8 Great Shopping Spots in Amish Country

Pies and other sweet fall flavors from Amish Country are surely one of the reasons that travelers visit Holmes, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties as summer turns to autumn. These locally loved shops are another one, thanks to their mix of Amish-made goods, stylish boutiques, vintage finds and handcrafted gifts. From the iconic Lehman’s in Kidron, known for its nonelectric goods, to the chic, modern flair of bfearless. in Walnut Creek. This roundup of standout shops across Berlin, Walnut Creek and beyond will inspire your next shopping trip to this charming rural area of Ohio. 

Blue Spruce Boutique • Wooster
In 2016, mother-daughter duo Michelle Ventling and Kinsey Workman combined forces to open Blue Spruce Boutique, a lifestyle shop in downtown Wooster that offers artfully curated products ranging from clothing and stationery to kitchen items and children’s gifts. “I love merchandising and telling a story through that. That is a true passion of mine,” Workman says. “We wanted to create that calm experience and environment when [people] walk in the store.” Situated on East Liberty Street, Blue Spruce Boutique stocks hats that lets locals show their Wooster pride and other Ohio-themed clothing. You’ll find a little bit of everything here, though, which makes it perfect for gift-giving inspiration. 116 E. Liberty St., Wooster 44691, 330/601-0100, bluespruce.boutique

Lehman’s • Kidron 
Lehman’s has sold items that don’t require electricity since the late Jay Lehman opened the place in 1955 to serve members of the local Amish community who sought appliances and oil lamps. The store has kept those products over the years and still serves the Amish community, but it’s also grown into a destination for homesteaders, as well as those simply looking for gifts like Amish-made baskets, toys for kids, handmade stoneware and locally crafted soaps. What started as a general store has expanded far beyond its original footprint to cover 40,000 square feet, providing a fun and insightful shopping experience. 4779 Kidron Rd., Dalton 44618 (GPS directions), 800/438-5346, lehmans.com

Journey in Time • Orrville
Covering 25,000 square feet, Journey in Time in Orrville goes beyond the typical antique mall. Finds range from furniture and home decor to garden items, candles and gifts, with the store sprinkling in unique and modern items to create an eclectic mix of both old and new. Owner René Mack opened the store in 2014 as a small portion of a larger storefront on Wadsworth Road, but today, Journey in Time has the space to create inviting seasonal vignettes that show customers how the items it stocks can be used. Whether it’s a fully set kitchen table or a group of chairs arranged for a summer party, the approach helps shoppers imagine the items in their own space. 1314 Wadsworth Rd., Orrville 44667, 330/464-0099, facebook.com/journeyintime

Andrea’s Schnuck Store • Berlin
Named after the Pennsylvania Dutch word meaning “cute” or “adorable,” Andrea’s Schnuck Store has been in Berlin since 1997. Owner Andrea Mast’s grandparents owned an Amish bakery, and she would spend summers there. That inspired her passion for launching a business of her own. “Probably one of the biggest compliments as a business owner is having someone purchase something and then be a returning customer,” she says. Over the years, the shop has evolved into a boutique known for its relaxed atmosphere and assortment of unique garden items, including garden flags, as well as women’s fashion, accessories, personal care items and in-house-printed graphic T-shirts. 4892 W. Main St., Berlin 44610, 330/893-4135, andreasschnuckstore.com

Originally home of the Village Gift Barn, which opened in 2000, Sheiyah Market as it exists today launched in 2020. Stylized vignettes help shoppers picture items in their own homes, and Sheiyah Market’s broad selection ranges from toddler toys to teen gifts. The Sheiyah Style Boutique carries casual-chic clothing and name brands, while Country Gatherings stocks vintage and modern farmhouse decor. The Gardens offer a lush indoor garden center filled with plants, pottery, outdoor decor and charming floral accessories. (Outside the greenhouse, you’ll also find a wide range of plants.)
