The World of Amish Art
Settlers' Amish Co-op Is OPEN!
Jonathan and Marietta Hershberger have joined Settlers’ Village of Shops at 14279 Old State Rd. Middlefield,
with an addition of Settlers’ Amish Co-op and Petting Farm. Settlers’ Amish Co-op will feature locally
hand-crafted Amish and Yankee merchandise.
Settlers’ Amish Co-op is located in the back building of the village.
With an actual Amish Bugging topping its roof, making it hard to miss!

As you walk in, you are pleasantly greeted by the aroma of cedar buckets, candles of many fragrances,
and fresh bakery. You may find Marietta or several Amish vendors at work on hand-crafted cards, clothing,
or painting on slates or feathers.
All price levels can be found from a hand-crafted card for $1.00 to a glider or a swing for a few hundred.
If you have hand-crafted items, and are looking for a shop to sell your wares, give Settlers’ Amish Co-op a
call at (440) 632-6332. They are looking for more high-quality merchandise especially Amish-made furniture.
Settlers’ Village is a shopping village many local residents visit and shop especially with relatives and friends
from outside the area. Settlers’ Amish Co-op will be another shop that will showcase well for tourists and
locals alike
when wanting a gift or souvenir from the area.
Bella and Bonnie, Settlers’ two baby goats are a welcome addition to the village. They have now been joined by
chickens and rabbits. To our great delight we have had our first egg! this young gentelman was the lucky
person to spot it first!

Congradulations!
