Blueberry Bulk Foods

This week I got a call from the Amish Bulk Food store that my peaches were in.  I have always enjoyed reading about the Amish, so when we moved to this area I was very excited to find out we have a lot of Amish community's around here.  It has been so fun getting to know some of the families. I have taken a couple of ladies to rummage sales and strawberry picking, one mom and her daughters quilted one of my quilts for me.  So I headed to the Blueberry Bulk Food Store to get my peaches.  The store is only about five miles from our house. Meeting a buggy is something that happens quit a bit on certain roads around here, this is just down the road from the store.

 The store isn't very big but they have a nice variety of things.


I love all of the hats!


I like to get my spices and other bulk foods from here.  We also have a couple of Amish Green Houses in the area and a big Mennonite bulk food store about twenty miles from us.  It is so nice having access to fresh produce and foods in bulk.  It is a young couple that run this store, when I picked up the peaches she showed me her garden behind the house.  It was beautiful, three little boys were playing in the yard and a little one was sitting on the ground playing by the garden.  Would love to have taken a picture of the garden but a friend was helping her weed and the little boys were in and out of the garden, so no pictures.

One of my daughters lived in Ohio for a couple of years, and would often buy milk, and bread and bulk items from the Amish. It was fun to get to go with her when I was visiting. I really enjoyed it.

We used to buy from the food co-op years ago, and that was how I would buy bulk in days gone by. These days its Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods Market; not quite the same nor near the good deals.

I enjoyed your pictures.
Blessings,
