Amish Country

Enjoy a traditional Amish family-style meal, served at the home of one of our Amish neighbors. We work with an Amish family who has a catering license. They prepare the food, a menu of delicious, hearty, authentic Amish favorites. They have the fully licensed, inspected, and ServSafe certified kitchen, but they don’t have the space to host the meal. So, we work with another Amish family to host the meal. They have the room for hosting guests, but not the commercial kitchen. Combining the expertise of these two Amish families, we are able to offer a guided tour in our 14 passenger mini bus, which culminates with the wonderful PA Dutch meal, cooked and served by Amish at their home. The whole experience takes 2.5 hours. The tour departs from the Amish Experience at 4:30pm sharp. We do an hour of farmland touring, making a quick stop at an Amish road-side quilt or craft shop, and then arrive at the farm for the meal at 5:30pm. You return to the Amish Experience at around 7:00pm.
