Four must-visit shops in Ohio's Amish Country
Do you want to enjoy a day filled with shopping fun? Then head to Ohio’s Amish Country. It’s filled with charming locally owned businesses where you’ll find everything from handcrafted quilts to freshly baked donuts. Here are a few stores you don’t want to miss:
Plaid Sheep Company (4375 SR 39, Millersburg)
An Amish Country fixture since 1984, the Plaid Sheep Company is where Karen Lamp inspires crafters to bring out their creativity. The shop specializes in homespun fabrics and hand-dyed wools.
Customers make quilts, rugs, and other exciting projects, and online and in-person classes are available to help them enhance their skills.
Harvest Thrift Store (1915 State Route 39, Sugarcreek)
The Harvest Thrift Store opened to “change the world one donation at a time.” The gently used items are sold at prices that won’t break the bank.
The selection features a variety of items like clothes, housewares, and toys, and with new pieces arriving daily, there’s always something new to discover. Proceeds help support local projects and international missions.
Lehman’s (4779 Kidron Road, Kidron)
Reminiscent of an old-time mercantile, Lehman’s opened in 1955 after Jay Lehman decided to "serve the local Amish community with non-electric household goods.” Today, the store continues to help customers live a simpler life. The selection features a range of items from bakeware to hearth stoves, and with ever-changing offerings, each visit provides a fun treasure hunt.
If you shop until you drop, refuel at Lehman’s Café. Located in the center of the store, it serves salads, sandwiches, seasonable soups, and delectable desserts that are the perfect ending to every meal.
Troyer Country Market (5201 County Road 77, Millersburg)
Stretching 52,000 square feet, the Troyer Country Market features a café, sample station, and shelves stocked with thousands of goods. It’s a favorite among locals and visitors alike, and the Troyer family believes that “long-lasting relationships are formed around food and fellowship.”
Shop for baked goods, apple butter, gift baskets, and more.
