What Are The Best Amish Destinations In Pennsylvania?
There is no better place to experience Amish and Penn Dutch culture than in the Keystone State, and Shady Maple's delicious buffet and farmers' market are just the start.
- Green Dragon Farmers Market, located in Ephrata, is the definition of a traditional country market. Located both inside and outside, it features a large variety of vendors selling fresh-baked goods, canned and preserved jams, jellies and pickled vegetables, and meat and dairy that come right from the farm. You're also likely to see countless hand-crafted goods and furnishings to give your home a charming Penn Dutch touch.
- Peaceful Valley Amish Furniture, found in several locations across the Lancaster area, is the perfect place to go when you want to support small businesses. This home furnishings store specializes in hand-crafted goods - and you can see the difference in the traditional wood furniture. Seasonal decor always ensures new finds here, and every carved item is made out of a specific type of wood that will be identified. There are even traditional wooden toys for sale.
- Old Windmill Farm is the spot you want to go if you want a closer taste of the Amish farm experience, and this charming Ronks destination is open for fascinating hands-on tours - and we mean really hands-on! In addition to hayrides, you get the chance to participate in daily farm activities. This can include learning how to make butter and bread the old-fashioned way, and the part of farm life everyone looks forward to - feeding baby animals!
- McClure's Bakery, found in the tiny town of Gap, looks like a warehouse from the exterior - but you'll be hit with delicious aromas the second you open the door. This just might be the best bakery in Pennsylvania, with an amazing assortment of breads, pastries, pies, and, of course, a wide assortment of the beloved whoopie pies - cream-filled mini-cakes that are perfect for snacking on the minute you leave.
