Our Team

Our Team: Family Owned and Operated

Bud Goss and Laura Armstrong-Goss started their business with the support of their family in 1998.  They have a hand in every aspect of the Amish Craftsmen Guild: designing the furniture with our Amish Crafters, transporting furniture, and collaborating with our customers to design their outdoor dream spaces.  

Along with their daughters Amanda and Stacie, their Grandson Gabriel, and the support of their daughters’ families, they have been able to grow and support their community. They supply quality, handcrafted, fully-assembled, sustainable outdoor furniture, creating jobs and donating many pieces to local nonprofit organizations.  

Their goal is to be socially and environmentally responsible while staying close to their family roots and sustaining a valuable part of American Culture.
