Kitchen Kettle Village (Intercourse)

You could actually miss this place, or not pay attention to it. From SR340 you only see a sign and a parking lot. The size of the parking lot should be a hint. The brag here is that there are 39 country shopkeepers. The reason that you might want to drop in is that the quality is fairly high and it’s a great place to buy a gift, a souvenir, or something for the house.

Village Outfitters features Woolrich clothing. Deerskin Leather features their own work as well as brand names such as Birkinstock. Garnett Pottery features their own work and that of other local potters. Cloverfield’s sells locally made cloth items, and on it goes. There are a number of places featuring edibles, everything from nuts to smoked meat to jams and salad dressings, with everything done on-site. For a laugh, go into the Clubhouse (gifts for men), for your garden, go to the Garden Gate.

I really enjoyed the area. It was clean, attractive, and comfortable. Drop in.

Kitchen Kettle Village

The Kitchen Kettle Village is a wonderland of over 30 shops and restaurants built around the nationally celebrated Jam and Relish Kitchen. For almost 50 years, visitors have enjoyed the great recipes and fine crafts of this Lancaster County treasure. It's a charming place that evokes warm feelings of home, family and tradition at every turn. Delicious aromas of smoked meats, bubbling fudge pots and oven-fresh pretzels permeate the air and flood the senses. Patrons gather to watch a favorite treat being made while friendly shop keepers offer up delightful stories.

Aside from all the fantastic shops, Kitchen Kettle Village offers plenty of other family friendly activities as well. Take a horse-drawn carriage ride down Pepper Lane or spend some "cuddle time" at the petting zoo. Learn what it means to "throw a pot" at Garnett Pottery. Watch how leather is "tooled" into beautiful belts, bags and totes at Deerskin Leather. Afterwards, check out one of the flavorful events that is undoubtedly underway. Host to four delicious festivals each year, the Village celebrates everything from rhubarb to chow-chow (an Amish relish).

Located in the heart of Amish Country, the Village guest quarters are not only quaint, but convenient for day trips as well. Kitchen Kettle Village is open year-round, Monday through Saturday. It is a definate must-see for anyone visiting Lancaster County!

This particular shopping area is a very unique collection of stores in the little town of Intercourse, PA. It is right along the main street. Plenty of free parking. Lots of stores for shoppers of all ages and interests. Some of the stores include a candy shop, pretzel house, artworks, basket store, bake shop, delicatessan, ice cream shop, toy store, quilts, pottery, to name a few. There are 32 stores in all. It reminded me of a small village. There is often local entertainment, as well as buggy rides and hay rides available. There is a very good restaurant, the Kling House Restaurant. If I remember correctly, we ate there for lunch. You get the feel of actually joining a friend at their house for dinner. It is a converted house, with separate rooms used as the dining rooms. Food was very good. Many of the products that are sold in the Kitchen Kettle Village are served at this restaurant. Did I mention we like to eat out a lot when we go on vacation? Where else could you get the selection of restaurants and food?
