Our Amish Home Meals are generally available by advance reservation only.
For groups of ten or more, we would like an advance notice of 7 – 14 days or greater. If you are planning for a larger group, we can hold your planned dates up to a year in advance. If you are planning that far in advance, we will just note the approximate size of your planned group and work out more precise numbers as the date draws closer. The final number of guests for a meal can be changed (added to or reduced in number if your plans change) up to 72 hours in advance of the meal date.
If you have a smaller group or if your visit date is less than a week off give us a call . We’ll check with our hosts and see if we can’t find one with time to cook. The more advance notice you can provide, the better chance we have of joining you to another group..
Bear in mind that our Amish hosts use a message service for our contacts and sometimes have to go over to a neighbors house to return our calls, so it takes a minimum of at least 2-3 days to confirm ANY meal plans. For smaller groups, occasionally one of our hosts will schedule a meal for as few as 10. We’ll try to fit you in with another group if a meal is already reserved or pencil your visit date into our calendar and try to find additional folks to make minimums. The longer the advance notice the greater the chance that we can find and join groups for a meal.
If your attending one of our special events here in Arthur, we might just have some open seating available. It does not hurt to check.
Email us today with the date of your planned visit and the number of persons you expect in your group.
