A roadtrip to Ohio won't be complete if we don't shop at the Amish store called the Swiss Village. It is a bulk store where you can buy pretty much everything that most made by the Amish community. One of the many things e we bought there that I love is the pudding mix with coconut, it was really good. I wish that there is an Amish community nearby so we could go there anytime but it's a long drive from where we are.
The kids love roaming around inside the store because there are food in every corner for tasting purposes. I love to get their pasta and coconut oil because they are not as expensive as the ones you find in the regular store.
Here's an example of a tasting corner. Their salsa are really good.
If you love cheese, you can try different kinds.
The cashier gave both of the kids this wooden token for them to enjoy some perks when we come back and shop. They were told that they can enjoy an ice cream cone when they visit.
Great.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool! I love shopping at places like this. I love that down home feel and real food.
ReplyDeleteThat store looks like so much fun! Stores like that are the ones that I could stroll around in for hours and hours.
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed taking my kids to our local Amish Store. It supports them and provides me with wonderful and affordable natural products.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to an amish store in ages. Seems like they still have great stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice place to visit. So many nice things to try.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely sound so cool! I want to shopping in this kind of store. Glad that you share this
ReplyDeleteAll the stuff they have in there looks interesting. I haven't been to an Amish store and that made me curious. I wish there were one near us.
ReplyDeleteI think the tasting corner are generous. It's also a good idea because you will be sure what to buy. It looks awesome there!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun time. I have been meaning to check out our local Amish town, Kolona. I bet they have some great stores to shop at!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they have a ton of great products to choose from. I would love to explore the store and buy some goodies.
ReplyDeleteWow. That will be a perfect place for me. There are great products and I love the food tasting corners!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun outing. I haven't been to the Amish country but I would love to visit one day. They live a different lifestyle and I would love to see it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had fun shopping there! It's nice to get products that are naturally made, you never know what kind of things get put into food these days.
ReplyDeleteI love Amish food! There was an Amish store/restaurant near me, but sadly, it's no longer in business. I loved that place!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really great shop. I would enjoy shopping for good there, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place to explore! I know we have an Amish Bakery and restaurant near my home and I Feel like I should visit!
ReplyDeleteWe have a similar store in the next town over. I need to remember to shop it more often.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit and see an Amish community. I only see one on TV. Anyway, it's awesome that they have a tasting corner in their store. At least you get to see first if you like the taste of something before you buy it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a place I would love to visit. My mom went up to the Amish area in Pennsylvania, and I so wish I could have gone.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd visit just for the ice cream alone and the cheese. Please dont' forget the cheese. yolonda
ReplyDeleteLook at those goodies, I wish we have a closer Amish Store here they seem to have good items...
ReplyDeleteWhat's an amish? Just wondering, though. But lo, they got awesome items in store. Plus the fact that they also offer free food tasting, the more people should visit the place! It's something I would really love to give a try. Well, if only I am just a drive away.
ReplyDeleteZwitsy, the Amish are known for simple living, plain dress, and reluctance to adopt many conveniences of modern technology.
