More about Annie: Annie is originally from Pittsburgh PA and moved to Ohio in 1965 to attend Ashland College – now a University. She now living on a 56 acre farm raising Holsteins!

Annie majored in Health and Physical Education and taught in the public schools for 3 years. She then went into sales of cars and caps and gowns and then into print sales. a major car accident in 1976 changed her thinking – “I realized life is short and I needed to do what would make me happy.”

She worked for a printing company and eventually started her own company (28 years ago – just closed in October) which allowed her the freedom to set her own schedule and lead a less stressed life – like the Amish. She started Annie’s Amish Baskets in December 2000 and sold her first basket on Christmas eve.
