tables, benches, flags, jewelry, and more. They'll be carrying locally made donuts from Lisa's Ice Cream on Wednesdays and Sundays. For more pictures of the ribbon cutting, click here.
