This month, Swiss Country Lawn and Crafts is celebrating 35 years of business. To commemorate the remarkable milestone, we're taking a look back at the family-owned business's humble beginnings and sharing how you can continue to support their success. 

In 1989, the Mast family opened Swiss Country when they began selling lawn furniture in their front lawn. The family's first trailer load sold in one weekend and the resounding success inspired the Mast family to continue selling furniture. Over the years, the Mast family's dedication and hard work earned them continued success, resulting in the expansion to Swiss Country's current home into its beautiful 6,200-square-foot showroom in Sugar Creek. 

While the business's original weekend sale consisted of lawn furniture built in Lancaster, PA, today they are happy to provide quality lawn furniture made by their Amish friends in Holmes County. In addition to handcrafted lawn furniture, Swiss Country offers poly furniture from Luxcraft. Made with recycled plastic jugs, stainless steel screws and a lifetime warranty, this durable furniture will enhance any space in your backyard. Luxcraft products include chairs, rockers, tables of all sizes, swings and more.

Because the Swiss Country team understands that everyone needs that perfect structure to beautify their backyard space, they also offer gazebos, pavilions, pergolas and playground sets. With the right structure and the right furniture, your backyard space can become a space that the entire family enjoys.

Most of these lawn furniture and outdoor home products are located outside of Swiss Country, so you can immediately begin browsing their selection upon your arrival. Step inside their shop to view seasonal displays, a large variety of candles, botanicals, clocks and numerous décor items. The Swiss Country team spends countless hours arranging displays to reflect both trending and traditional décor, providing both timeless and contemporary products. Further, Swiss Country is always changing and revamping these décor displays to best reflect the time of year. Whether it's spring, summer, fall or winter, they do their best to provide quality décor that will enhance your home and create a space that is warm and inviting for all.

Some of their fall displays feature wall art, vases and baskets laden with pumpkins, autumn candles galore, tableware adorned with the warm hues of the season, faux greenery and florals, gourmet food items that emphasize the hearty flavors of fall and Thanksgiving-inspired goods to prepare your home for the season of feeling thankful. You can also find clocks of all kinds — from vintage-inspired timepieces to those embellished with Swarovski crystals — Potpourri, wind chimes and gifts for babies and children. 

Between Swiss Country's vast selection of home décor and outdoor living products, there's something for everyone to find at the family-owned and operated business. Plus, since Swiss Country is commemorating its 35th anniversary this month, they will be hosting a celebration bash on Friday, Sept. 13 and Saturday, Sept. 14. The two-day event will include fantastic deals and product specials, live music, food trucks and more. 

Visit Swiss Country at 2131 State Route 39, Sugarcreek. They are open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can learn more about the Mast family and view online catalogs of Swiss Country's offerings at SwissCountryLawn.com.
