Trip to new Amish Market in Westtown, Chester County, Pennsylvania

When our children were young, we lived in a stone home built in 1758 in Westtown, Chester County, Pennsylvania, which is less than an hour from Center City, Philadelphia. The county is similar to Lancaster County with rolling hills, small towns, and fertile farmland. Many Amish live tucked away in the countryside alongside their English neighbors.

Our second son lives only a couple miles from where he was raised and he and his wife have a lovely property where they're raising their two young daughters.

While visiting this past week-end, we shopped at an amazing Amish grocery store, located at Routes 202 and 926 in Westtown. Normally, I won't buy store desserts, since they're usually disappointing, but oh my! The fresh donuts were the best ever! The crumb cakes had more crumb topping than cake! and the tea biscuits were packed with fresh raisins. The building used to be a regular market, so there is  large square-footage and Amish people run their own stands. I'll post some pictures.

    From time to time I like to post articles or short stories for your information about the life of a writer.  I've only been writing professionally for about six years. Before that, I've owned and operated a large country inn in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, worked in a bank, owned an antique shop, and raised five kids and now enjoying eight grandchildren.
    I am a Christian and my writings are from that perspective. You will not read profane language or smut. I just write from the heart and always have happy endings! Blessings.
