Walker met the Amish folks when they were having trouble retailing baked goods from their homes. He became friends with a family from Pennsylvania who had food service experience, and talked to them about starting a restaurant. Walker feels that many people around the region have a bad impression of the Amish. The restaurant opened about two and a half months ago, and according to the restaurant owner Barbara Fisher, business is pretty good. This weeks the menu included baked ham, turkey pot pie, and beef and noodles.
Next week is pork chops, barbecue chicken, and spaghetti with meat balls.
Soup and salad are also served for light eaters. Drinks and deserts are included. The restaurant also sells homemade jams, jellies, bread and pastries. They are in the process of installing a permanent bakery, hopefully to be open in time to complement the organic fruits and vegetables that are sold there in the summer. Also at the Old Milton School are office rooms for rent and a banquet room, along with a future school museum.
