Yoder’s Meat Shoppe

Had a great time looking and sampling all of the different kinds of cheeses and smoked meats. So glad we took a cooler with us, because we filled it. They do sell ice packs for $.99. We bought 2 and it worked out perfect. Now if it was a hot summer day we might have had issues.
They also have a section of bulk foods. It is pre-​package in plastic containers. They have snacks, candy and even hot chocolate mix. Most of the shops in Shipshewana sell these items.

I’ve been coming to the Shipshewana Flea Market since I was a baby, and some things never change. Such as the fact that I still go almost every year, and we still always stop at Yoder’s before we head back home.
This is a great little shop. Its greatness is intensified if you come here AFTER wandering the market outside– because it’s air-​conditioned and it feels amazing after a day in the sun!
As the name implies: it’s all about the meats. Bacons, sausages, chops, you name it and they sell it. There’s also a great variety of cheeses. What’s awesome about Yoder’s is that they always have samples out of various products, so you know what you’re in for before you buy. Personally, I’d recommend the beef sticks and white cheddar cheese curds. They make a perfect in-​the-​car snack for the long drive ahead of us.
Perhaps my favorite part of this store, however, is the endless aisle of candy. Call me a kid at heart, but it is impossible to go that aisle without nabbing at least one container. This trip, it was a container of mini dark chocolate buckeyes (about $ 4 for a little less than half a pound). Worth it.
Sadly, they were out of molasses cookies (a must-​have), but I opted to get Holstein Cookies instead, which came 6 to a bag. They’re half chocolate, half chocolate chip, and all delicious. They might be a new favorite.
There’s also a pretty neat section of «old-​fashioned» bottled sodas. There are classics like root beer and cream soda, but also some new favorites like Raspberry Chocolate Truffle ($ 1.79 a bottle) or Cucumber. It’s pretty cool and worth checking out.
If you’re in town, don’t pass this place up. It has a lot of variety, helpful staff, and is always clean and air-​conditioned.

Get the bacon!
That’s really all I have to say about this place. The cured pork was amazing. It was my intention to freeze a pound of this treat and bring it back to Phoenix, but my family had other ideas and we had bacon sandwiches instead. But, man, did that make for some awesome sandwiches.

Yoders Meat Shop is one of my favorite stops while visiting Shipshewana, Indiana. A small community of English, Amish and Mennonite families working together to create one very unique town.
Yoders offers a wonderful variety of cheeses from blocked cheese to cheese curds. A wide variety of cheeses from chedders, goat cheese, flavored cheese, and exotic cheeses.
My own disappointment is that I am only able to shop during my yearly visit to area to see family. My mother law has purchased her meats and I can honestly say that the steaks have been really good. Yoders has a wide variety of meats.

Awesome store. Great selection on meats cheeses seasonings and lots of extras. Many samples to taste products believe u buy. We will be visiting store again. Great deals on meat and it’s amish raised no. filler or hormone added.
