The Simple Life Story
Welcome to The Simple Life Amish Store
Rooted in tradition. Crafted with care. Shared from the heart.
Our Story
Born and now based in the rolling hills of New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, we work closely with Old Order Amish families whose way of life remains grounded in simplicity and skill. We've built real relationships with these craftsmen and women, and we’re honored to share their timeless creations with you.
What started as a passion for sharing my hometown's Amish culture, has grown into a mission: to connect others with the beauty and intention behind every handmade piece as well as help support our local community. From hand-poured candles to goat milk soaps, wooden toys, leather goods, and quilts—every item in our store is thoughtfully chosen and made with care.
Our Mission
We exist to support and preserve a way of life that prioritizes purpose over speed, and quality over convenience. Every purchase helps sustain Amish traditions and supports real families and small businesses in our community.
What We Offer
- Handcrafted Treasures: Amish-made soaps, hand-crocheted washcloths, purses, leather goods, furniture, toys, spices, and more.
- A Connection to Simplicity: Every item reflects a slower, more intentional way of living.
- A Piece of Tradition: Your purchase directly supports Amish and local artisans and helps preserve a rich cultural heritage.
Thank You
When you shop with us, you're not just buying a product—you’re becoming part of something meaningful. A celebration of timeless craftsmanship, genuine connection, and the beauty of living simply.
We're so glad you're here. Take your time, look around, and enjoy the quiet joy of tradition made by hand.
Warm regards,
