All of my products are made right here in Indiana and a couple in Michigan. I am offering quality homemade products, supporting several local Amish families.

• Amish-made jams in over 30 different varieties including favorites like strawberry and apple butter; in both Large (18 oz.) and small (4.5 oz) jars.
  People love the small jars because they make great gifts and allows them to try a variety of flavors in smaller sizes reducing potential waste.

  It’s chemical free and pet friendly and can be used for hand soap, body soap or for your hair.
• Amish Smokehouse beef sticks in 9 flavors and beef jerky in 6 flavors.

• Amish egg noodles.

Fun Fact:  What is Tomato Jam and do you sell that?
It's an old-fashioned recipe and yes, we even have that! Everybody that sees tomato jam says it looks like what grandma used to make; it's kind of like a tomato paste. Some people cook with it. It can be eaten on toast or spread over cream cheese and served with crackers as a dip.
