The small town of Arthur is located in the heart of the Illinois Amish country. It’s a step back to simpler times when horse-drawn buggies were used instead of cars, when most household items were homemade, and when all food was made from scratch. If you’re looking for a day trip destination, Arthur is always a good choice. And one place you must visit in Arthur is The Homestead Bakery where you can pick up some homemade Amish goods that alone are worth the drive.
Since 2006, The Homestead Bakery has been baking homemade Amish treats year-round in the heart of the Illinois Amish country. It’s located at the same place as The Great Pumpkin Patch, a seasonal attraction in Arthur.
