Home cooked meals

If you are interested in visiting an Amish home, having a home cooked Amish meal, a farm tour & a buggy ride, please message or call me, after you book. This was the response from a guest that did this when I asked if she would recommend this—— Oh my goodness!!!!! Yes we would recommend this to EVERYONE!!! Anne and Roy were the BEST!!!! That was definitely the highlight of our trip. They were so cordial, very inviting, food was EXCEPTIONAL, tour was very informative and buggy ride a lot of fun. Again I would let everyone know about them! They could not have done any better!!! Jennifer
