Indiana's Amish food markets seeing growth

from wsbt.com: Even though Schmucker’s Produce Farm and Greenhouse has been in business since 1964, it doesn’t have a sign on the property, something not uncommon among Amish-owned businesses. Many do little or no advertising, and a few don’t have phones. But lately, more people have been finding their way to Amish food sellers, sometimes driving long distances to shop, says Gary Zehr, president of the Merchants Association in Shipshewana, a regional mecca for those seeking Amish-style food. Lately, more are straying from the tourist-beaten path to discover food purveyors – even using the bulk and specialty markets, bakeries and meat and cheese shops for periodic grocery shopping, he says.
