I will add pictures next time I go.

Navigating the aisles can be bumper to bumper and checking out involves a little of "name that price" but the value here is exceptional and, I'll say it again, so is the freshness. If only Whole Foods will do, this plywood and baling wire hideaway probably isn't your jam but for me, I like getting change back from my hundred. A very functional five stars.

All the food and products are from the Amish people. Everyone is so friendly and the service is fast and efficient. My mom ordered a strawberry milkshake. She said it was one of the best milkshakes she ever had. They put a bunch of fresh strawberries inside and she said it wasn't too sweet but just perfect. My husband ordered a cookies and cream milkshake. He also said it was made really well and was not too sweet. Just a clean creamy cookie flavor. Of course we had to try the doughnuts. I ordered an apple and a chocolate with sprinkles. The apple was really good! It was freshly baked, and the filling was delicious and had a nice cinnamon flavor. The chocolate was also very good! They are big donuts too! 2 for $5. Now to the delicious soft pretzels! They are freshly baked, soft, buttery, and delicious!!! You can also get them in garlic, cinnamon, and sour cream and onion. They have pretzel dogs too. Fresh fudge anyone? They have a large variety of fudge treats. They have fresh meats, jewelry, furniture, and other items for sale as well. I wished we had more time to explore and try more things. They are only open on Thursdays and Saturdays until 3:00 PM.

My wife and I…read morevisited the market after learning about it from a "welcome packet" we received after moving into the area. They have something for pretty much everyone - baked goods (donuts, cakes, pies, bread), cheese, pickles, produce, fresh meat, home furnishings. It's surprising how much they can squeeze into the space they have and not feel like it's crowded. There's also tables, cafeteria style, if you choose to eat there. If you visit their website, they offer coupons (e.g., $1 off brownies, free pretzel w/ purchase of a milkshake, etc.) you can print out. Normally, it is only open Thursday through Saturday. During certain holidays they do open other days of the week. For Christmas week, they're open Monday through Wednesday since they're closed on December 25th and 26th. For New Year's week, they're open Wednesday since they're closed on Thursday (New Year's Day).

I wasn't too sure about coming here since it's an hour away from us that it would be open, but sure enough, I called and it was until 7PM that day! I loaded up the car with lunch and snacks and headed to the greatest little farm you could ever imagine! This is a very intimate, family run farm that is off of a little dirt driveway. Drive slow or you could easily miss it! Parking is minimal, but free. There's no rides or attractions here; just a place to sit on the bench and feed the farm animals. If that's all you desire, then this is the place for you! My son has sensory issues, so coming here was one of the greatest day trips we've experienced to date. He was completely dressed from head to toe as a fireman, but that didn't stop him from running back and forth to feed the chickens, turkeys and the goats. The pigs were too busy snoozing, and the bunnies were hiding, so we didn't get to enjoy them this visit. I was told to bring quarters and I'm so glad we did. It was small enough for him to feel comfortable to get up close and personal to the animals, and for us to practice "gentle hands". My heart burst when the chickens were crowding around him, and he said, "Don't cry; I'm coming!" while cupping his little hands with feed. I wish we were closer; we'd come every weekend. We had the place to ourselves for about a half hour before another family came. This place thrives on the honor system, whereas you must bring exact change to purchase eggs, butters, maple syrup, honey, and even little toys. I dropped $20 easily with two dozen farm fresh eggs ($6 a dozen) and a jar of maple pumpkin butter that is to die for! My husband even bought a little toy chicken for his desk to have as a keepsake for this wonderful visit. I don't want to share this place with other people because it means so much to us now! Can't wait to come back!

They also sell firewood, honey, jam and fresh eggs and berries when they're in season. Can't wait to stop back here again.

The small sugar pumpkins were only $2 each so I maybe went a little nutso but I was feeling the almost Halloween pressure. I also got a few sweet potatoes and a couple acorn squash. The sweet potatoes made for a delicious dinner tonight and I am sure the acorn squash will be just as delish. They had a few fall decorations, some bottled honey and apple cider, etc. A little bit of all the fall things. I'll need to remember to make a stop again the next time I am making my way down this path!
