Publisher's summary

Experience some sweet, garden-fresh romance in the next installment of Amy Clipston’s Amish Marketplace series.

Salina Petersheim runs her own booth at the Amish market, where she’s known for having the freshest and most delicious produce in the area. Her father is the bishop of her church district, and her brother is a deacon. They are a very close family, yet sometimes she tires of being compared to her older brother, Neil, who is married and has two children. She also feels the pressure of having to be the perfect daughter for her parents.

Salina has been dating Josiah for almost a year now, but he feels more like a friend than a boyfriend. Her parents approve of Josiah, who is a hardworking roofer. He’s handsome and easy to talk to, but he just doesn’t warm her heart the way she feels a boyfriend and future husband should. She secretly longs for more.

Along comes William “Will” Zimmerman, a Mennonite chef who runs a restaurant located next door to the Amish market. He wants Salina to supply the produce for his restaurant, and as they forge a business relationship, they both feel themselves falling in love. Salina especially tries to deny her feelings for Will since her father wants her to marry within the community.

Both Salina and Will feel stuck in their current relationships, but they cannot deny what they feel for each other. Will they follow their hearts or bow to the pressure of family? Or will God provide a surprising new road for them?

“The Farm Stand honors the Amish community in the very best of ways. I loved it.” (Shelley Shepard Gray, New York Times and USA Today besttselling author)

My favorite

This one was even better than the first one! I loved the characters and how well they were developed. I loved the storyline and how Ms. Clipston provided education on the Amish and Mennonite ways of living. These books are a good, wholesome read which is something that we seriously need today! I will add that I have since read the entire series, and this one is my favorite of the series.

Great Storyline

I so love the book and the narrative. I also liked the narrator and the way she read the book, she really kept my attention throughout the whole book. Worth listening to again.

The realness and their seeking Gods direction thru their struggles

All of it. I love the realness if Amy’s writings. The recognition and repentance of wrongs.

Good Clean Fun

A well crafted story with few characters and no surprises but an enjoyable story nonetheless.

good series

I love the second book of this series. love the author. looking forward to the third book

somewhat predictable. good though.

I know many authors use a degree of Pa Dutch or even German (not sure why) to make the book more "real". im still begging authors to quit with "wunderbar". lol way overused in books and rarely used in many parts of Amish America.

I guess the more you know abt Amish living the more books sound, I dont want to use the word "fake", just not realistic.

But the story was cute. I like how it wasn't a perfect love story. there were issues and that made it relatable. good job. I still think it's a cute little market.

But did you realize your story took place in Bird-In-Hand often on Beechdale Rd where Lknda Stoltzfoos disappeared from? That got my pulse racing about the coincidence. Of all places in Lancaster Co.... wow.

Nice audiobook

I like the author and the narrator, and the story. I will listen to more from both.

Love these book

Wonderful read. I love reading about the Amish. They have such normal lives, the same struggles as us all

middle school posturing

This book felt like going back to middle school.
I liked the first book - this one was ok.
