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 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.

Ms. Yoder has Amish and conservative Mennonite friends, and her family is close to a conservative Mennonite couple, who took Ms. Yoder under their wing to be her "second" parents more than two decades ago. Her foster children have grown up calling them "Aunt" and "Uncle." A car wreck forced Ms. Yoder into writing full-time. It was then that she discovered that she could help people unwind and enjoy better leisure time through her simple, quaint writing. Traveling from beautiful Mackinaw Island to sunny Orlando, Florida, Ms. Yoder found that library patrons and school children loved her cooking demonstrations and Plain books; therefore, Dutch Farms Books was formed to meet the growing needs of people like you, who want to get away from that nagging boss, hectic rush-hour traffic, and office noise. Enjoy your lunch hour and slip into one of our books. We roll out the welcome mat to Amish Country.
