About Millstream Home

Millstream Home was created as an ode to our Amish heritage. My husband Jake was raised in an Amish home until he was 16 years old and I was raised in a large family stitched with rich Amish heritage.

in 2016 we began tracking down the most talented and timeless local makers still using historic production methods. Our makers live simple lives and create beautiful products. We believe that American Made Matters and that supporting the local maker is always worth it.

When you make a purchase from Millstream Home, you directly support each Maker and their family here in our Hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Our Amish basket weavers, quilters, toymakers, our seamstress and potters, blacksmiths and leather makers, candlemakers and broom weavers.

Each piece is made in someone’s shop or shed, or garage turned craft room. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. No elaborate factories here, just a hard days work and a life spent doing what we love.
