“Growing up around Amish farmland, I enjoyed the opportunity to witness firsthand their love of family, of the domestic arts – sewing, quilting, cooking, baking – as well as seeing them live out their tradition of faith in such a unique way.”
Beverly Lewis
When digging into an authentic Amish meal, you’ll find that most of the ingredients in the recipe are local, and that flavor shines through. Comfort food the whole family loves.
Well-loved recipes that are passed down from each generation to the next. You don’t have to have a barn-raising to enjoy the delicious meals from life on the farm.
Instead of looking for Amish dishes on Pinterest individually, I’ve put together some different types of recipes to drool over.
