That describes the beauty of Amish made Furniture. The recent Hardwood Furniture Builders’ Guild of Holmes County, Ohio showcased dozens of Amish builders with new ideas for furniture. There are more than 400 Amish woodworkers in Ohio building different parts of the chairs, tables, cabinets, cedar chests, hall seats, desks, etc. or the whole item. We were fortunate to see so many of them at the show. We hope to bring samples to our showroom floors for your enjoyment. You’ll need to come in person to see. No cameras allowed on the showroom floor.Snow on the ground, barely 30 degrees, hot chocolate to warm us, friendly builders anxious to share the beauty of their work; traditional styles, plus new contemporary ones; delicious lunch; a very enjoyable trip.
Being winter time, the streets weren’t crowded with tourists. That made it easier to travel up and down the back roads to visit the builders who were unable to participate in the show.
Of course a meal at Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen is a must every time we return to Holmes County. Fresh homemade bread with Amish peanut butter or apple butter is always on the table. Oh! Dessert is never passed up. Fresh homemade pies…ahh, Amish. From state route 39, turn north on county road 77, about five miles of up and down, and you’ll be there. Watch out for the buggies!
Remember, wood is green and the furniture is made here in the USA. Ahhh…Amish.
