Upstate New York is home to a growing community of Amish and Mennonite families. Drawn to the area’s fertile soil and available farmland, they have become a pleasant fixture here. It is very common to see horse-drawn buggies on the roads, young Mennonites in their late teens and early 20′s are often seen riding bicycles along the hilly countrysides in the Finger Lakes area.

Both communities have very strong ties to farming and agriculture, but many Amish and Mennonites have started support businesses, cottage industries, and retail shops such as furniture building, construction, bulk food stores, fabric and dry good shops. These family owned businesses are bringing back authentic shopping experiences to our area in a time when homogenized big-box stores are everywhere, and to be honest I just really like shopping at them, especially the bulk foods stores.

Amish and Mennonite Food Stores in New York are a great place to shop to stock your pantry with basics ingredients, or buy items for long-term food storage. I usually shop with a massive list, I have 25 herbs and spices I consider essential and usually buy 6 months to a year’s supply at a time, I also buy a bunch of flour, oats, beans and sugars, but in slightly smaller quantities, there was a pantry moth incident a few years ago I am not keen on reliving.

All the stores are slightly different but generally you will be able to find the following items at most Amish and Mennonite Food Stores:

Rice

Lentils

Oats: instant, rolled

Nuts: cashews, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, etc.

Nut butters

Spices: from cinnamon to curry, nutmeg to smoked paprika,

Dried Pasta

Dried fruits: apples, banana chips, dates, raisins, etc.

Sugars: white, brown, confectioners, etc.

Flours: white, wheat, rye, gluten-free, etc.

Seeds: pumpkin, sunflower, poppy, sesame, etc.

Confectioneries: chocolate chips, sprinkles etc.

Coffee and tea

Cereals

Local Maple syrup and Honey

Beans: kidney, black, chickpeas, etc.

Soup Mixes

Condiments: ketchup, mustard, hot sauce

Snack items and Candy I never leave without gummy fried eggs if I have my kids with me

Cheese: hard and soft, bricks, shredded, curds and bulk

Frozen Fruits

Locally raised meat

Deli Items: Sliced Meat and Cheeses

Seasonal Fresh Produce
