Gad Zooks there are a lot of Zooks in the two Amish farmer's markets in my area. Jacob and Mary Zook own and operate the Dutch Country Bakery.
Everything is baked right on the premises and the aromas help to fill the air with sweets coming right out of the ovens. Mainly run by the Amish folks, they do hire help as I marveled at the gal with the Steeler's tee shirt on while she was making homemade cinnamon rolls, so I had to buy some of those.
This area of the market is huge and I do mean filled to capacity with made from scratch whole of half cakes, cream, custard or fruit pies, breads, rolls, sticky buns, tarts, cobblers, whoopie pies, muffins, apple dumplings, cupcakes, cookies and of course shoofly pie.
I know some of you who pay an arm and a leg for a cupcake, but here they are very reasonably priced and just as good and as fancy as the ones you pay top dollar for.
I bought a half of a black forest cake, a half pumpkin cheesecake with a sour cream topping, both were so delicious, a few loaves of bread, two packages of freshly baked sandwich rolls, a few whoopie pies and a pumpkin roll, love pumpkin and this roll was filled to the brim with lots of cream cheese filling.
I hate to bake, they love to bake and they do it so well. We have very few good bakeries nearby so it is a real pleasure knowing that I have the Dutch Country Bakery close enough for me to stock up the fridge, freezer, pantry and yes it will eventually be stored on our bodies. Oh well what a sweet way to do it. read more
