We Ranked The 7 Best Amish Markets And Country Stores In Arkansas And Here Are The Results
Somewhere in Arkansas, you can buy a non-electric stove and a bag of Amish mushroom popcorn in the same trip. I have a thing for stores like that.
They turn a plain grocery run into a small adventure.
The markets on this list lean hard into old-fashioned ways. One sells flour in 50-pound sacks.
Another bakes its own sandwich bread, and a third keeps a child’s boutique in the back. I appreciate shelves that hold handmade furniture a few steps from the jam.
I’m drawn to the stuff a big-box store just can’t copy. That means bulk spices, canning gear, local honey, and baked goods made by hand.
Most of these spots have limited schedules, so it’s worth checking their hours before visiting. So which one earned the top spot, and which one deserves your next Saturday drive?
1. Eagle Corner Amish Market
Two days a week, a country road outside Gentry becomes a destination for bread lovers. Eagle Corner Amish Market opens only on Fridays and Saturdays, so timing matters here.
The store is Amish owned and operated. Its shelves feature goods from local growers and makers.
Fresh produce here is locally grown, which makes the selection shift with the seasons. You won’t get the same lineup in spring that you’d find in late summer.
Homemade baked goods are a big part of the draw. If you’ve ever eaten store bread and felt a little let down, this is your fix.
Natural foods round out the pantry side of the shop. It’s a smart stop if you like reading short ingredient lists instead of long ones.
Then there’s the furniture, which is handmade. Few grocery runs end with you eyeing a sturdy piece for the dining room.
Crafts fill in the gaps between food and furniture. They make easy gifts, and they come with a better story than anything from a mall kiosk.
Friday hours run from 9 AM to 6 PM. Saturday starts earlier at 8 AM and wraps up at 4 PM.
Plan your week around that window, because the rest of the days are closed. Showing up on a Tuesday will only get you a nice view of a quiet building.
A visit here doesn’t need to take long. Grab your bread, pick through the produce, and see what’s new in the furniture corner.
Bring a cooler if you’re driving from farther away in northwest Arkansas. Fresh produce and baked goods travel better when they stay cool.
Gentry sits in a rural stretch near the Oklahoma line. That quiet setting fits a market built on homegrown food and handmade work.
It lands at number one because it covers so much ground in one stop. Food, furniture, and crafts make it a rewarding place to browse.

2. Pine Creek General Store
Few stores can sell you pickles, cheese, fencing, and a non-electric stove in one aisle sweep. Pine Creek General Store near Salem pulls it off with zero fuss.
This Amish store mixes a pantry, a farm supply shop, and a kitchen outfitter. It’s the kind of place where your shopping list grows the longer you browse.
Start with the jars. Canned jellies and jams share shelf space with salsa, pickles, and garlic.
The spice selection is a real highlight. If your spice rack is mostly dusty jars from years ago, this is a fine place for a reset.
Bulk supplies make it easy to stock up. Home bakers and canners will feel right at home here.
Speaking of canning, the store carries canning equipment too. You can buy the jars, the gear, and the inspiration in one trip.
Cheese lovers should leave room in the cart. Meat and vegetables also show up on the shelves for a well-rounded haul.
Don’t skip the Amish mushroom popcorn. Mushroom popcorn pops into big round shapes, which makes it great for coating with caramel or candy.
Got animals at home? Feed for a wide range of animals is on hand, along with dog food and fencing.
The non-electric stoves are the real surprise. They’re a reminder that this store serves folks who live simply, not just weekend visitors.
Hours run 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Wednesday, then Friday and Saturday. Thursday and Sunday are closed, so double-check your calendar.
Salem sits in the quiet hills of north central Arkansas. It’s a scenic drive, and the store makes a solid reason to take it.
A pantry restock, a pet food run, and a popcorn snack can all happen in one stop. That versatility earns it a high spot on this list.
Address: 2866 Highway 395 N, Salem, AR 72576
3. Cedar Ridge Country Cupboard
A gravel road leads to one of the friendliest bargains in the Ozarks. Cedar Ridge Country Cupboard sits just off the main road near Berryville.
It’s a discount grocery store with a country twist. Think everyday groceries at friendly prices, plus a few homemade treats you won’t spot at a chain.
Farm-fresh eggs are a standout here. If you bake a lot, you already know how much a good egg matters.
The baked goods are made by Mennonite bakers. Breads and sweets from a small kitchen hit differently than plastic-wrapped loaves.
A deli counter adds a quick lunch option to the mix. It’s handy if the drive out leaves you hungry before you finish shopping.
Discount groceries are the real backbone of the store. Shoppers on a budget can stretch dollars here without giving up quality.
So why drive down a gravel road for groceries? Because pairing bargain prices with fresh baking is a rare combo.
The store keeps steady hours from Tuesday through Saturday. Doors open at 9 AM and close at 5 PM.
Monday and Sunday are closed days. Plan a midweek stop if you’d like a calmer trip.
Berryville is close to Eureka Springs, a popular stop for Arkansas road trippers. Swinging by the Cupboard makes an easy add-on to a weekend in the area.
Bring a few bags and some room in the back seat. Discount shelves have a way of tempting you into bigger hauls than planned.
The gravel road adds a bit of charm to the trip. Just drive slowly and enjoy the rolling country scenery on the way in.
This spot earns its ranking by mixing thrift and homemade goodness. Your wallet and your sweet tooth will both leave happy.

