INSIDE A MINNESOTA AMISH HOME & STORE (17 PHOTOS)

Posted on April 21, 2023 in Amish Homes

So here we have an Amish home-and-store package way up in northern Minnesota.
They’re selling both buildings together. I doubt they’re leaving behind the
contents of the store. But we can still take a look at what’s inside both the
home and store in these photos. There are a cluster of Amish communities in the
the top […]

“HE KNEW WE NEEDED HANNAH” | AMISH FAMILY REFLECTS ON BUGGY CRASH, GRATEFUL FOR
SUPPORT

Posted on April 18, 2023 in Buggy Accidents

A month ago, two Amish children lost their lives when the pony pulling their
cart apparently bolted in front of an oncoming car. Eleven-year-old Rachel
Miller, and her brother, 7-year-old Samuel, perished in the accident. Their
sister Hannah was thrown from the cart, but survived. West Michigan station WOOD
TV8 has spoken with Hannah’s parents […]

AMISH AVOID JAIL IN BUGGY LIGHTS CASE. BUT THE “SOLUTION” MIGHT ONLY ESCALATE
THINGS

Posted on April 17, 2023 in Amish Controversies

Twenty-six members of the Amish community appeared in Ashland Municipal Court
Friday to address fines levied against them for refusing to comply with Ohio’s
new law requiring flashing lights on animal-drawn vehicles. At a hearing in
January, the judge suggested that jail time would be coming in April if the
fines were not paid. Predictably, […]

INSIDE A NO-FRILLS AMISH HOME: 4 BEDROOMS, 0 BATHROOMS (24 PHOTOS)

Posted on April 14, 2023 in Amish Homes

So here we return to New York for a look at an Amish home that just appeared on
Zillow a day ago. On first glance I must admit I wasn’t sure if it was an
Amish-owned home (note the old-school TV antenna on top), but that it is. It’s
simply a home that was previously […]

FIVE LESSER-KNOWN BUT LARGE-ISH AMISH COMMUNITIES

Posted on April 13, 2023 in Amish Communities

Large Amish communities and those with a tourist focus (often one and the same)
tend to get the most attention. Places like Holmes County, Ohio, Arthur,
Illinois, and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania are both well-known and
frequently-visited. There are also a number of sizeable Amish communities out
there that are overlooked. They are more off-the-beaten path, […]

FIVE MONEY-SAVING TIPS FROM THE AMISH (FOOD & MORE)

Posted on April 11, 2023 in Amish Food

With inflation and the cost of things like food having gone up a ton in the past
year or two, I decided to put together a few money-saving tips practiced by the
Amish. Three of these have to do with saving on food bills, and two of them are
for general money-saving (tips & video […]

HOW THE PLAINEST AMISH USE MAYTAG WRINGER WASHERS

Our contributor who shared posts on how the plainest Amish heat water and the
glove-drying rack is back today with some video showing how wringer washers work
in these most traditional Amish homes. The wringer washer is the most common
implement the Amish use to do their laundry. But without electricity, how to
they run […]

AMISH TIKTOK STAR PROMOTES “WILD” VERSION OF RUMSPRINGA

Posted on March 29, 2023 in Amish Controversies

A new cast member on the “reality” show Return to Amish named Johnny Detweiler
has been sharing his wild Rumspringa life on TikTok. He has amassed a good-sized
following of over 100,000 followers (I expect that will likely double or triple
as the show has just started a new season). I’m not too keen on […]

THE AMISH ARE LEAVING SOUTH DAKOTA (UPDATED)

Posted on March 27, 2023 in Amish Communities

About six weeks ago, I came across two Amish homes for sale in the community of
Tripp, South Dakota (the only Amish location in the state). It seemed then that
it might mean the Amish are leaving. Then just recently, I found a third Amish
home for sale in the community. This is in an […]

ARE THE AMISH RUDE?

Posted on March 20, 2023 in Amish Culture

In a recent article by Mary Swander, writing for the Iowa Capital Dispatch, she
describes receiving an abruptly direct call from someone Amish. I found this of
interest because it raises the question of whether the Amish could be described
as more rude – or lacking manners – compared with your average Americans. And if

“DRIVERLESS” AMISH BUGGY CRASHES AFTER TWO-MILE RIDE

Posted on March 15, 2023 in Buggy Accidents

I have to admit when I saw the headline of this story (“Driverless Amish buggy
crashes in Watertown”), the first thing that came to mind were driverless cars.
Had Amish in some under-the-radar settlement stealthily adopted battery-powered
self-driving buggies when no one was looking? Some Amish absorb change faster
than others…but that would be quite […]

3 WAYS THE AMISH COOK FOOD

Posted on March 13, 2023 in Amish Food

In this video, I look at the different ways Amish prepare food (specifically,
how they generate the heat for cooking & baking – if you’re looking for things
like Amish recipes and food prep techniques, this is not that topic 🙂 ). I go
through three main ways they do so: Wood-burning cookstoves – Amish use […]

AMISH YOUTH SING “I’M ON THE WINNING SIDE” (VIDEO)

Posted on March 8, 2023 in Amish Culture

Here’s a nice recording by P. Thomas of a group of Amish youth singing the hymn
“I Am On The Winning Side” somewhere in Ohio (I assume Holmes County). It’s been
quite a while since I’ve shared an Amish singing video. This is a nice one for a
return to the topic. This is a […]

A VISIT TO ENOS GINGERICH’S FURNITURE SHOP

I recently put out a video from my visit to Enos Gingerich’s outdoor furniture
shop in the Swartzentruber Amish settlement at Ellenboro, NC. You might recall
Enos from the video on my visit to his wife’s soap and lotion shop, previous
posts on his community, or the video on southern accents among the Amish. In […]

this. But why am I writing about this? Well first – what prompted this post.
Pennsylvania state police are reporting arrests in a burglary ring which

SIX REASONS WHY PEOPLE FAIL TO JOIN THE AMISH

Posted on January 11, 2023 in Amish Beliefs

After 15+ years of writing a blog on the Amish, from time to time I still hear
from people who wish to become Amish. I usually advise people to take a look at
what is attracting them to want to join the Amish. Often, I suspect, the real
reasons have little to do with the […]
