I am from the north east near the Amish country. If you want to see a Amish general store check this place out. Look for the little treasures like there loose leaf tea and tiger butter or an great treat of there homemade granola. We absolutely love this Christan community. I ask that other Christians come and support this great community that lives for Christ.🙏

Wow...you have to come explore the shops at Homestead Heritage. Many of the hand crafted products they carry are made here in Waco. Their grocery is similar to a mini Whole Foods store with a wonderful selection of organic, non GMO foods. We visited the cheese shop...they have a cheese cave! You can walk down into the cave and see rows upon rows of different cheeses curing to delicious perfection. They offer samples of their award winning cheese varieties to try...yum! They offer a complete line of cheese accessories to treat yourself or for gifts. Some of the items are made within the other shops on the homestead. Make sure to visit the authentic 1800s Grist Mill to see how they grind the grains, and go see the Forge where they make tools, knifes and many iron decorative items, and the Woodworking shop had hand made furniture you can watch being made using old world methods. The Pottery shop has a variety of useful and decorative glaze ware, the Quilt shop has all types of fabric and sewing notions. The Yarn Shop is a needle workers dream with different types of hand spun yarn and threads in any color you can think of. They carry a full assortment of crochet, knitting and loom s

Homestead Village is the place to go to see a self sustaining agrarian community at work. The General Store is the product of their crafts and there is a great selection of goods to buy. The prices are a little high but you have to remember that they are all handmade on Homestead. Made in America is still a big deal with me. I loved to tour the grounds. Plan on spending some time there. And the shopkeepers are so wonderful, friendly, and forthcoming about their products and their lifestyle. This is a can't miss thing to do
