My favorite part of Amish country

This weekend, as I mentioned, we were in Amish country at the camp my husband and I used to counsel at. I love being down there – it’s beautiful, peaceful, smells faintly of horse manure… and my most favorite bulk food store is there!

If I was going to reenact the story of that girl who lived in Walmart (come on… you know what I’m talking about, right?) and could pick any store to live in, I would want to live here. All the food comes in these uniform clear plastic bags and tubs with uniform blue labels – the labels even have a Bible verse on them to make it extra quaint.

But hands down, this is why I love this particular store.

Oh, yes. That is a custom built cabinet that takes up the entire wall. Each spice or herb has it’s own little compartment (obviously in alphabetical order!!), with a label of what’s inside on the glass-front door. If heaven has a spice cabinet, surely it looks like this! :)

And it doesn’t hurt that you can get big tubs of herbs and spices for $.50. Yes, please. I’ll be moving in soon.
