Great store to shop at. WOW Rachel. I refuse to turn my oven on to make bone broth from bones I want to keep warm over night. I saved in the freezer until it hits 35 below zero outside. You are a champ and people around you are blessed.
Absolutely love your videos! Yes, I like Amish stores as well. Live about 45 minutes from Shipshewanna, IN so I go about 4 times a year. I actually get a Facebook flyer every week from them.
We live in an area here in Southwest Missouri, and have two large communities of Amish, plus another one that just started. We live right smack dab in the middle of one large Amish community, then the other one is about 20 miles West of us. I heard recently that a third Amish community has started about 30 miles North of us. There's never a shortage on fresh cows milk, butter, cream, and buttermilk. ❤Then we have a large Mennonite community here as well, and one of them own and run about 3 different discount grocery stores. I buy about 90% of my food there, and save tons on food every month. We couldn't eat as well as we do, without our discount grocery store. I love it! I also get cases of the fruit and veggie pouches for my 2 1/2 year old grand baby. She loves those! I only go to Walmart about every 6 months, or have my daughter pick up a few things for me every month.
Hubs and I will be traveling to PA this fall to scope out the state for a retirement move. Can't wait to check out Lancaster county and visit as many Amish stores and farmer's markets as possible. We're from TX so no big Amish communities around here. Learning about and experiencing their culture is on my bucket list.
WHAT?! I've been going to the wrong store? Haha! My husband and I have taken a couple of trips up from Grand Rapids, and I thought you were going to Whispering Pines, just west of Fremont! It was the only Amish store I found on Maps in the area. Even funnier, we always go back via Newaygo and get lunch at Brewworks outside of Fremont (and then run by Bird's to see what kind of meat deals we can find), so we must have driven right by this store and never even noticed. Ah well.....just another fun place to stop at next time!

Been pretty slim pickins last several weeks. I was there twice last week, once with my Daughter and once with my Son, it would've been cool to run into you and Todd!
Love it when you go shopping at the Amish stores as we don’t have them in Australia. Would you be able to share your low carb eating meals etc Rachel? I’d really appreciate some new ideas ♥️
We shop in Clare. I just bought some soap, scented wax melts, corn meal, raw honey and trail mix. I so badly want a quilt but I can't afford them. The cheapest is $700 How did you like the Keto microwave treats?
Absolutely love ours, I get all my spices and most dry goods there as well as canning supplies. They also get cases of meats from several Amish communities in PA that are shipped to their local store here in ETN. Well stocked on chicken breasts and thighs, apple maple grillers and bacon. Now they are taking orders for Michigan blueberries and PA peaches and apples.
Rachel, I loved your haul. I totally understand about not caring for the expiration date, but when it comes to the grand-kids, that's a different story! Where did you get the shirt? I NEED it.
Please video your cheese making. I’ve done it. Animal rennet works the best. I keep mine in the freezer. You’ll need citric acid to trigger the curdling. Meijers should have it by their canning supplies. There’s 2 alchemy points in cheese making. Having firm cuttible curds. And heating it and stretching it to get to get it like cheese. Then you can buy cultures to flavor it some. You have Pickle Crisp (calcium chloride). You can sometimes use that to firm up too soft a milky curds. But if you use too much it comes out dry like farmers cheese and doesn’t stretch. Noreen’s Kitchen and Gavin Webber have videos on cheese making. Store whole milk works quite well too. Cheese making is somewhat of an art.
Love shopping at our local Amish store. Also adding chocolate pudding mix and chocolate chips to amish bread is delicious. The chocolate makes the bread more of a dessert.
Off topic correcting my comment about the weeds. No weeds because hubby heavy mulch of chopped oak and maple leave in the fall. Removed to plant our potatoes then covered using same mulch. No weeds. Sandy packed soil so converted to no dig in our established garden. Thanks for bringing us along.
I love going shopping at the Amish store. Favorite thing to buy is spices at deep discount prices. I did want to say Rachel I know you are very health conscious so you might want to research more on how Splenda is made. It's something they take out and what they replace it with that concerns me. I won't buy it or recommend it for anyone.
Hi Rachel and Todd. I just love watching and learning from you both. I used to have a recipe for Amish Friendship Bread, unfortunately, I don't anymore. Could you please share your recipe so I can make it again? Thank you so much. ❤ from 🇨🇦
I'm a new subscriber and I love Amish discount stores but they are 2-2 1/2 hrs one way from where I live in the mtns of Virginia, so I don't get to go there too often 😔😢. But you got a really nice haul there ❤🫂
As much as you love from scratch cooking I just wanted to share that they sell self fillable pouches like that and are reusable. I am making plans now to make my grandbaby food so I ran across those in research.
What is the difference between regular molasses and blackstrap molasses? I've heard/read that blackstrap is not the better choice. I don't remember why - if it was too strong/intense or what. Don't remember if it was used for that person's baking or to make brown sugar. Thanks for the fun shopping trip. Wish I had an Amish store close by.
Amish stores near me offer re-packaged flours, sugars, etc. Where are the grains, sugars, etc you purchase from your MI stores sourced? Looking for sources of better ingredients. Thank you.
The beauty of living in Lancaster Co, PA. Many Amish discount stores. My husband runs a fairly large one.
Nice! What are your favorites? We are 2 hours away and want to camp in the area soon. We went for shady maple recently.
@@nicholemalloy4694 nice! About 15 min from Shady going towards Morgantown, there’s a store called BB’s !
Great store to shop at. WOW Rachel. I refuse to turn my oven on to make bone broth from bones I want to keep warm over night. I saved in the freezer until it hits 35 below zero outside. You are a champ and people around you are blessed.
Me either, oven off until further notice. Heat index at 107 here right now.
Yep try to freeze what I can to heat and can in the winter
Several of my family members live near the Amish so when I visit the family... I visit the stores as well. Win win! Nice haul! Blessings Kiddos!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕

