Amish in NC

The Tar Heel state has never attracted much Amish settlement, but for the past quarter-century one small Amish community has existed near the town of Union Grove, about a half-hour outside Winston-Salem.

NC Amish are active in woodworking and a variety of other trades

Amish in this community belong to a New Order affiliation.  Though they dress plain, speak Pennsylvania Dutch, and use buggies, they also permit a higher level of technology than most Amish, making extensive use of tractors as well as having electricity in the home.  Amish at Union Grove operate a number of stores and businesses, including a pair of general stores, furniture makers, greenhouses, and more.  Read more on Amish in NC.

Appeal of PA Dutch craftsmanship

Amish furniture has come to be in high demand in both NC and across North America, for a number of reasons:

• Craftsmanship -Amish craftsmanship is generally considered top-notch.  Amish learn woodworking and other trades early, and often have many years of experience by the time they open their own furniture workshops.
• Quality materials -Solid hardwoods are commonly used in Amish furniture shops.  Softwoods are  used as well.  Amish furniture is typically advertised as being free of veneer, pressed wood, and particle board.  Amish have also developed a wide range of quality finishes to give furniture added protection and sheen.  The durability of Amish furniture helps to earn it the “heirloom quality” label, as it is described by many retailers.
• Diverse styles -Amish furniture isn’t just plain and simple.  Amish create furniture in a wide range of styles, including contemporary designs, and do custom work as well.
• Variety -Amish craft furniture for every room of the home, as well as outdoor furniture.
• “Amish appeal” -In a world of mass production and big corporations, buyers appreciate the chance to patronize and support a small family business.  Amish themselves are well-regarded and their products perceived as high-quality and natural.

 Wood

Amish furniture is made using a variety of woods, both hardwoods and softwoods:

• Oak
• Walnut
• Maple
• Cherry
• Black Walnut
• Quarter-Sawn White Oak
• Hickory
• Cedar
• Ash
• Elm
• Poplar
• Pine

Furniture Styles

Amish furniture makers also do a lot of custom work, crafting pieces to the specifications of the client.  Custom work allows buyers to select the type of wood, style, as well as the kind of finish.  Due to often-high demand, custom orders of Amish furniture often take a few weeks to a few months, or even more, to fulfill.

Finding Amish Furniture in the Tar Heel State

NC Amish furniture shoppers have several options for finding Amish woodcraft.  Though NC’s only Amish community, at Union Grove, is small, there are a number of Amish craftsmen creating both indoor and outdoor furniture pieces, as well as outdoor structures such as sheds and gazebos.  Union Grove is reachable within a fairly easy drive from many major NC cities, including Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte, and Winston-Salem.  Not all Amish sell their furniture retail, so check to be sure a given business is able to sell to the public before traveling long distances.  A more convenient option for most furniture shoppers is to visit a North Carolina Amish furniture outlet, of which there are around 1 dozen across the Tar Heel State.  NC Amish furniture stores allow you to browse for your particular piece, often in a comfortable and convenient showroom setting.  Additionally, some Amish furniture retailers can arrange custom work through Amish craftsmen.
