About 30 miles from where we live is an Amish
community called Clark. It is a great
place to purchase seasonal fruits and vegetables
and plants.
I really enjoyed the peaches we got here a while
back and now of course, we went to buy some apples.
If I can just get ambitious, I would make some
pies to put in the freezer or I will at least make
a couple.
The Amish homes are certainly large, similar
and very neat and tidy.
I am sure you know they do not have electricity
so firewood is used to heat and cook. The Clark Amish community
is made up of over 200 families with 5 to 9 members
in each family.
There were numerous logging businesses.
Beside the houses were their buggies and horses. We
passed quite a few on the roads too. They are friendly
and always wave but no photos please!
I have never been to their auction house but hear that
is where you can really get the bargains.
I purchased some vegetables, fruits and canned
pickles and beets at a few of the stores.
I was excited to make some Apple Pies and I always
like the recipe where you put a carton of Aspen
Mulling Spice in the pie. My Victoria magazine came
today so maybe that would go lovely with a slice
of pie.
