Our deli and bakery offer delicious (and nutritious) meals with both unique recipes and old-fashioned standards. Weekly specials provide variety in a menu of sandwiches, soups and salads, as well as brisket and sausage plates featuring our renowned all-natural grass-fed beef. This beef also forms the juicy patties for our selection of gourmet hamburgers with fresh-baked buns made from our fresh stone-ground flour. Top it all off with one of our award-winning homemade pies or our delicious ice cream, made right in our community from all-natural ingredients. Then take home a few loaves of whole wheat bread or any of the delicious fresh pastries. View more pictures

Heritage Forge
BlacksmithBlacksmith
The ringing sound of the smithy's hammer pounding the anvil often floats throughout the crafts village. The blacksmith pumps the bellows, and soon normally immoveable iron glows red-hot, becoming malleable. The smith then transforms the raw material into an amazing array of ornamental work from wrought-iron tables and beds to chandeliers and ornate gates and fences. View more pictures
Gristmill
Homestead GristmillHomestead Gristmill
Fresh ground, organically grown grains—wheat, spelt, oats, corn and more. Watch our millers operate the water-wheel-driven mill to produce fine flour for baking. The gristmill is housed in the 1750's timber-framed "John Mott Mill." Purchase fresh flour, cornmeal and mixes that produce delicious breads and pastries. View more pictures
Fiber Crafts
Fiber CraftsFiber Crafts
Carding wool, combing cotton or beating flax begins the processes used through the generations to transform nature's raw materials into fabrics. Spinning twists tiny fibers into threads and yarns that weavers and felters turn into fabric for rugs, blankets and decorative tapestries, clothing and quilts. View more pictures
