What are three things that would make your work day go smoother? If you're like most folks, a calmer work day is one of the top answers. A nagging boss, long commute, and overloaded workload all add stress, leaving one exhausted during the evening.

   At Dutch Farms Books, we can help your work day go smoother by providing a lunch-time escape into a more simple world. The Old Order Amish and many conservative Mennonites have a world all of their own. Mules plow the vast vegetable gardens, bonnet-covered children play along sprawling farm-side hills, and the fragrant aroma of piping-hot Shoofly pies echoes out of the wood-burning stoves. And if you listen closely, you might hear some hymns from The Ausbund.

   At Dutch Farms Books, we have been providing lunch-time escapes since 2004, and we have Plain family, so we know Plain folks well, and we enjoy taking you away to Amish Country during your lunch hour. Our books are read at dawn, during lunch, at bedtime, or anytime readers need that quiet moment to relax and slip away into a farming land like no other: Amish Country. Go ahead, browse our slideshow below and click on your next lunch-time escape. Available on Kindle, Nook, and in paperback. Kindle and Nook have free apps on their websites that you can download onto your phone and computer.
