Get to Know Us

💕 A Mother-Daughter Story

The Old Pioneer Flea Market began with a simple question:  
“If not now, when?”

We’re a mother and daughter who have always shared a love for vintage treasures, timeless stories, and the thrill of finding something forgotten and beautiful. When my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, we decided to stop waiting and start building the dream we talked about for years.

That dream became The Old Pioneer Flea Market — a place filled with heart, history, and hometown spirit.

🛍️ Built With Passion

We opened our doors with the goal of creating more than just a place to shop. We wanted to build a community where:

- Vendors could showcase their creativity and collections  
- Shoppers could take a nostalgic walk through the past  
- Families could make memories together

With over 140 vendors and 15,000 square feet of unique finds, there’s always something to explore — from antique furniture and glassware to handmade goods and repurposed gems.

🤝 Community-Driven

Located in Jackson, Missouri, our market is about more than transactions. It’s about connections — between people, generations, and stories. We support small businesses, local makers, and fellow lovers of all things old and wonderful.

About Bobbie Jo Cathcart
Bobbie Jo Cathcart is the heart and soul of The Old Pioneer Market. A proud mother and a fierce fighter, Bobbie Jo puts family above all else. Her journey through breast cancer has been nothing short of courageous — a battle she’s faced with grit, grace, and a deep sense of purpose. It was during this fight that the dream of opening the market took root, reminding us both that life is too short to wait for “someday.” Bobbie Jo balances a full-time job with her work at the market, where she brings her love for crafting, hunting, and thrifting into everything she touches. Her creativity, resilience, and passion for vintage treasures make her not just a co-owner, but the spirit behind our dream come true.

About Ashley Foster
Ashley Foster is the engine that keeps The Old Pioneer Market running. A devoted wife and proud momma, Ashley pours her heart into her family — and into the dream she’s building day by day. When she’s not cheering on a baseball game or unwinding with her crochet hook, you’ll almost always find her at the market (more often than at home!). As co-owner and manager, she wears every hat imaginable — social media manager, cashier, cleaner, organizer, vendor, spokesperson, greeter, therapist, security… you name it. Her passion for vintage finds and her commitment to growing the market into something special is only matched by the love she has for her family and community.
