What I Bought at 6 Amish Stores 

Really enjoying reading about all your Amish store favorites! 👍 Also getting some good ideas for future trips😎

A taste of heaven to visit any Amish community stores

Yes, the Super tonic helped you feel better. It is full of Vit. C and antioxidants, antivirals anti- a lot of stuff that makes us sick. Home/herbal remedies work!

The Super Tonic is also called "Fire Cider". I made a batch of it one time. I make mine with Ginger, Garlic, Onion, Horse radish, Cayenne pepper, and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. It takes 3 to 4 weeks to steep and it lasts a long time in pantry. I take a 1 oz shot of it each day if I feel like I am coming down with something. Nips it in the bud! I got lazy and haven't made any in a while. I need to make some this summer!

We usually make a trip a few times a year to our local Amish. We always visit the Sales & Surplus Store and pick up a few tools, etc. We visit the grocery store to pick up Peanut Butter, Apple Butter, Cinnamon Apple Jelly, spices and used food buckets for bulk storage. Food from the Bent-n-Dent Store and bakery goods from the bakery. Great cinnamon bread and cinnamon apple bread among everything else.

My German Grandma & Grandpa (born in Germany) made & canned Chow Chow every year along w/several other kinds of relishes.

You want pizza sauce with that intense tomato flavor? Try Walnut Creek pizza sauce. It tastes like they use sun dried tomatoes, soooo good. I pick that up every time I’m at Zook’s for their pot pies. New to Lancaster County & have found your videos so helpful in understanding the Amish ways & finding the great stores. Thank you for your hard work & many travels.

You do a great job with these videos thank you so much for your work keep them coming we love it!

Chocolate covered cherries, Friendship bread, fresh donuts and eggs.

Enjoy viewing your posts. I was in Shippsawana yesterday and stopped by an Amish honey store. I am a violinmaker and was looking for propolis, which he did not have until later in the fall. had a nice conversation with the owner. Also bought a block of bees wax, which I use to make a polish for instruments. He was interested in making a furniture wax polish to sell and we had a nice discussion about how to mix different waxes in turpentine to get different qualities in a wax product. He took my contact infor to let me know when he will have some propolis available.

03:31 wow, I just got a book with history of Clark County, KY. which looks very close to the whited out county on this map. Will have to research

Black licorice, kitchen ware and lamp oil from the Pioneer Place in Smyrna, Maine. Fresh vegetables, home made fudge and cookies from the farm stand next door.

Sorghum syrup is a good purchase from the Amish. They often have really nice lye soap for sale as well.

There is a wonderful Mennonite store near me. Cold cuts, sandwiches, bulk snacks like nuts, pretzels, candy. They have fresh bread, dinner rolls, pies, cakes and cookies. Some gift items, cards, decorative dish towels, books etc Also pickles, jams, canned vegetables. They are actually moving further out into the country as the building they rent in has been bought by WaWa :/ I will continue to go to them but I hope they make it!!

Top Amish store items for us: various deli cheeses, cured meats especially Lebanon balogna, if you can find it. Pecan pie at our local Amish farm stand is VERY good, far less sugar so that you can taste the pecans and crust (superb with stout coffee.)

Fresh baked goods for us. We once were talking to a lady at a roadside stand, and her daughter pulled up in a flat-bed horse-drawn wagon. The flat bed of the wagon had lots of pies. Of course we bought a few.

I like to buy local honey, elderberry products, brooms, childrens coloring and reading books, and kitchen items.

Love shopping Amish, we love fresh bread and bakery goods,plus fresh grown plants

Hoppin Frog Jam - love it. Easy to make, too. Occasionally, the stores are 'cash/check' only. So, when visiting Amish stores outside of large Amish areas, bring cash and/or a checkbook. Just a friendly FYI. As for the tonics, I see similar ads in the Budget newspaper.

We always stop at Fountain Acres Foods when we are in eastern Indiana near Fountain City north of I70. We buy a supply of deli meats, breads, and a relish mix for making a dip.

Always fun to shope the stores in Pa and Mo.

