Recently, I visited the Amish Country Store in Branson, MO. As always, it was a fun time. If you've never been, prepare to be amazed.
It doesn't matter if you are a seasoned baker, or just wanting some snacks for the road, you will find something you must have!
If you know me very well, you know that I enjoy cruising the Branson Strip. However, there's a LOT more to Branson than Hwy. 76. There are several thorough fairs that lead to even more fun!

One of which is Gretna Road. It intersects with The Strip where Titanic Museum & Attraction sits.
Just 2.2 miles away from Titanic, the Amish Country Store feels like a delightful detour into a slower, sweeter era. Forget the bright lights of the shows and the laughs from the many attractions, this family-owned gem at 3100 Gretna Road is an attraction in and of itself!
Since 1999 the nostalgic the Amish Country Store store has been in business reminding folks of a simpler life and time. Family-owned, the Whalen family stocks shelves with authentic Amish-made goodies, proving that simple living can taste pretty spectacular.
When you pull into the parking lot you’ll spot the welcoming white gazebo out front. Step inside, and the aroma hits you like a warm hug: cinnamon, dill pickles, and fresh-baked sweetness wafting from every corner.
The store is spotless and wonderfully organized, with wide aisles perfect for leisurely browsing (or dodging excited kids clutching candy scoops).
The Food
Rows of gleaming glass jars brim with homemade jams and jellies—think strawberry-rhubarb that practically sings with real fruit. Pickle fans lose their minds over sweet garlic dills, pickled baby beets, and tangy sauerkraut, all from Amish kitchens that skip the shortcuts.
Shelves overflow with colorful candies, spices, nuts, and old-school snacks you haven’t seen since grandma’s pantry. Grab a bag of Amish peanut butter chocolate chip bars or a bottle of muscadine grape juice for the road.
Prices are reasonable when you factor in the quality. Items are free of imports or mystery additives—pure, traceable goodness from Amish farms and workshops across the Midwest.
Wander toward the back and you’ll discover the furniture showroom. Solid oak rockers, dining tables, and bedroom sets are showcased, each piece handcrafted the Amish way. No particleboard here—these heirlooms are built to last generations and ship anywhere if your SUV is already stuffed with jams.
Branson visitors rave about the variety (“best canned goods in town!”) and the clean, welcoming vibe, though a few note the cashiers are mostly business, focus on the flavors, not the small talk.
Open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Sundays, naturally), it’s an easy add-on to any Branson itinerary.
Pro tip: Swing by hungry and leave with picnic fixings for a scenic Ozarks overlook. Or stock up online later at amishcountrystoreonline.com if your suitcase protests.
In a town famous for glitz and glamour, the Amish Country Store delivers something Branson is known for: honest-to-goodness heart.
Whether you’re hunting souvenirs that actually last or just craving a jar of jam that tastes like summer, this place delivers old-fashioned delight by the bushel.
Next time you’re in Branson, be sure to visit Amish Country Store for a taste of true country charm. Your taste buds (and your future self) will thank you. Be sure to tell 'em Danny Branson sent ya!
