A Family Style Threshers Dinner at Amish Acres

When you visit Amish Acres for the 1st time, part of the experience is enjoying a meal in their restaurant barn.

The menu at the Amish Acres Restaurant has not changed for nearly five decades which tells you that generations of families have been coming to enjoy this family-style meal together.

Another great thing about their family-style dinner is that you are encouraged to ask for seconds if you like it.

The inside of the barn is beautiful with lots of seating.

For starters, we had a basket of freshly baked hearth bread served with churned butter, apple butter, sweet & sour cabbage slaw, and “Last of the Garden Relish.”

I could seriously eat bread with homemade Apple Butter all day long. It is so wonderful!

My younger son loved it so much that he requested another bowl after the main course.

Make sure you pace yourself because there is so much food to eat and you will want to leave some room for dessert! Trust me.

For dessert, you’ll probably need a few moments to take in all of the amazing options presented in front of you.

I suggest having everyone get something different so you can try a bite of each one.