Some of the best pastries I have had was from Amish in New York.

In Washington State the Amish sell the nicest homemade butter.

We go to Berlin, Ohio and buy furniture at Dutch Crafters

I love the amish stores. When living in Ky would go 3 times a year to stock up . Corn meal, flour, spices, jams, jellies, tea. Varieties that supermarkets don't carry. Moved to Xenia Ohio in August 2021 need to find a store . When I go back to Ky I stop at The Home Place in Georgetown Ohio but would like to find one closer. I enjoy your channel. Blessings to all, stay safe and keep warm ❤

My grandmother, who was of German and Norwegian heritage, used to can chow chow every year. I haven't had any in years but loved it.

I was a nurse before I retired. I had a problem with my knee. I needed surgery. Until it got that bad, I used an Amish product called unker’s. A save that took the pain away. I couldn’t sleep from the throbbing pain. I would apply the save and the next thing I would remember was the sun shining through the window . Great stuff! The Amish sell it.

Great video, thanks!!

Pretty much anything the Amish bake is fantastic. Shoofly pie is their signature classic dessert but their fruit pies & quick breads are great too. My mom's baking & cooking dramatically changed for the best after she ordered a few Amish cookbooks. (Shoofly is like pecan pie - minus the pecans. Strange but good.)

I buy baked goods- vegetables- a sugar free candy- want to try their butter sometime.I like the oddities- coloring books- aprons- straw hats etc.

I live in Southern MD, and am about 8 min. drive from an Amish store. I especially like to buy bulk spices, baking supplies, bulk foods and candy there.

I love going to Amish/Mennonite stores.

We go to the Amish stores in Jamesport Mo .

Walker Valley Market is in my home town; we get lots of our bulk food, dry goods, canning supplies, and snacks there. Their deli is one of my favorites.

Have you ever been to the amish community around Bainbridge in Ross County, Ohio? It isn't far from Oak Hill and there is a lovely general store there called JR's. There is a bakery nearby that also sells fresh glazed donuts (we always went early on a Saturday morning to get them while they were still warm) and I grew up calling them "5 pound donuts." Not only do the donuts feel like they weigh 5 pounds, but you might gain 5 pounds by eating them. You'll never eat Krispy Kreme again. 😆

Ohhh look for some cook books 😀

Visited my 1st Amish Store near Centerville, New York. Unfortunately arrived justly before closing & brought my husband. Bought Buckwheat Goats which I ground & made Buckwheat Waffles for dinner. Also Rennet. Will be returning with a grocery list & plenty of coin. Prices are extremely economical they have many difficult to find items.

When we go to Shiloh General Store in Union Grove,NC we love to get their sandwiches and chip combos and Kutztown Orange cream soda and thier cinnamon rolls will melt in your mouth and pickle beets are my favorite.

We shopped just yesterday at the two Amish stores in the nearby Amish community (about 20 miles away). We bought eggs, cheese, bread, elderberry jelly, pancake mix, fig bars, Amish roll butter, liquid aminos, olive oil, children's story book (both stores have a lot of book and learning materials for children), shoulder roast, sweet potatoes, fresh tomatoes, cypress and pine tar soaps, potato chips. In the past we've bought our broom, fly strip, cooking utensils, metal coffee cup, hand towels, pressure socks, local apples (Missouri grown), garden plants, peppermint, chicken broth, salt, gloves, sewing items, stationary and envelopes, cookbooks, garden trellis, pizza cutter. Basically, think of these stores as a non-electronic Walmart with windows and skylights. And finally, if we could afford it, we'd buy some of their furniture that they displayed. We enjoy shopping at our Missouri Amish stores.

If I'm not mistaken, Walnut Creek also processes large Amish crops. Wheat, corn etc

I always buy their fried pies I live in Coshocton Ohio

Great video. Fresh eggs - Trail Bologna - Swiss Cheese favorites. Holmes Co. Ohio

lots of stuff

Hi Erik - re: the remedy - in Chinese medicine, ginger, onion, garlic and cayenne pepper are also used in cold/flu remedies so I'll bet there's something to it.

