Iowa’s Amish country isn’t as well-known as the communities in neighboring states, but it has its own charming surprises. One of those can be found in the tiny town of Lamoni, where the Amish Country Store is the anchor of the community. This unique Amish flea market in Iowa celebrates local crafts and foods, combining a general store with a bakery and grocery store.

You can easily spend all day here browsing the aisles, picking out specialty goods, and finding strange items you never knew existed but can’t possibly live without! After one trip to the Amish Country Store, you’ll want to make Lamoni a regular stop.
From the minute you approach the Amish Country Store and see the impressive garden section, it’s clear this is a store unlike any other.
