History

Established in 2014.

Diana’s Field of Dreams book shop was established in June of 2014. DFOD is located inside the Five Points Community Farm Market. The bookstore at the farm market was previously run by volunteers and donations. In June of 2014, Diana Fields took on the lease for the space and recreated it into a for profit enterprise, that operates with the hopes of promoting reading books the old fashioned way. In addition, DFOD works at promoting creativity in the local community by selling works of art, jewelry, pottery and local music. Diana has been selling books retail and online since 1997. Previously owning and operating a bookstore in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia.