I like to buy jars of pears much better than the pears in regular grocery stores, shoofly pie of course, handmade cloth handbags and since I can't afford a quilt I bought a quillow (the quilt top pillow that folds out into a spread)

I haven’t been to an Amish store yet. I’m interested in the tonic, it sounds great for these days of illnesses. The hopping frog jam sounds awesome.

I like to buy vitamins, produce, kitchenware, greeting cards, office supplies, books, batteries, and decorative items. I've recently found Amish and Mennonite hardware stores as well. If I lived closer to the Amish stores I would do all of my shopping there and dispense with big box stores altogether.

Super tonic is fire cider. I make it every fall. It helps with immune strength to fend off viruses but it also helps when you are sick because the herbs in it help with symptoms like opening up your sinuses and your bronchioles. Yummy tasting and so easy to make.

I’ve never been to an Amish store but I do like to go to the community in Lawrenceburg Tn when all the vegetables are ready for harvest. Tomatoes is my favorite thing to get when we go.

Erik, I don't know if you're ever in New Jersey, since I don't think there's much of an Amish community there. But there IS a wonderful Amish Market in Kingston, Central NJ called Pennsylvania Dutch Farmers Market. It's open Thurs-Sat. I'm assuming they come in from the Lancaster area, which isn't TOO far from there. Excellent cheese selection! I highly recommend it if you're in that area.

I keep an Amish/Mennonite store shopping list on my phone. Besides baked goods such as whoppie pies, I like to buy spices, cheese curds, ring bologna, candy, and rainbow popcorn kernels.

I will have to visit an Amish Store for that Super Tonic. The Hopping Frog Jam, sounds interesting.

I always buy different kinds of cheese, lots of cheese curd, plain and flavors!

Unfortunately no Amish communities I know of where I live, but I have wanted one of their quilts for the longest time (lost the one I got when I was a teenager). Just found your channel and find your videos interesting :)

I live in Lancaster county in pa. A lot of Amish farms will have a stand or store with great prices on vegetables and fruits

I would like to try the Chow Chow, the super tonic, the maple syrups and the jams.

I like to buy pumpkin bread, pickled eggs and baked oatmeal with peaches, apples, and blueberries. I also used to get crackers and a good price but they don't seem to be available l now.

If you haven’t already, you should visit the Wheatridge Amish community in Adams County Ohio. The Miller family there has a discount grocery, a furniture store and bakery. The bakery is only open Thur-Sat. Very friendly people and the discount grocery is fairly big as is the furniture store. The bakery is full of delicious items!

I'm a big fan of Amish cheeses and flavored milks and the Banana puddings, all natural and super fresh. Home made custard style ice creams are also the very best of God's blessings here in Farmville Virginia. Miller's and Parkview are the best Amish/Mennonite stores in the area.

Crazy good price on those Almonds. My family are Blue Diamond growers here in California, and I have never seen that 1lb bag of almonds for less than about $6 on sale. Usually priced around $10. And even if they are past their expiry date, they are probably still good.

If you use a lot of maple syrup, go to the producer and buy directly. So much cheaper by the gallon. I can into pints by heating and sealing.

I love chow chow, my grandma used to make it! What a great trip!

Thank you for researching and sharing! Love the Amish way of life.... 🌻🐞🌻

I love Amish cheese, especially Butter Cheese which is Havarte. The Amish call it Butter Cheese. Nutty and good.

I'm curious to what Amish furniture store you went to in Ohio.. I bought a beautiful bedroom set, desk, dining table and chairs and a rocking chair from Amish oak. Such great quality and beautifully made.

when in Philly...I always eat at the Amish restaurant /stand at Terminal Market in downtown.

We live just south of Middlefield Ohio and love to shop the dented can stores . A lot of the furniture in our house is Amish made and in the back of Amish directory (the Yoder Pages) they have my wife's photo the customer from hell she is tighter than they are .

