Guess what Happened at the Mennonite Store // What I bought!

My husband and I are MICHIGAN sugarbeet farmers. The Pioneer Sugar is the end product. The company is grower owned. You are supporting hard working farmers along with the Mennonite family. Thank you so much. Our family farm has been around since 1851 and we are lucky enough to have our son willing to continue into the 6th generation of a family legacy.

Miss Lori, I have had chronic stomach acid problems for many decades. When I took my Daddy bach to see all his childhood places before he passed, we stopped in Lancaster, PA. It was July 4th weekend and I had a horrible infection on shin that swelled my whole foot and smelled awful. No medical was opened. An Amish man took me home to see his wife as I was in bad shape. She put a bread poultice on this wound, giving me instructions on how to care for it. As we chatted about home remedies and forgotten wisdom, I asked her what she did for chronic dyspepsia. She told me that a piece of sugared ginger settled most problems and could be repeated as needed. Long story, but I use that as needed with great results.

[@carmalitayanock9584]

My mother used to put bread poultice on infected wounds on us. I love using the remedies from years gone by. A neighbor that was elderly wound had me taste something kind of mustard colored. It was bitter & I asked what this was. He replied it was golden seal. Then he told me a story about his friend that had terrible stomach problems & he gave him golden seal and said he never had problems again. (This was his story, not mine)

[@sortathesame8701]

The Amish use dried papaya for dyspepsia too, my father in law swore by it. Just eat a few small cubes before and after every meal. (that's how they come at the Mennonite store by my MIL's house in PA)

[@lorrieschwinn8972]

WOW!!

[@anjichurch4406]

Crystallized ginger is the best remedy for diarrhea I have ever known…you have to eat a handful every 2 hours until it stops but I have never had to take it more than twice myself nor my husband of 40 years and our four sons and their wives and our grandchildren nor anyone of have ever cared for come to think of it. . I learned about it years ago while studying herbalism and midwifery. Trouble is that if you eat too much and you don’t have diarrhea you can get seriously constipated. The little thread fibers absorb the liquid in the bowels.

[@SundaysChild1966]

Oh that's amazing! We have just one rebel Mennonite family in our area, the rest are Amish. How was your shin after the treatment? I think nerves have a lot to do with tummy, disgestion and bowel problems, which I have had since birth .. two weeks in the hospital after birth and then many trips after .. hope you are well now, Bless

[@kaycoulter1559]

After watching this video, my husband and I went to our closest Mennonite bulk store. I picked up the hickory smoked salt for $2.16 for a little over 1/2 lb. I saw a 50 lb. bag of white sugar for $55.95. Now sure how that compares to what you bought. I grew up in a family owned grocery store. My parents opened it in 1948 and my mother closed it in 1979 when she retired. All 5 kids worked bagging potatoes, putting bulk eggs in cartons, weighing dried beans and slicing meat. We sold flour in the pretty cloth sacks and I remember my Mom taking women into the basement to pick out the one they wanted. At Christmas time, we stayed after closing sacking up candy such as ribbon candy, peanut brittle, coconut mounds and hard mix. So many great memories! On a funny note: we had a little old lady who always wanted a dime's worth of salt pork and a nickels worth of pinto beans. And sometimes 1 roll of toilet paper. Love your channel!

My grandmother born in 1895 had those very heavy blue bowls. She used them for mixing, harvesting and washing clothes (by hand of course),and she also used them as a dishpan to wash her dishes. I believe she bathed her babies in them as well. (she had 13).I have the matching tea cup to your little plate with the peaches on it. My mother collected teacups and matching saucers.

I love the enamel bowls. They are very durable and do not scratch easily. I have some I use for camping because they can go on the heat and easy to clean. At home I have a few I use, turkey roaster, cake pan, and a small pan. My mother had a pan that she always used to boil tea leaves (it's hard to find loose tea now) made the best tea (hmmm i wonder what happened to that pan?). Please do not use the Teflon cancer coated pans.

Hi Miss Lori, your splatter ware brought back memories. I'm in my 70s now, but mom had a set just like them. She used the big one as a dish pan and when canning, the small one would be waiting outside with warm water and a chunk of lye soap to lather up when daddy and his shadow came in from the fields or barn to eat. The matching wash pan, also with warm water, was for rinsing. The hotter the day the cooler the water. There were several other pieces too, a small bowl she put fresh churned butter in The only other one I remember exactly was an oval one she said was my bath tub as a baby. It sounds a little gross now, but I only remember her using it when she picked veggies and canned. All sold at the auction after my dad died. I was 6, but at least we got to keep the farm.

Mine is so old the agate ware is chipped in a couple of places and still works great I wouldn’t trade it for a new one, lol.

Ms. Lori, this Mimi and Pa need to read that book. You bought things you can’t buy at Walmart, and like y’all, we try our best to avoid, but sometimes you just can’t. Not only were you blessed with those wonderful items, you came home with a full, happy heart. And that, money cannot buy: God bless and I’m glad to see we’ve endured another winter and the good Lord has blessed us with a beautiful Spring.

