In July 2014, we proudly purchased Shady Crest Market from the Lonnie Yoder family. As a Mennonite family-owned business, we are dedicated to serving our community and visitors with integrity, fair prices, and exceptional service. We aim to provide a shopping experience with a wide selection of unique products you may not find anywhere else.

Our family consists of four children: Tyson, Kendra, Trevor, and Jordan. Wilbur works full-time at Gingerich Farms, assisting at the market during the busy season. LeAnn, a homemaker, manages the store daily. Tyson works at Tri-County Welding and seasonally at Gingerich Farms, helping with store maintenance and keeping the outdoor area looking its best.

Kendra lives with her husband and children in Provo, Utah, where she serves her community by helping people feel God’s love and care. 

Our team includes a dedicated group of employees, mostly Mennonites and Amish, who work together to run the store professionally, friendly, and efficiently.

We’re committed to offering our customers various products, focusing on finding the unique items you may be searching for that aren’t available elsewhere.

Shady Crest is proud to continue growing and serving the communities of central Illinois. Stop by to taste the difference—we’d love to meet you and provide exceptional service.
