Pennsylvania Dutch Comfort Comes to the Heart of Georgia: Yoder’s Peach State Market Opens on Zebulon Road
MACON, GA — The unmistakable aroma of fresh-baked yeast rolls and smoked meats has officially arrived in Macon. After months of construction and anticipation, Yoder’s Peach State Amish Market has opened its doors at 5900 Zebulon Road, bringing a slice of Lancaster County tradition to Middle Georgia.
Located in the renovated retail space just past the Lofts, the market offers a stark, refreshing contrast to the usual big-box shopping experience. Inside, gas lanterns hang from timber beams, and the aisles are stocked with goods that prioritize simple ingredients and exceptional craftsmanship. From hand-stitched quilts to jars of chow-chow, it is a full immersion into the slow-food lifestyle.
The Details

Market Highlights & Favorites
The market is divided into three main sections: the bakery, the deli/bulk foods, and the furniture gallery. Early visitors are already claiming their favorites.
The “Macon Morning” Donut: A massive glazed yeast donut that rivals any local bakery, made fresh every morning at 4:00 AM.
Amish Roll Butter: Sold in two-pound logs, this butter is creamy, salty, and has a cult following for a reason.
Smoked Hams & Cheeses: The deli counter features wood-smoked hams and sharp Amish cheddar that you can sample before you buy.
Soft Pretzels: These aren’t the frozen kind. Hand-rolled right behind the counter, they are dipped in butter and served hot.
Handcrafted Oak Rockers: In the back of the store, the furniture section showcases solid wood rocking chairs that are built to last generations.
What Macon Locals Are Saying
The parking lot has been packed since the soft opening on Tuesday. Here is what the first wave of customers had to say:
“I went to college in Pennsylvania and I have missed this food so much. The shoofly pie is the real deal—gooey, molasses-rich, and perfect. I bought two whole pies just to freeze one.”
— Rebecca L., North Macon
“I came for the furniture but stayed for the pretzels. Seriously, I’ve never tasted bread that soft. It’s dangerous having this place five minutes from my office.”
— Marcus T., works on Riverside Drive
“Finally, a place to get bulk spices and baking supplies without paying a fortune. The quality of their flour and oats is just different. You can taste the freshness.”
