"A MUST STOP if you're in Shipshewana!
If you've never tried their Bourbon Glazed Pork Chops (available in store only) you're missing out on some of the most tender, flavorful pork chops of your life! I seriously couldn't believe how their house-made glaze soaked that delicious, rich bourbon flavor through the entire pork chop. There's just no comparison between big box and Yoder's when it comes to the quality and flavor of their steaks, sirloin burgers, and pork.
It's absolutely worth a stop here not only for their meat but experience their entire store and staff. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful. I'm also probably going to gain weight thanks to the sheer amount of new kinds of Amish made cheeses I picked up to try. You can't go wrong with the smoked bacon gouda, and they'll even slice it for you at the deli counter!
My kids also love the snack and candy aisle and beg to pick up the chocolate milk every time we go. I love to grab their kettle corn for the drive home, and I always make a trip to pick up dip mixes and soup mixes before the holidays."