I enjoy the bulk grocery stores and the discount (scratch and dent) stores! I went on a day long trip visiting several and drug my mom along. The most interesting find was an Amish man selling bulk quantities of fruit out of his garage. He also had a single wide trailer set up as a variety store. (This was in Pennsylvania around Somerset and Bedford counties.) I picked up pears and apples in 1/2 bushel quantities. Very fun stop.

I like to purchase cookbooks- especially old ones. I have a cookbook with the cover missing and replaced by a nice piece of vinyl that I got in an Amish store near St. Jacobs in Southern Ontario Canada.

Hey Erik, Amish stores are awesome!! I love the candy, cheese and meats from the Amish places! Walnut Creek products are very popular and they will ship to your home. As you show the products I noticed the picture in the background and I love it!! Where is Hillsboro, Ky.?

I'm not sure if they are is or Mennonite, but next time you're in Southern KY check out Sauders in Elkton KY. They have a large store. Furniture , grocery items, cooking supplies. It's really nice!

Lots of Walnut Creek products been in my kitchen! We have our own discount grocery

Amish grocery only half mile from my home also carries the Walnut Creek brand. Once you’ve had their cream of chicken soup, you can’t go back. They also have Kirkland brand foods and my niece told me that is the Costco brand. Thanks for taking us along for your ride!

There is a little Amish store between New Danville Pa and Conestoga Pa called Grannies. I buy a bottle of very plane wash ditergent for my clothes for five bucks about once every two months. Grannies also has some very good French bread which I also buy. Nice place.

Really enjoy going to Amish Shops. Good deals at the bent and dent. Ever consider a video on the Amish White gas lanterns?

I can confirm that there are a lot of Amish in and around Danville, Ohio.

Very nice! When I go up to New York for a visit I've got to always hit the Conewango cheese factory or as they call it now the Valley View Cheese Co. Inc. for my fix of fresh cheese curd and other things. Down here I sometime head over to Yoders country market in Bulls Gap, TN which is only a 30 minute drive from the house to grab a few things and they"ve got a great Deli shop in there also.

I look for laundry items. Hanging devices with attached metal clothes pins. Found a wooden frame with nine lines to hang clothes on in a house. Would love to find a manual half size Lehman type washing for a mini apartment.

I always look for local honey and jams and preserves. Chow chow and pickled items are another can’t miss items to pickup. We always enjoy looking at handcrafted items when we see them. Thank you for the wonderful videos.

I buy rye flour at my favorite Amish store.

Hi Eric if you make it out to Seymour Mo visit J and A Country store. It's a good little place.

FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where can you purchase the Super Tonic? Your videos are so interesting; thanks!

Love Amish cheese also bought a faceless doll to hat the Amish children play with

Super Tonic works wonders! The one I take does not have a good taste, but works great!

Maple syrup sounds good.

👍👍

Are used to live in Maryland and visit up in new Holland PA all the time and I can’t get shoofly pie in Ohio

fire cider

I buy their lunch meat, cheeses, eggs, pickled veggies

Amish butter is the best you will ever eat

I miss the Amish stores in KY. We use to travel by RV from Arizona in the summer (son lives there) annually until COVID. Cave city area was real nice! We could watch Amish bake in front of our eyes at one of those places! Soooo 😋 yummy 😋

We only have a Mennonite store in our area.... they carry the Walnut Creek deli products and sell a lot of them so they are super fresh. I like to buy bags of hominy in the dry form which I can at home. A good savings from buying at Walmart.

Love to shop Amish stores in Indiana. I frequent one in Freedom, IN for spices.

Only sensible things! Wise people, they dont overdo with resurses.

Erik..Can't wait to explore the Amish stores ...I like the idea of a directory...That maple syrup you purchased I bet will be delicious..

I typically make a beeline for the crafts section because the prices are so much better than box stores. I also typically browse jellies/jams, cheese (Amish Butter cheese is the best for grilled cheese, I promise), and baked goods.

Flour sugar other spices.

There is an Amish store near me in Homer Georgia I love the homemade jam, candy and chow chow I love the store

Amish store west of Paris, TN. I buy several items on a regular basis. Great lunch time deli sandwiches as well.
