These hand-crafted baskets are amazing! We visited their little shop, located between Middlebury & Shipshewana (not hard to find at all). Almost all of the work is done by the Amish lady who owns it & a couple of younger Amish girls who work with her (when they have really big, heavy pieces of wood to handle, a couple of Amish guys do that for them). Besides baskets, 1 of the girls does exquisite scroll saw work. I bought 2 baskets & 1 scroll saw item. Considering the quality & attention to detail, prices are very reasonable. I much prefer Teaberry baskets to the Sonshine baskets (which are more of a traditional woven basket) because the Teaberry baskets are more heavy-duty & have a nice, thick wooden rim around the top with built-in handles. Also with the Teaberry baskets, no 2 are exactly alike & each basket is signed, numbered & dated by the maker. If you are interested in Amish baskets, this place most definitely deserves a look!

Heritage Ridge is one of our favorite stops during our annual trip to Shipshewana. There's a large variety of cheese available for purchase and we usually buy 7-8 kinds. Note: no tasting during the Covid restrictions but just ask one of the friendly employees for help.

We have traveled from Chicago area a number of times to experience their live theater. We keep going back! Looking forward in 2020 to their Live Easter Musical: Cotton Patch Gospel. We now have a great place to meet up with family living in Michigan who had never been to live theater or concerts, but are now loving it. Our visits with family are topped off at Essenhaus with an enjoyable dinner and a comfortable nights stay. The people there are so friendly and accommodating. Once when we were running very late (Chicago traffic) and couldn't contact family we were meeting for the show, the hotel and restaurant hunted them down in the gift shops and even gave our dinner (we had paid for ahead) to them as they waited for us. We missed that meal together, but made it just in time for the show. Its more than entertainment, its an experience!

Wonderful cider being sold in a beautiful countryside old mill. The owners are very helpful, friendly, and full of knowledge that they willingly share regarding the apple cider process. Another Indiana treasure.
