What a fun visit this was for us. We enjoyed walking through the shops in Muddy Pond. There were many interesting items on the shelves. Much of the items for sale weren’t made locally but were from other Amish and Mennonite settlements in other states. The packaging and the products were interesting to look at. This was definitely worth a trip to. We didn’t find the people in the stores at all rude as indicated in a previous post. They were friendly and business-like. This was a fun visit.

Pros: This store is fun to visit with some amazing things for sale especially upstairs. Cons: The girl who helped us didn’t seem very happy or nice. She was a little rude and avoided eye contact. The woman in the leather shop(next door) is very rude. I’ve been here more than once & she’s awful every time. It’s such a beautiful place, it’s too bad that these gals can’t get happy. Their business would probably make more money if they would improve their customer service.

Loved the store and the whole shabang! Lots of neat stuff… I’d defiantly go back… worth seeing.

Went to Muddy Pond two years ago, with great experience. This one entirely different. Workers rude, most items no longer hand made. Worse part was the Grocery store, where we ordered a hamburger($ 6.25 for frozen, George Foreman grilled, burger). After 45 minute wait, decided to move on, as it was obvious the cook was overwhelmed. We politely asked for our money back and was met with rudeness. The«cook» said he could only give us our cost for the burgers but not our tax back. We remained calm, and accepted the partial refund rather than make a scene. It made us wonder if the«Mennonites» have left the area or if stealing and being rude is accepted in their religion. Do not recommend this area, unless you want to overpay for items you can get in a local Walmart. What a shame, used to be a nice, unique experience. On a positive note, the sorghum is still made at the mill, but has become a pricey item as well.

If you’ve never been to a Mennonite grocery store, then you’re totally missing out. I’ve been to a few, and Muddy Pond ranks up there as one of the best. They have gobs and gobs of spices, seasoning, canned(in jars), and other cooking/baking goods. I can look through spices and seasonings for hours, so I was in heaven! The store is very busy, as I’m sure it’s reputation precedes it. However, the check out line run by a young woman in the community ran fast and friendly. Be sure to head upstairs to see crafts like quilts, rocking chairs, baskets and various sewn products. Also, there’s a couple of friendly dogs who roam the parking lot who are worth visiting, as well. Surprisingly, they take debit/credit cards! The only thing that would make this place better is if they had homemade baked goods. All I saw were fried pies.

Landmark of Muddy Pond. Baking goods and supplies, cheeses, meats, household supplies bulk foods, Amish crafts and furniture, quilts and handmade pottery and being in the midst of the ever humble, simple Mennonite community are just a handful of reasons to visit this area. If you can get to Monterey, you can find the way to the General Store. This is a great place to take a family trip for a couple of hours or to take visitors to the country and inside rural Tennessee.
