At 225 Dooley Road they have a greenhouse and new store that is full of garden plants! Strawberries 🍓 are plentiful and now we are seeing more produce types coming out of their gardens. I got a great loaf of bread from the Amish Country Store and made sandwiches 🥪 out of it this week. They have really upgraded the place since Bruce retired. Go by and see it on your way today. I should have more to tell you next week so Like and Follow my page here as well find more inside the Amish community! #amishmennonitetn
Big news! Buffalo road has Beets! Many of you have said you got some beets on Buffalo road. Others have said they are finding English Peas. The Plowboy Produce Auction has been getting tomatoes, yellow squash, cabbages, asparagus, broccoli and cauliflower, onions, lettuce, radishes, and sweet potatoes, and regular potatoes! I have personally seen some of these while out at the stands but who knows if they will have any when you arrive. The Plowboy Auction is the best way to bulk buy things if you win the bid. They open at 11am or so with bidding at 1pm sharp. The tomatoes are grown in the ground in a greenhouse or hoophouse and taste amazing. Don't sleep on these. If you were blindfolded you couldn't tell the difference between a vine ripe or one of these. See the lowboy Auction page here as they share their market reports where you can see what is actually coming from the Amish farms - https://www.facebook.com/plowboyproduceauction
Thursday-Saturday are when The Amish Country Smokehouse and The Butter Bean Cafe opens for the week. I like the Amish country smokehouse for their unique inhouse sauces and smoked meats. Kids can play outside in the large yard where you can sit out and hear the clopping sound of horse and buggies going by. The Butter Bean Cafe is a great place for steak and seafood where the locals go for a big burger and to hear stories from Ed. Al the places to eat around Ethridge are really good as the visitors come here to eat as they visit the Amish farms. Actually I live south of Lawrenceburg and drive past more popular restaurants to come to these north of town. Be sure to include them as you wonder out. The photos in the gallery is from when I visited them and took photos of their food. No AI or enhancement, you can verify the plates by matching your plate to these photos as I have complete trust that these restaurants will treat you just as good as they treat me! #amishmennonitetn
Sometimes looks can be deceiving when a home doesn’t look like they have a garden. In the photo below, their garden is behind their home and animals roam the front yard section. I pulled up and they had cabbages, asparagus, lettuce and strawberries 🍓 already. At another stand a casket maker and saw mill had boys loaded with strawberries going down to a stand where they had a lot of produce. This allows them to sell their products without having to dedicate time to run their own stand. You may even see Amish along the road selling produce. The Plowboy Auction is also today at 1pm so you can watch for what is coming out. I seen they had squash Monday so you might find more variety this week than we’ve been having! #amishmennonitetn
There are still plenty of strawberries 🍓 out there. Many of the Amish grow Chandlers variety for us English but if you can get lucky 🍀 you may just find Sweet Charlie varieties that are more sweet than tart. Ask your Amish farmer or those who set up by the roads which varieties they have. My Mennonite friend says Albion varieties are really good but I can’t seem to find them here. In the photo below, these are Sweet Charlie and my kiddo demolished them as soon as we cleaned them. Prices range between $12-14 in most places.
Just follow the signs! Many times the Amish will update their signs or add a small sign but don't park in the middle of the road to read as the locals are wanting to move on down the road. Mondays are great for taking your time and finding things. The Plowboy Auction is also today at 1pm so go out an explore! Please Like and Follow my page if you haven't already.
