These hearty, traditional Amish home meals are served family style, on traditional benches or folding chairs, right in the host’s kitchen, living room, and/or dining room.
Arthur’s Amish population are know as “House Amish” in that they hold their church services in their home rather than in a church building. As such they have more open floor plans and large main rooms, often with removable walls to accommodate the large gatherings. We can seat up to 110 people at one serving in some of our homes.
The meals offer two meats, one always fried chicken, a seasonal vegetable, mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken and noodles, a salad, fresh homemade bread, apple butter and”church” peanut butter spreads, drinks and a choice of homemade pies. These are not diet conscious meals, but hearty farm style meals. You will not go away hungry!
Your host will appreciate a group or silent personal prayer before the meal, and she or the family helpers are always on hand and love to chat after the meal.
