Long Island, renowned for its beaches and bustling suburbs, is now home to an exciting new culinary and shopping destination: Long Island Amish Market & Table, bringing authentic Amish cuisine, homestyle baking, and fresh market shopping to eastern New York. This ambitious venture has quickly become a must-visit spot for those seeking a break from the big city’s pace to savor the flavors of real Pennsylvania Dutch cooking and shop for wholesome, handpicked ingredients.
Amish Hospitality Arrives on Long Island
Long Island Amish Market & Table is the brainchild of the Miller family, who relocated from Lancaster County’s rolling farmlands to Suffolk County. Their goal: bring the warmth, simplicity, and flavor of beloved Amish kitchens to the heart of Long Island. The space, styled with reclaimed barn wood, soft lighting, and shelves lined with hand-canned jams, immediately feels inviting and communal.
“The second you walk in, you know this is different. The cakes look like what my grandmother used to make, and the staff greet you like you’re a regular,” said local food blogger Janet M. after her first visit.

The Market Side: Handpicked & Handmade
Behind the dining room, the Amish Market’s shelves overflow with family-recipe jams, jellies, and pickles, craft cheeses, barrel-cured spices, and rare flours for bakers. A fresh produce section supplies seasonal vegetables from Miller family growers in PA and local Suffolk farms. Bulk candy bins and dried fruit selection remind guests of Lancaster’s bustling stands.
“Our apples and root veggies come straight from Amish farms,” a manager explained. “It’s about sharing a tradition—food prepared and served the old-fashioned way.”
