Yoder Bakery

Good luck trying to find this one on the net, I sure couldn't. My husband told me about an amish Bakery in Galatia Illinois, he's a local truck driver and goes thru there all the time on his way to the mines. Just outside Galatia on rt. 34 you will see a small handmade white sign proclaiming YODER BAKERY. OPEN FRIDAY-SATURDAY and the hours of somehting like 10 am to 7 pm. go about half a mile down a long gravel road and you will see two farmhouses with tin roofs and lots of yard. The second house is the bakery. Go down their driveway and youll go past their garden and chicken coops. A small addition onto the farmhouse is the bakery, when we went it was nice outside and all the windows were open, they were talking to us thru the screens before we even hit the door. Inside you will find a small shop loaded with handmade doughnuts, cookies, and jams. There were even pies and candies waiting for us. We've been twice now, the first time my son got "Whoopie Pie" cookies, which were thick, moist, devils food cookies with cream filling. one could have made a meal, and Im pretty sure I paid less than three dollars for half a dozen. We also got the most incredible cherry jam Ive ever had. We went back a second time (although Im sure it will be far from our last) after we ran out of aforementioned wonderfull jam, and got another jar plus rhubarb jam and M&M cookies. all this for under $6.00. They are wonderfull people, as well as bakers, and wont hesistate to chat you up about the days activities. There's no power going to the house, so I dont know if they still operate in winter at the same times as mentioned above, they may cut back to 'daylight hours.'