Great haul! There aren't any stores like that within easy distance, but I like window shopping through your videos. :)
Thank you! I love my Amish store.

I’m coming to Michigan with some friends in a few weeks and can’t wait to hit up the Amish stores! They’ve been the latest few times they went!
Been pretty slim pickins last several weeks. I was there twice last week, once with my Daughter and once with my Son, it would've been cool to run into you and Todd!
Wish I had a store like that near me. I appreciate you showing us what you found.
I love going to Pineview Discount Grocery store in Mcbain Michigan. It’s also an Amish grocery store and looks very similar to Brookside.

Amish grocery stores are amazing! We had Detwiler’s in Sarasota and boy do I miss that place!
There is one in Ellington also. Did you move away from Sarasota?
Rachel, I loved your haul. I totally understand about not caring for the expiration date, but when it comes to the grand-kids, that's a different story! Where did you get the shirt? I NEED it.
Lol I saw the basket and my first thought was "That's not going to be big enough, where's the cart??!!" 😂
Love the shirt, too funny.
Very pleasant to watch and I love a good discount haul!❤

It takes me forever to go through that spice isle, that's my favorite part of the store!!! ❤️
I LOVE your shirt lol!! Great haul! We have a discount Amish store about 15-ish minutes from me, I need to get over there!!
We have an Amish bulk store and an Amish discount store (bent and dent) we love them great buys

Pistachio jello is super delicious in Amish friendship bread…
Such a deal--wish I were closer. Thanks for sharing.
We have an Amish/Mennonite community in Sarasota FL near us- would love a discount grocery like yours!
We have an Amish discount market in Harrison, Arkansas. We go twice a year.

Do you ever try the soup bases??I live on them!

Thank you for sharing! I recently discovered a Facebook group that helps people locate Amish communities! Helpful!!
Love your videos ❤
Love you short. My younger brother gave me one that says worlds okayest sister. I told him I would take that. 😂
nice haul.
Haven't been in Brookside in quite a while....I'll have to take a run up there. You never know what you will find.
Hi Rachel & Todd, Enjoy your Summer 7-8-2024👍🏽👍🏽❤
I love Amish stores for the deals. But…you bake in the summer? I can’t imagine what your electric bill must be
I so wish there was an Amish store close to me. I would be a frequent shopper....
Wish they had amish community here in England would love visit one of there stores
Wish they had amish community here in England would love visit one of there stores
👍
How do you portion out the molasses? Just in jars, or do they need to be processed? I'd appreciate the help. Thank you
Just pour in quart jars, we don't process them.
Amish stores near me offer re-packaged flours, sugars, etc. Where are the grains, sugars, etc you purchase from your MI stores sourced? Looking for sources of better ingredients. Thank you.
❤
My mom gets gummy bears for her great grandkids from there.
❤❤❤
that haul would be about 250$ in Canada
Wow!
That type of rennet isn't good for making many types cheeses. I use walcoren animal rennet. That type is good for cooking.
Nice haul. The mennonite store we have has mostly high prices it seems.
Hello! Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
🌸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸
I'm thinking we make an Umish society
Those pouches, so much plastic waste!
