MY STORY
FAITH • FAMILY • FOOD
• FAITH •
The foundation of my daily life is my relationship with God.
Growing up Amish I learned to trust God in every part of my life. From an early age I was rooted in the love and grace of God.
No matter what storm in life you're going through, I have found God to always be the Answer.
• FAMILY •
I grew up Amish in Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
Though it seems like a strange way to live to the world, I feel so blessed to have grown up that way.
At 22 years of age I left home to join the mission field.
I served in Guatemala for 3 years of my life until I met my husband who was also doing mission work in Guatemala. We got hitched and soon had 2 beautiful girls.
We now live on a small farm where we enjoy farming, gardening and making pretzels.
• FOOD •
Pretzels are a huge part of the Amish food culture.
Growing up, I can't remember a time not eating these amazing
HOT FRESH BUTTERED SOFT PRETZELS.
We started Amish Pretzel Shop because it would be a shame not to share them with you and the world. There’s nothing like an authentic Amish Pretzel. They are
SO SCHLECKIN' GOOD!
