Finding Amish stores and products
From modest roadside stand selling canned goods to vast retail showrooms harboring acres of Amish-made household furniture, Amish products can be found in a wide variety of venues. You may have encountered an Amish product while on vacation in an Amish community. You may have purchased furniture, quilts or other Amish-made goods online. You may be searching for businesses in a specific community, or the nearest provider of a certain good to your home.
As you travel in Amish communities, you’re sure to notice roadside signs pointing the way down long farm lanes to workshops, retail stores and bakeries often housed adjacent to the Amish home. Others will refrain from visiting Amish settlements, instead searching for Amish business signs pointing the way to venues selling Amish products online.
Shops in Amish Country
Geographically-ordered listings in the guides included here (organized by state) are meant to make locating a seller of Amish products fast and easy. The businesses listed here are both Amish-owned (noted when known) and non-Amish dealers of Amish products. Addresses, phone numbers, and websites, when relevant, are provided.
Some Amish companies may have a web presence thanks to cooperation with English partners, or may rely on an English-owned website to retail their goods. The non-Amish companies listed in these directories typically maintain close relationships with Amish manufacturers, allowing them to cooperate to produce goods in response to changing tastes.
Amish quiltmakers for example create quilts in both traditional styles, but also in more modern designs, as well as related products that have become popular among English customers, such as quillows or patchwork bags. An Amish furniture craftsman can design a new line of furniture in response to feedback given directly to him by customers, or if he is a wholesaler, channeled via a non-Amish retailer with whom he works.
In this manner Amish companies not only craft products aligned with Amish tradition, but also adapt to satisfy demands of their often highly non-Amish clientele. Interestingly, even those businesses which may seem to be strictly Amish-oriented in fact do a fair share of work for non-Amish. For example, an Amish buggy shop may also do some restoration of turn-of-the-century era cars (a time when the “horseless carriage” wasn’t so drastically different in design from today’s Amish buggy). Harness shops may do work for English horse owners, and horse-drawn equipment makers produce implements both for Plain farmers and English hobby farming enthusiasts.
Amish Businesses across America
The landscape of Amish occupations looks markedly different than it did for Amish forefathers of the 18th and 19th centuries. While agriculture remains a mainstay in many Amish communities, today thousands of Amish households provide a number of goods and services via home-based businesses. Amish business is a relatively recent phenomenon with roots in the mid-20th century, developing a full head of steam through the 1990s and into the 21st century.
Cottage businesses such as this bookstore support a growing Amish population
Home enterprises have filled a gap which has arisen due to high land prices and large families pricing many Amish out of the market for traditional dairy farming. New generations of Amish business owners who, unlike their predecessors, never grew up on a farm, are founding businesses and taking over family firms in what is becoming for some a generational family tradition of entrepreneurship.
An Amish business may be as unassuming as an Amish housewife crafting candles in spare moments between taking care of household and children, to large Amish mini-factories employing dozens of workers and dedicated marketing and sales teams.
Most Amish businesses lie somewhere in the middle, existing as a small-scale means of providing a living for a single household. Amish businesses may be owned and operated by males, females, or both in husband-wife partnerships. Most commonly Amish men steer enterprises which employ family or neighbors in a locally-oriented environment.
Hershberger’s of Holmes County, Ohio is one of many thriving Amish bakeries
Common among Amish companies are businesses in the woodworking, construction, and manufacturing sectors. Market stands thrive in the Mid-Atlantic region, typically operated by Pennsylvania Amish in and around large metropolitan areas of Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Jersey and beyond. Crafts remain a strong sector for Amish females, with Amish women doing skilled craft work such as clothes making or quilting in their spare time and in some cases operating full-fledged full-time companies.
Some Amish businesspeople operate in more obscure fields as well. Taxidermists, house movers, electricians (yes, electricians), accountants, health store owners, bookbinders, beekeepers and casket makers are all among the less-common enterprises occasionally seen on the Amish landscape. Though they restrict formal education, Amish have shown a knack for entrepreneurship often coming up with creative ideas for business ventures.
When you buy Amish-made products and services, you are helping to support Amish families who have adapted to a new entrepreneurial tradition likely to persist for generations to come. Likewise, many Amish-made products will last for generations themselves, offering value for decades to come.

How to become amish
How do you become Amish were do you sign up or who do you talk to?
Reply to Nicole, how to become Amish
Hi Nicole,
I thought I would try and answer your question about how to become Amish. You might want to do some research first as their are many Amish sects. All Amish are Anabaptist Christians who emphasize adult baptism. However some Amish sects are more conservative than others. For example, the ‘Old Order Amish’ settlements can be very strict and giving up modern conveniences is a must. The ‘Old Order Amish’ conversion would also include instruction in Amish beliefs, strict dress code, language, and adult baptism.
If you do not wish extreme life style changes just yet, but still want to explore the possibilities, I would suggest associating with a more liberal Amish Mennonite community. Mennonites are still Anabaptist in nature as they stem from the same 16th century reform movement as the Old Order Amish.
The Amish Mennonites come in many varieties from “plain people”, to Mennonite communities whose believers dress like the general population.
Personally I think joining the Old Order Amish is not something to be taken lightly due to the significant lifestyle changes. However it is not impossible. If you wish to follow biblical teachings such as (2 Corinthians 6:14)(1 Timothy 2:8-9) and (1 Peter 3:3) you will be well on your way.
If you would like to chat further, feel free to get in touch.

Need Honest Handyman in Scottsville, Kentucky
Hello.
I’m a retired lady, and I’ve recently purchased an older mobile home in Scottsville, Kentucky.
It’s the first home that I’ve ever bought, and I did so with the intention of living here year round. Since moving to Scottsville, I’ve come to realize that the home needs a number of things attended to and repaired. So, am wondering if you could recommend an honest, trustworthy handyman, in this area, who might be able to assist me.
Any information that you could provide to me on this, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am looking for an Amish seamstress to make some modest very simple dresses for me. I currently have one in the style I wish to have made. At this time I am up near Cooperstown NY. Soon I will drive back South to Florida, so I could meet with a seamstress here or anywhere along the way. I of course would pay postage to mail finished dresses to me.
I also have room in my car if 1-3 would like to join me and go to Pinecraft by car rather tgan by bus.

Need help locating a business person not listed here
Good morning, Erik,
First, let me say what a relief and joy it is to participate on this website. I really appreciate that you made this site possible, and that you keep it going so well.
Anyway, I have been looking for years for an Amish girl or lady who, for very generous payment, would agree to sew authentic Amish clothes (of the Lancaster County more-liberal sort) and kapps for me. I did write to one girl whom I met in the Reading Terminal Market, at The Dutch Eating Place, but our correspondence didn’t go so well. If you could point me in the direction of whom and where to go to, I’d be most grateful.
Sincerely, Mette Karlsen og Spring City, PA

CanYou Connect Me Directly With An Amish Cabin/Shed Maker
How can I ask an Amish group DIRECTLY to build me a 16×18 maybe 14×18 cabin shed thing with a porch to put on my land in Western New York, near Buffalo, Arcade/Freedom, New York area and have it delivered and set up. I know there are companies that sell Amish built structures, but how can I buy directly from them? I know they are around because I see street signs with black buggies on them to help tell cars to be careful. Thanks, Leza
do the Amish use the pedal powered grindstones for sharpening tools? if so, is there a supplier they use to buy new one? i am looking for a manufacture of new ones.
thank you.
