I can attest first-hand that an Amish farm in the middle of winter often feels like the coldest place on earth.  There's little escape from the cold unless you can get around the stove.  There you'll find a cozy circle of warmth, but that's about it. That's what autumn is such a treasured time on Amish farms. You aren't quite into the freezer of winter, yet the huge amount of summer chores are basically done and after the first frost, the harvest shuts down. So right now, on many Amish farms, it is an enjoyable time. Here are 5 Autumn Amish Farmhouse Recipes that make the season all the more tasty!

🚢 ANNA MILLER'S SHIPWRECK

 This recipe comes from Dundee, Ohio and it is for something called "Shipwreck."  I used to see recipes for Shipwrecks in Amish cookbooks all the time.  There are various explanations for how the recipe gets its name, but all the recipes are pretty similar, a hearty, meat and potato dish.
