    I ordered cheeses as a gift. The selection was world class, and the service beyond that. Incredible!

    I've been here quite a few times and never had a problem... They have all kinds of food items…read more.. From lunch meat to salads, pickles as well as pickled eggs and quite a bit more... They share the building with many other small stores... They have plenty of areas to park in front and in the rear... There are also plenty of Handicapped parking spaces...

    They have three kinds of potato salad. I asked what the difference was between Sadie's very yellow…read morepotato salad and the very white Philadelphia style potato salad. The young boy said Sadie's had lots of mustard and eggs in it and the Philadelphia was with herbs. Both looked very good and then I spotted a girl filling a large pan with red skin potato salad and I said "oh, I'll have that." Every regular customer shot a look at me, like are you nuts? The boy who is turning around to get the red skin salad says " Sadie's is our number one seller" and at that each customer shook their heads yes. I bought Sadie's, did I have a choice and it was very good. I do make potato salad all the time, so I rarely, if never buy it out. I make mine with a lot of cooked egg yolks only, mustard, dill and the only sweetness it gets is from the little sweet pickle relish I add to it . Sadie's is okay and it was missing the crunch of not enough onion or celery. One could easily do all of their shopping here and forget the rest of the market. Located right inside the market and to your right, it starts with a huge glass doored refrigerator with glass bottled milks, cream and non cheese dairy products. Along the first side of this Deli is a very large open cooler with many homemade cheeses, including all the ones you are familiar with and many that have different flavors blended in. The other half of this cooler is filled with so many cheese spreads and of course I have to try the unusual ones. As you round the corner there are huge barrels of various deli style pickles. These were huge pickles and one would easily fill you up. Next is a large sliced meat counter and Lebanon bologna is plentiful. They do not make deli sandwiches though and I think this is a huge mistake. Located past the cash stand and they do accept credit cards if your purchase is over twenty dollars, is a mile long glass enclosed cooler filled with homemade salads, slaw's, meals to go like barbecued pulled pork, chicken and dumplings, baked beans and ham salad. Towards the end of this cooler it is filled with homemade desserts, like chocolate eclair pudding, tapioca, rice pudding, bread pudding and oodles more. Now you do realize it is not a mile long, but with my tongue hanging out, it seemed close to it. When you first walk into the market there is a cafeteria style dining area. As we sat down to eat some of the many foods that we had bought, we witnessed so many regulars walking in knowing exactly what they wanted, returning clean glass bottles and restocking on milk products for the week, since the market is only open Thursday through Saturday. We also noticed young Amish boys, with their bowl styled haircuts take a seat in the cafeteria and not one missed the chance to bow their heads and give thanks for the food they were about to receive. Walking through this Amish Farmer's Market, you will see lots of folks who own businesses here and several of them have the last name of Stoltzfus, this one is Ben and his card simply reads Stoltzfus Country Deli, although the place itself and the web site read as headlined for this review. So this is what I bought, Crab-meat cocktail cheese spread, loaded with crab-meat and hubby claimed it, which is fine because it was a bit too sweet for my tastes, although with a layer of that on a crisp and another heaping layer of the garlic shrimp scampi cheese spread, it was yummylicious! Love the garlic shrimp scampi spread and it had a kick to it too, even better. Hubby wanted a sandwich from here and was disappointed to find out they did not make sandwiches, but he did want cole slaw and he liked Sadie's potato salad, even though he says mine is so much better. I bought some of the chicken and dumplings and they were very good and so bothersome to make at home, especially when hubby does not like dumplings. I make a ham pot pie, which is like a chicken and dumplings, but with ham, potatoes, dumplings, onions and french style green beans. I grew up on Pa. Dutch foods and their pulled pork barbecue sauce tasted exactly like mine, which of course is very good and the pork was perfectly shredded and lean. With Pa. Dutch and Amish farmer's markets around, I see myself doing a lot less cooking, a lot more eating and to that I say Amen!

    Another shop within the Bristol Amish Market in Bristol, PA…read more The staff is authentic Amish/Mennonite, in frocks, bonnets , or beards and overalls. The meat looks fresh and thick cuts predominate. Focus is in pork, beef and a good variety of sausage ready for the hot skillet. We picked up some beautiful chops for dinner eating later this week, and some breakfast sausage which was too pretty to pass up. Prices still had the post Covid inflationary bump, but we are getting used to that. If as scrumptious as anticipated, the small increase in coin will be quickly forgotten. Besides, the road-trip out to Lancaster would cost us a lot more than the drive to the outskirts of historic river town Bristol, only 25 minutes from home.

    I'm quite lucky in the fact that I have many butchers surrounding me, including farms where they…read morespecialize in either pork, beef or poultry, but what I really love is having a butcher that has it all and has no preservatives in the meat. M & J's is one of those butchers that cuts their own meat right on the premises, makes their own sausages by hand, in house and are more than happy to fulfill special orders and to answer any questions you may have on preparation. Plus discount coupons, on line, are often offered for a select item or two. You've never seen such large, thick slices of Canadian bacon, their smoked kielbasi is some of the best and they must have two dozen varieties of loose or packed sausages, which is insanely lean compared to what I used to find in the grocery stores. The Amish have even gotten with the times and make mild to hot grillers stuffed with various things, like bell peppers, onions, garlic, jalapenos and cheese. I love their loose sage sausage for use during the holidays. They have quite a few different breakfast links, including maple, but the cinnamon apple ones are a real treat! Plenty of fresh lamb is available in the Spring, coming straight from farms in Lancaster and nothing is ever frozen here, from mid March to the Easter holiday you can have as much lamb as you can fill your fridge and freezer with, until they run out. Hubby loves leg of lamb, while I am a rib gal, but I have had them de-bone a leg of lamb which I stuffed and it was so tender and delicious. They have every cut of beef or pork that you can imagine, the steaks are thick and lean, the smoked pork chops are some of hubby's favorites and I love their stuffed pork chops which makes for a quick meal. The hams are something to remember, some of the best and their slab bacon is thick and meaty. This is one of my favorite places to buy a standing rib roast to go along with my Yorkshire pudding, French onion soup, brussels sprouts and creme brulee for our Christmas dinner. Why do we do that, why are some of our favorite meals saved for certain times of the year? Maybe it's just me, but man I need to rethink this one, cause I'm so craving that dinner now! Oh yeah, into homemade scrapple ( yuck ) they have plenty of it!
