Bowling Green Amish Community

Jerry Schwartz runs the bulk foods operation, which is the type of stock sold in larger quantities than a supermarket carries: the practical choice if you bake regularly or keep a deep pantry. Amos Eicher's grocery store covers more standard grocery items for everyday shopping. Jacob Schwartz's general store fills in around those with general merchandise, so several of the day-to-day needs can be handled in one outing.

Jerry Yoder's bakery handles baked goods. Jacob Yoder sells seasonal candy, so what is available there shifts with the time of year and may not be stocked year-round. Albert Hilty operates the butcher shop for fresh and processed meat. Because the candy and parts of the community are seasonal, it is worth keeping in mind that not every shop will be open or fully stocked on a given visit.

Payment is cash. There is no card reader noted at these businesses, so plan to bring enough on hand for everything you intend to buy. Posted hours aren't listed here. Since this is a spread of individual shops rather than one building, it helps to know which ones you want before driving out, especially if you are coming any distance.
