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!
