This place is packed every weekend with people from all over the country buying goods, but personally I like driving up to the Amish farms and buying from them individually (my other review details a sample of some of the many items can buy: all sorts of baked goods, veggies, crafts, furniture, you name it! ) Most of the farms are scenic and beautiful, many with long driveways, stands set up, at least one I've been to has a furniture warehouse set up in the barn with the most beautiful furniture. The Amish want you to drive up and buy from them (cash or check obviously). Many of them are as friendly as can be. I just don't know why everybody would want to cluster into this Amish country mall environment on the bland main drag when the fun is driving on the scenic back roads and up to the farms and seeing how each Amish family lives. But I admit I've only whipped in and out a couple of times so maybe there is something I am not getting; everyboy seems to be having a lot of fun. But I just love driving around to all the different farms. Ethridge is so interesting and affordable; I plan on selling my place in Nashville and moving here one day. read more
