A Weekend in Amish Country
by Greg on Oct.20, 2008, under General, Travel
I got to spend this past weekend with my sisters and my sister’s husband in rural Angola, IN. On Friday we spent the day in Shipshewana, Indiana, touring the Amish country and checking out different shops. I’m not much of an antique or trinket shopper (my sisters are), but there were a few places that I really enjoyed.
The first place we stopped at was Yoder’s Meat Market (and I swear, 1 out of every two people there have the surname Yoder). I picked up some really good summer sausage, lebanon bologna, baby swiss cheese, and some crackers. Definitely made for good snacking

The other places I really liked were furniture stores. The Amish are definitely known for their custom woodwork. I didn’t buy anything at the furniture shops, but I think when I buy my new house, I’ll probably venture back out there for a dining room set.
We met up with my brother-in-law’s family that night for dinner at Das Dutchman Essenhaus, and let me tell you — this place is amazing. We did a family style meal with chicken, ham, mashed potatoes, corn, beans, homemade bread, and stuffing. I left there absolutely stuffed, and we headed back to my sister’s place to watch movies for the rest of the weekend.
