I am so glad we live in the part of America that also has so many vibrant Amish communities. And, when I say "vibrant", I'm obviously not talking about the color of clothing, but the natural way of life that they share including their grocery stores which are unlike any you've probably ever seen as new video from Illinois proves.

Alley Picked on YouTube just paid a visit to an Amish grocery store in Arthur, Illinois - Beachy's Bulk Foods. This might just inspire a road trip if you've never been there yourself. Arthur, Illinois is home to the largest Amish community in the state, by the way.

I checked reviews of this Arthur, Illinois store on Trip Advisor and it appears they have lots of fans. 77 five-star reviews as of this writing including the following comments:

  • "Great place for a weekend trip"
  • "What an amazing place!"
  • "Don’t miss out on a fabulous stop"
  • "They have it all!"

The fact that this store maintains staples of their faith including their disdain for electricity and the fake wood floor cement outside is interesting.
