I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Did you know that Ohio was home to the largest population of Amish in the country? This region of northeast-central Ohio is home to an active and thriving Amish population; a welcoming community that invites guests to come and experience a slice of Amish life. And while there are numerous bakeries, local businesses, and general stores in Amish Country, nothing compares to Schrock’s Heritage Village, the largest shopping village in Ohio.
Spanning 50 acres in the heart of Ohio Amish Country, Schrock's Heritage Village isn't as much a shopping center as it is an entire shopping destination.
With multiple shops selling everything from pet supplies and Christmas decorations to leather shoes and hand-built furniture, one could easily spend days exploring this shopping village!
You'll want to review the full list of shops and plan your day strategically. Berlin Craft Mall is a must-visit for makers, artists, and anyone who appreciates a beautiful *and* functional work of art. You'll find everything from craft and quilt supplies to the high-quality, handmade decor and wares for which the Amish are celebrated.
Those looking to decorate their home with unique antiques will definitely want to stop by the Berlin Antique Mall, which carries everything from vintage furniture to classic glass bottles!
This being Amish Country, you know there's going to be a good general store at Schrock's -- and Streb’s General Store certainly delivers. In addition to delightful gifts and charming decor, the shelves are stocked with an array of delicious jams, syrups, and treats. If you want to have your kitchen smelling like a bona fide Amish bakery, definitely pick up some of the store's specialty mixes.
Speaking of bakeries, exploring a 50-acre shopping village is exhausting -- and sure to make you hungry! Luckily, you can stop by the Olde World Bistro and Bakery for a proper sit-down meal.
Order something classic, like a burger and fries, or go with a comforting meal like meatloaf and mashed potatoes. There are no wrong choices here, but no matter what you do, save room for dessert. The cakes and cookies from this Amish Country bakery are quite legendary, and you'll want to box up some for the road, too.
Of course, you don't have to hit the road just yet. If you find yourself not wanting to leave Ohio Amish Country, we don't blame you. Happily, Schrock's Heritage Village has a charming guest house that's available to rent for a night or two, and puts you right in the center of the action. Yes -- this shopping village has its own accommodations!
There truly is no place in Ohio like Schrock's Heritage Village. Family owned and operated since 1991, you'll want to set aside plenty of time to explore each and every one of the unique shops in the heart of Ohio Amish Country!
Have you been to this massive Amish shopping village in Ohio before? Schrock’s Heritage Village is an all-inclusive shopping destination… and a wholly delightful experience here in the Buckeye State.
