Oh yes, there’s probably fifty little butcher shops in the county, and the beef most of them carve up was walking around out back just last week. I do love living in farm country, the little stands at the end of every driveway always have good stuff out, nice and fresh.
I have not ventured into Amish meats or produce. We do have a lot of girls doing house cleaning services; and TONS of Amish house construction crews. Two years ago 25 acres behind me were logged by an Amish father & son.
We have all that here too, most of the Amish around here have construction companies, some of them are good at what they do. There’s Amish tree services and loggers, only one locally is actually properly insured though, which annoys me to no end.
In Ohio, I thinks there is some strange law were farms can't butcher there own meat & sell it retail.
There are rules about that too, my understanding is that the farm can sell you the cow, and you can pay their shop to carve it up for you. They have to be a USDA registered/licensed shop to sell retail, but I can buy a whole (or sometimes half or quarter) cow from the farm. My parents usually buy a cow a year and we kids all split it with them, each paying for the percentage we want.
My brother use to live I Mansfield Ohio and yes the some of the Amish farms had stores and the meats , cheeses , and so much more top quality for sure
That all looks great! That pizza really looks like it turned out quite well.
The neat thing about the pizza is that the crust sort of takes on the flavor of a fried dough, that you might get at a fair, yet it eats like a deep dish, despite being rolled out thin. I'm digging it so far.
Interesting. That sounds really good. I bought my mother an Ooni wood pellet pizza oven for Christmas the other year and it makes a real good pizza, but not a “fried dough” type pizza. That’s different, but I like the sound of it. Maybe I’ll try it some time.
That pizza looks fantastic !
Meatballs homemade ? ? ?
Yessir, GF made these. Beef and pork, breadcrumbs, egg, seasonings, the usual. She cooks them in the airfryer which I was initially skeptical of, but they always come out good.
I have a 1 pint container of maple syrup that my father made in 1982 in New Hampshire !
Cake doughnuts cut in half, then grilled are pretty darn good w/ butter & syrup.Waffle for me, thin ones like I used to get from this Czech breakfast place in town are my favorite. I also like liege, stroop and Belgian waffles too. Those Czech ladies also made these delicious little pastries called kolache, highly recommend. Crepes and doughnuts honorable mention.
