Northeast Ohio is a great place to call home. Neighborhoods here are friendly, vibrant, and diverse in terms of the lifestyles they cater to. Particularly adventurous Clevelanders have found that one could easily make a day out of exploring different neighborhoods and towns in the area, and there is much to see both close to home and on the outermost edges of the region. For today’s virtual venture, we’re taking some scenic country roads into Ohio’s Amish Country. Bring your appetite, because the food in this community is to die for!
Prepare for a road trip, because we're heading down into the lovely Berlin Township area in Holmes County.
Berlin has a long history, and its first settlers arrived around 1820. While much of Northeast Ohio industrialized, this quaint community clung to its agricultural roots. Today, the community boasts an impressive Amish settlement and nurtures a culture of tourism.
Whether you're spending the night or just spending a day in the Berlin area, you're bound to have an incredible experience.
Imagine cozying up in your own private tree house cabin amidst the rolling hills of the Ohio countryside. While this may sound too good to be true, you can actually find these charming tree houses right in Amish Country. You can find the full article here.
Amish Country, if you haven't yet been enlightened, is home to an incredible selection of homemade goods. You'll enjoy baked goods just like grandma used to make, or you can indulge in golden goodness at nearby Heini's Cheese Chalet.

Your taste buds will adore trips to local markets and farms and a visit to Boyd and Wurthmann Restaurant alike.

And no trip to Berlin is complete without an excursion through the Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center...
In 1981, this unique cultural site opened as the Mennonite Information Center. Today, the Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center is well-known for its 10 foot by 265 foot mural. On top of offering unique views of this charming culture, this site also immerses visitors in an educational experience unlike any other.
Looking for food, jewelry, plants, decorations, or anything else for that matter? You just might find it at the Holmes County Flea Market. This is the oldest continually operating flea market in the county, and it boasts the most diverse and quality vendors in the area. You never know what you'll find in their 55,000 square foot warehouse!