4. Dalton Country Market
Fifty pounds of flour in one sack is either a baker’s dream or a serious workout. Dalton Country Market in Pocahontas happily sells it both ways.
This old-fashioned country market is run as a Mennonite general store. It carries a little bit of everything, with a strong focus on staples.
Bulk foods are the main event. You can find big sacks of flour, sugar, and oats for serious pantry stocking.
Families who bake often will love the savings that come with buying big. Canners and holiday cooks should take note too.
Hungry already? The deli makes sandwiches on homemade bread.
That bread detail matters more than it sounds. A good sandwich starts with a good loaf, and this one is made in-house.
Baked goods line up next to the deli treats. Grab something sweet for the ride home, or for right now.
Produce is another strong point here. Fresh fruits and vegetables add color to a shopping trip built around staples.
Hours run Wednesday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM. Saturday closes a bit earlier at 5 PM.
Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday are closed days. Mark your calendar before making the drive.
Pocahontas sits in northeast Arkansas near the Black River. It’s a historic town with plenty of small-town character to explore after your stop.
Here’s a practical tip for the bulk aisle. Have airtight containers ready at home so your new flour and oats stay fresh for months.
A lunch break at the deli makes the trip feel like a mini outing. Eat your sandwich, then load up the trunk with supplies.
Dalton ranks high because it fills a real need. Few stores make stocking a pantry this simple, or this tasty.

5. Kozey’s Country Market
Candy, couches, and kids’ clothes walk into a store. That’s not a joke setup, it’s just a regular day at Kozey’s Country Market in Hardy.
This roadside stop on US-63 packs a lot into one building. Its Amish section is a big reason people pull off the highway.
Amish products fill plenty of shelf space. You’ll find a solid range of goods made with old-school methods.
Amish-made furniture is part of the lineup too. It’s sturdy, handmade, and a far cry from flat-pack boxes.
Snacks and candies make road trips better. Stock up before heading back out on the highway.
Souvenirs and knick-knacks are tucked around the store. They make easy gifts for friends who stayed home.
Plants add a green touch to the mix. Pick up something for the porch while you’re there.
Head to the back for a surprise. A child’s boutique waits there, which is great news for parents and grandparents.
There’s even a deli counter. Lunch and shopping in one stop is hard to beat.
Hours run Wednesday through Sunday, from 10 AM to 5 PM. Monday and Tuesday are closed.
Being open on Sunday sets Kozey’s apart from several stores on this list. That makes it a handy pick for weekend travelers.
Hardy sits along the Spring River in north Arkansas. The area draws visitors who love floating, fishing, and browsing small shops.
Give yourself time to wander. With so many sections, a quick stop can easily stretch into an hour.
Kozey’s ranks well for sheer variety. It’s part country store, part gift shop, and part furniture showroom.
Address: 175 US-63, Hardy, AR 72542
6. Honeywheat
Fresh bread smell greets you before you even reach the counter. Honeywheat on Main Street in Gentry makes a strong first impression that way.
This bakery and deli centers on fresh-baked bread and made-to-order sandwiches. It’s a small spot with a big menu of homemade comfort.
The sandwiches are built on house-baked bread. That one detail turns a simple lunch into something worth the trip.
Soups and salads join the lineup. They’re handy if you want something lighter alongside your sandwich.
Save room for dessert. Pastries and other baked goods tempt from the case.
Coffee is also on the menu. A cup pairs nicely with a pastry on a slow morning.
Bakers, take note of the shelves. Baking ingredients and spices are available for your own kitchen projects.
Short on time? Honeywheat offers a drive-through along with dine-in and takeout.
Hours run Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM. Friday stays open until 6 PM, while Saturday closes at 2 PM.
Fridays and Saturdays can get busy, so consider visiting earlier in the day for a potentially calmer shopping experience.
Free street parking makes stopping easy. You won’t have to hunt for a garage downtown.
Gentry is also home to the top pick on this list. Pair the two on a Friday or Saturday for a full day of Amish goods in northwest Arkansas.
Honeywheat is the most lunch-friendly market here. It’s a place to eat now and shop for later.
Address: 245 E Main St, Gentry, AR 72734
7. Ozark Country Market
A village named after pickles is a pretty great place to shop. Ozark Country Market sits at Pickles Gap Village in Conway, and the name alone earns a smile.
This market is a cute stop packed with Amish goods. It’s a fun pick if you want a little browsing with your errands.
Locally sourced honey is a highlight. Drizzle it on biscuits, stir it into tea, or give a jar as a gift.
Locally handcrafted items fill out the shelves. They offer a nice change from mass-made decor.
Souvenirs are part of the appeal too. Visitors passing through can grab a keepsake from central Arkansas.
Farm-fresh pantry items round out the selection. Your kitchen shelves will thank you.
So what makes it a day trip spot? The village setting gives you more to see beyond one store.
Hours run Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM. Sunday is closed.
That six-day schedule is a plus. It’s one of the easiest markets on this list to fit into a busy week.
Conway sits just north of Little Rock along US-65. That makes this stop easy for folks across the middle of the state.
Plan a short visit or a slow wander. Either way, you’ll likely leave with honey in hand.
Gift shoppers should keep this one in mind. Local honey and handcrafted items make thoughtful presents.
It rounds out the list as the friendliest pick for casual browsing. Sometimes the best errand is the one with a funny place name attached.
