Now with over 5000 products Cottage Craft Works .com is your alternative for all types of Off-Grid, Non-Electric products for self-sufficient living. Hand crank appliances, non-electric lights, solar, hand water pumps, treadle sewing and push garden cultivators are just a few of the products available at CCW.

Cottage Craft Works is a full online old fashioned style General Store featuring Amish and non-Amish back-to-basics products from the small cottage based industries and businesses. These are the people who manufacture and use their products in a self-sufficient lifestyle.

Products are made to last a lifetime destined to become family heirlooms and tomorrows antiques. Products still made like they were in the late 1800s-1900s are still being reproduced and used today; products are available to the general consumer at Cottage Craft Works .com.

You will be amazed at the amount and types of products used by the Amish that may not be available anywhere else. The old time general store was the main source for everything needed for the home, farm, and ranch. If you needed dry goods, freshly ground flour, furniture, farm and garden tools, a new sewing machine or a kitchen tool you would likely find it at the general store.

Cottage Craft Works brings back the nostalgia without having to ever leave home. Instead of just looking at a thumbnail picture to make an online purchasing decision, Cottage Craft Works tries to provide various photos and detailed description of their products.

The unique drop down boxes at the bottom of the product pages allows a customer to custom build, size, or select a finish of their own product.

Cottage Craft Works provides several wood working kits with the hardware to build your own products. The Buckboard Seat and Wagon Seat hardware kits are customer favorites. Other wood working kits includes a complete Purple Martin houses and a reproduction J & P Coats spool cabinet. They just recently added the wagon gear and complete metal hardware kit to build a pony cart.

You can find all types of non motorized garden tools, from an Amish hand forged garden hoe, sickle bar hoe to The HOSS Wheel Hoe, a reproduction of the famous Planet Junior cultivator. Find garden hauling spraying and weeding options here as well.

If you have a large garden and want to stick with a tractor, Cottage Craft Works also carries several compact three point hitch implements, one of customer favorites is the Garden Row Builder, it quickly mounds up the soil to make garden rows for planting.

Dont have a tractor with a three point hitch? No problem, you can even find a three point fifth wheel adapter to use compact three point implements on an ATV or small garden tractor.

Rollaway egg nesting boxes are specially designed to allow eggs to roll forward into an upfront holding tray to keep them safe from chickens stepping on or pecking at them. These are high quality galvanized metal nesting boxes built in an Amish metal shop, they are built to last!

Cooking off grid can be simplified if you have the right equipment. Cottage Craft Works carries heavy duty Stainless Steel cookware and cast iron pots and pans for indoor and outdoor cooking along with outdoor fire pits and grills. CCW carries the popular hand crank Little Dutch Maid Mixer. A mixer designed by the Amish to use Bosh attachments for home and large scale mixing and processing at Amish weddings. Just recently added; a hand crank conversion Kitchen Aide mixer.

A very popular Stainless Steel commercial size drain board is perfect alongside the kitchen sink to wash large pots, pans, and cooking utensils. The drain board serves double duty to wash and drain fresh vegetables.

Stainless Steel products and cookers to make maple syrup can be found under the Food Processing Equipment tab as well as dairy processing equipment, apple cider/wine presses, and ice cream freezers.

You can find new and innovative products made by the Amish that can only be found at Cottage Craft Works such as spinning brush to go into a power drill to quickly clean the hard to remove silk off of sweet corn ears.

Newly added are Amish certified organic grains, flours and cereals. CCW also carries several of the top grain mills including the Family Grain Mill System and the GrainMaker.

The Janome 712T treadle sewing machine has become very popular for both on-gird and off-grid users. It will do the zig zags and all the other things of an electric machine but at a slower speed which many people like much better. You can also obtain a custom sewing cabinet for the 712T from a large desk model to a simple reproduction look of the old time and popular Singer sewing cabinets.

Off-Grid solar panels and solar charging kits provide backup power and can be integrated into battery table lamps, inverters to supply A/C power and even a 12 volt submersible water well pump.

STOP THE HORSES!!!!!! An answer to Lehman's. I am SO hoping the stock is affordable and so excited that you shared this. Thank you a million times. Can't wait to tell Lee about this. We went off grid, on farm last November and need all the help we can get.

Thanks, OP, for sharing.

Hi Liz, I have been trying to get to your website, but google can't seem to find it. I am interested in a cabinet for my Janome treadle machine, and it appears you have an Amish option which I would love to know more about. Thanks!
