Yahoo!

Yahoo! sent me an email today informing me that Amish Acres General Store, with its four star plus rating, up there with Nordstroms, ranks in the upper 8% of all Yahoo! Stores, the top rating of any store selling Amish related products. In 1998 there were 1,000 merchants using Yahoo! Shopping, a little over a year later there were 6,000. Today the total is north of 100,000 and millions of visitors spend billions of dollars shopping on Yahoo!, making it the number one portal shopping site according to Nielsen.

We call it "Newfangled Shopping the Old Fashioned Way." Who would have imagined nearly four decades ago when Amish Acres started selling apple butter, maple syrup, and egg noodles, that we would now be selling these locally made products around the world via an invention called the Internet. Not Edison.
