Our Story;
We began our journey by introducing authentic Ethiopian food to the Fairfield Community as food vendors at Fairfield’s Saturday Farmers Markets in the summer of 2010. While working as vendors we received feedback from our customers that they would like to see us open a restaurant so they can enjoy our food any day of the week. With that in mind, we received the opportunity to serve at the Holy Spirit Church on Thursdays during lunch. This was a small step forward however, we knew we wanted to give our customers more. In 2015, we began serving at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center 5 days a week. Our service has attracted customers not only in Fairfield but from all over Iowa. Sharing the Ethiopian food and culture with the Fairfield community has been a great joy, and we are thrilled to continue to do so.

Our most popular dish?
The Cider House
Traditional American Food and Hard Cider
(641) 980-0423
The menu at the the Cider House focuses on simple pub fare, with burgers, fish and chips, French fries, potato salad, and coleslaw. “We have a very simple menu,” says co-owner Cole Fishback. “It’s very American cuisine based, very Iowa based. It’s simple, but high quality, well made, and satisfying.”
Everything is made fresh, from scratch. The beef for the burgers is all local, grassfed beef, grown and processed in Jefferson County. Fishback has created a veggie burger loved by vegetarians and meat eaters alike, and hopes to perfect a vegan, gluten-free version. Most things on the menu are gluten free.
The Cider House serves a range of drinks, including their in-house hard cider, another cider brewed in Iowa, beer from Kalona and the Amana Colonies, and a variety of whiskeys.

A unique opportunity to see wood craftsmanship at its finest awaits the visitor to the Johnny Clock Museum located just outside the town of Lockridge. This museum is owned and operated by John and Pat McClain and contains many unusual carvings which also just happen to be functioning clocks. What makes this so intriguing is that the artisan(John) works not from blueprints but from ideas formulated in his head. Since his youth, John was dyslexic and unable to draw plans to paper but his memory of his past is crystal clear and his ability to carve in wood brings those memories to life in the form of decorative clocks. Well over 100000 + hours of work are displayed in the ever-expanding collection. The museum is easy to find just off newly Highway 34 halfway between Fairfield and Mt Pleasant and it will also give you a chance to see the town of Lockridge (named for the ridges over Lick and Wolf creeks which appear to “lock” on the map. So if you are looking for a good “time” and something new to do, take the “time” to see the “time” at the Johnny Clock Museum.
Hours:
May-August, Monday – Friday 9:00 AM – 5:00