Hi Teresa

[@cathyprosser1050]

Yes, indeed, such blessings every day!!! GOD is so good! He's so good to me and has been all my life. That's not to say things have always been easy because they haven't. But He has been right beside me every step of the way and I love Him so much. Glad you enjoyed your day and your finds at the Mennonite store and the flea market 😊. May GOD keep right on blessing you and Mr. Brown and all those you love so much 🙏 ❤

I love shopping in the Amish & Mennonite bulk stores! Bought the Hickory Smoked Salt (really good), & some ground Oregano & Sage at ours.

[@lindajohnson3000]

What a beautiful video! We have a Menonnite store near us but we haven't made it over there yet. Two years here - I think it's time we made the drive. Great bargains you found. Been having too many senior moments lately. Worst was last week when I was trying to take a shower and forgot which side was hot and which was cold and I kept scalding myself. Ended up screaming for help. Was so embarrassed when hubby had to explain it to me. Brain is going but the heart is still right, thank God. Those little bronzed shoes are someone's precious memory. What a treasure.

Oh miss Lorie, I just love yours and Mr Browns channel. I've been watching y'all off and on for awhile now, and I really like your cabin, your garden, and of course your cooking. We moved out to Sutherland Virginia back in the summer, and live near a Amish Country store that we enjoy going to as well, you can get some special things there and the people they are just the sweetest. Anyway thank you for your wonderful channel I always feel like I'm spending time with special friends when I stop in, to see what you and Mr Brown are up to! So until next time, love and blessings to you both , from the ❤️ Vicki in Virginia 😇

It’s been 1.5 years since this video but I really enjoyed watching it.

Miss Lori, again and again I love your program, and I love the story that you're sharing about the Mennonite family... possibly the next time you go in bring your phone or laptop and show Irving about your program and a little bit about KZbin.... you guys are such a blessing I'm so glad a couple of years ago the Lord allowed me to stumble into your site... blessings big time!!!

I love out local Mennonite store! So nice of you to let folks know about his store.

When I lived in New Jersey I used to visit an Amish market once a week to buy the tasty treats and meats they sold. Sometimes I would travel to the Poconos and visit this one mennonite community and although I know there is a difference between the two faiths, one thing is for certain they are all the friendliest individuals I have ever met. Lori, maybe next time your there you could film some footage of the area....I would love to see that river :)

[@robin4078]

Hi David :) I live in New Jersey and I've been going to an Amish market for over 25 years, lol. I wonder if it's the same one that you used to go to. I go to the one in Princeton on Rt. 27. They have the most amazing stuffed buttery pretzels! We live an hour away from there, in Howell NJ, and those pretzels alone are worth the trip! lol

[@davidlaue8225]

@@robin4078 Williamstown Farmers Market, WOW! stuffed buttery pretzels....you've got my mouth watering. I now live on the West coast and there isn't anything like that here. It's the Water ;)

[@robin4078]

@@davidlaue8225 I'm sorry that there's nothing local for ya anymore. Time to break out a cook book and whip up a batch of pretzels for yourself I guess😊

Crystalized Ginger is so good. Let it melt in your mouth. Nothing but smiles.

Those saucers were hand painted, so pretty, and the mother of pearl

You got some amazing stuff ! I used to live close to an Amish store and bought so much there over the years. I bought all my flour, spices, herbs and other seasonings there, and my dad bought my mom and I sets of knives there. I still have the the stainless steel half gallon tea kettle that he got my mom, and the stainless bread pans for me. Living almost 250 miles away now, I miss being able to shop there. One of my aunts has the splatter ware that was my grandmother's. It's red, and gran used the one like your big one to mix bread. The smaller one my aunt uses for her garden and on her table to hold the sugar, creamer, salt, pepper, and a couple of table spices. Thank you so much for sharing this. It brought back some much loved memories. Oh, your dishes are lovely. I have a pair that belonged to my mom. The cherry design sat beside the kitchen sink for bar soap and the peach design was on daddy's dresser for when he emptied his pockets so mom could wash his overalls 🙂. God bless you Miss Lori, y'all have been a blessing to me

[@carmalitayanock9584]

Ok, now that I know where the General Store is I have to know where you are stopping for these flea markets are at. My husband & I love traveling the back roads of Arkansas & finding antique shops and flea markets, I love finding things I love at a good price. Love your videos and look forward to many more. God bless your household.

[@bustersmith5569]

Ms Lori your heart just fell out on the floor on this one !!!!😇TY for all you do ,,,,

[@saraklotz7155]

It's amazing your Mennonite store is still open! You are blessed! We have the old buildings of 2 old stores still standing one from 1910. Unfortunately they are no longer in business vin my little town. Love your videos!
