Ashery Country Store: A Beloved Stop in Amish Country
The Ashery Country Store, located at 8922 State Route 241 in Fredericksburg, Ohio, has been a cherished destination for me since the early days. Established in 1979 by Cecil Yoder, the Ashery has grown from its humble beginnings in a neighbor’s basement into the bustling, beloved store it is today. Cecil’s vision of providing quality products at reasonable prices has held strong over the years, making it a cornerstone of Ohio’s Amish Country.
When I first started visiting, the Ashery was my go-to for bulk foods and spices. I’d leave with bags of pantry staples. Today, Ashery still offers an impressive selection of bulk foods, perfect for anyone who enjoys baking and cooking from scratch. Each item is packaged on-site, keeping that personal touch that’s hard to find elsewhere.
But the Ashery has evolved, and so have my shopping habits. Now, I don’t just stop for bulk spices and pantry items. Their deli section, with freshly sliced meats and cheeses from Holmes County, is a regular treat for me. I know I can count on their meats and locally made cheeses to bring flavor to any meal. Whether it’s a picnic lunch or a family gathering, their deli selection has become a staple in my shopping cart.
Beyond the essentials, the Ashery has become a treasure chest of local treats and seasonal produce. From freshly harvested, Ohio-grown produce to homemade jams and candies, every visit feels like a chance to discover something new. Their snack mixes are addictive; I often grab a bag or two as a “just because” treat for the family.
Timeless Traditions of Taste and Hospitality
The Ashery’s quaint, family-owned atmosphere remains a considerable part of its appeal. They emphasize customer service and community values, which is why I love returning time and again. Weekly specials, coupons, and even a rewards program make it an enjoyable, practical place to shop. And for those who can’t make the trip in person, Ashery Country Store offers an online store with over 2,000 products. It’s a way to share a piece of this Ohio gem with friends and family across the miles.
Whether I’m grabbing a bag of my favorite candy or stocking up on deli meats, every visit to the Ashery Country Store feels like coming home. It reminds me of the values that Holmes County stands for—quality, tradition, and a genuine love for community.
