We learned about Ervin Byler from our friend, Jenn Green. Ervin is the founder, (it seems) of Meadowview Kitchen in Farwell, MI (near Clare, MI). Since he is Amish, we would call and leave a message on a voicemail, and a day or two later he would call back. We had sent him our list of cabinets, and several weeks later he sent us back a quote. It looks like the quote was typed with a typewriter on a printed form!
We liked the quote, so we planned on visiting on April 10. As fate would have it, that is when we landed in official COVID isolation (we had tested positive on either Apr. 6 or Apr. 11). So we had to postpone it until April 24. Below are some photos of that delightful visit!

He took us into his office and showroom.

Then we got a tour of the workshop! We had learned earlier that some Amish communities allow machines to be used when it's part of a profession. So that's why you do so a lot of modern equipment in the workshop. Ervin said he usually has about 10 people working for him.
