A little off the beaten path of highway 411 is an Amish community that works hard the old fashioned way to bring farm products to market. This place has always been busy when I’ve visited so they must be doing something right. Or maybe it’s the novelty of having an Amish community in Tennessee. Either way, here you’ll find season fruits and vegetables, homemade jams, cookies, pies, soap, candles and all sort of other hand crafted items made within buggy distance of this store. On a trip there this weekend they had about 10 different kinds of peppers, for example. They periodically have animals sales, too, where you can buy calves, cows, ducks, common laying chickens and even some more rare varieties such as Araucanas that lay blue/green eggs.  The Amish here are friendly, though a little distant, which makes sense if you understand their way of life. Bring cash, as you won’t find credit card machines here. They use old fashioned cash registers. They ask that ladies please respect their modesty and avoid wearing low-cut tops or anything particularly revealing. Prices are reasonable, if a little high but you’re buying high quality, not mass-produced food. Much is grown organically, though some items are treated to control pests. Everything seemed clearly marked in that regard. In season, you can easily see the fields being worked from the parking lot. Sometimes the folks across the street have hot dogs, coffee, funnel cake and fried pies available.
