The Cole Homestead

Yearly Amish trip

To go along with my once a year shopping, I am getting ready to go to the Amish Store.  I did the rest of my shopping in January but this store does not open till around Easter.  This year I really want to stock up since the cost of food is really going up and with the truck driver strike against high diesel prices we figure to "get while the gettin' is good!"  Our local elevator is no longer taking wheat so I will have to find another source.  Anyway, here is my shopping list:

Barley 10 lbs

Chicken Base 4 large containers

Coconut oil 5 large containers

Crystal ginger  2 packs

Flour 200 to 300 pounds depends on how much they have on hand

Matches 3- 3 packs

Olive oil 4 gallons

Pickling spice 4

Popcorn 15 pounds

pumpkin seeds 2 large containers

Raisins 6 pounds

Brown rice 20 pounds

salt 10 pounds

season salt 5 pounds

Brown sugar 20 pounds

yeast 3

and about 50 dollars worth of spices.  I also want to check and see if the have and wheat on hand though I know that it will be high.  I also hear that the have goats for sell.  Everyone around here has Boer goats.  I was hoping for something more down the lines of a dairy goat instead of a meat goat.  I guess I will have to wait and see what Sat brings!
