Marvel at some of the most beautiful views and learn about the land that still sustains hard-working Amish families to this day.

The a-la-carte lunch and dinner menus feature starters such as sweet corn fritters, iced raisin bread, and a basket o’ wings. We recommend the platters, which come with rolls and apple butter. You can also choose from Plain & Fancy’s own made-from-scratch golden fried chicken, a traditional chicken pot pie, baked ham loaf, or Grammy Lapp’s meatloaf. Make sure you save some room for dessert! Their pie, apple dumplings, rice pudding, and chocolate cream layer cake are some of the best in the area!
