Amish Country Store & Maid-Rite Diner

Nestled just off I-35 at Exit 4, the family-run Amish Country Store & Maid-Rite Diner in Lamoni, Iowa is a beloved roadside oasis and official Iowa Welcome Center. ? Inside the timber-scented storefront, shelves brim with Amish-made jams, jellies, honey, pickles, bulk candies, hand-stitched aprons, woven baskets, heirloom quilts, and the store’s signature brightly painted barn quilts. Many of our beautiful pieces are sourced from local Amish artisans, preserving craftsmanship and sustaining the rural community. Hungry travelers can slide next door for a loose-meat classic or broasted chicken at the on-site Maid-Rite, an Iowa institution since 1926. EV drivers recharge at one of the nation’s first V4 Tesla Superchargers—350 kW stalls in the parking lot—making this one of the fastest public charger in Iowa. With clean restrooms, picnic tables, a dog-walk area, maps, and friendly staff ready with road-trip tips, the stop blends small-town hospitality with big-time convenience. Whether you’re cruising between Kansas City and Des Moines or shopping online for handmade Americana décor, the Amish Country Store offers Midwest warmth and one-of-a-kind finds in store and at amishstoreiowa.com.
