We’re in south central MO and the Amish here are very conservative, no covered wagons, no utilities (electric, gas, water) or indoor plumbing. They are allowed one manual pump faucet in the kitchen. What’s neat is there are people (English) who live out by them that have small sheds/buildings and the keep a cell phone and ice machines for the Amish to use to call for rides or help. We love our Amish around here, they actually out number the English. All the stores and businesses have hitching posts and lean to’s for their buggies. We greatly admire them and can/do learn a lot from them.
@@theoryofpersonality1420 Who is the tractor owner? and I might take that bet. Our central PA market has a supermarket (market store) with an walk in freezer. The town fathers make allowances/give permission to allow such things, even a landline phone for a business (guess) if it is a necessity. We view their lifestyle positively, however, devotion to God is but one aspect. I grew up (i am not amish) with being fair. As opposed to Jewish business and their "maximize profit" view. Amish, IMO, follow that and it seems wrong to me. Long discussion I do not wish to continue. As for permission, one year farming and weather caused one group someplace to permit tractors to do the harvest (else crops would be lost), whereas their way is with horses.
PS that store has propane lighting, and fans that run by air tubes. Recently they got electronic cash registers, thus can process electronic payments of welfare people (English customers). Oh, now I see the 'where men pee' video. My summers we had a cottage on Staten Island with an ice box and an outhouse. Yup, no running water. No big deal.
@@cliffontheroad I've been to almost every Amish farm if not every Amish farm on the east coast. They have have tractors and they use them all year. The also have telephones outside.
You taking us through your childhood Amish home was so fun! Hearing your memories and feeling your love for your family made it extra special. I expected it to be a lot more sparse and was surprised at how comfy and homey it is. Thank you!
@the amish potato I made the recipe for it that you sent with my belt for Easter. My kids and grandkids made me make more! You're doing an amazing job with the videos, as is Miranda.
I live in PA. I love the Amish area. In the fall, I would always take my 3rd Grade students to visit an Amish farm and learn about their customs. There was beautiful autumn foliage. The students were so amazed that they had no electricity and lived a very simple life. It made me appreciate all the conveniences with which we are surrounded . I was impressed with the modernization of your home, I noticed that you were not dressed in Amish clothing. Is that something that is permitted now? Thanks for sharing.
I wasn't raised Amish but when I was young, in the 60s we had a ringer washer. I remember getting both arms in the ringer. I haven't thought about that in many years, until I heard this video. I don't remember the pain nearly as much as the panic having both arms stuck and not being able to do anything about it! Thanks for bringing a memory that makes me smile!
Thanks for the tour. Nice house! The Amish in my hometown area in W Wisc are conservative and can have running cold water, no hot, and the bathroom is outside! Never saw white curtains, which make the house brighter and cheery, versus the normal blue or black. Take good care of mammi! :)
I'm a grown woman much older than you. I recall washing my doll's clothes in a wringer washing machine. As I put the clothes through the wringer my right arm went with them. The wringer took my arm to about the middle. I screamed and my mom put the wringer in reverse. Yow! That hurt. I had some black and blue marks but it healed in good time. Thanks for the tour!
I really enjoyed this. Your family’s home is a lot like the Amish homes where we used to live. We’re not Amish, but we lived in an area where all of our neighbors were. ( Central Michigan area) That LED light is a great idea! I gave my neighbors some outdoor solar lanterns to use in their basement bedrooms, but that would have worked much better.
Very nice house. That's how most newer ones look in Lancaster County. Their houses are so beautiful. And some still live in the older houses as well. It's cool you can still visit and relive some of your childhood memories. I grew up in an old farm house, it was pretty nice. Remember we had to use a Wood stove to heat the whole house, but till we had the wood stove my dad would use a kerosene heater, warmed the downstairs nice upstairs not so much. I remember the good old radios. Had an antenna that you had to swing around to get it to come one. I also listened to country music. Still do, but miss the old country songs. Miranda did a good job helping with the video.
What beautiful memories. An nice house y'all r lucky to have been able to add on a built an fix stuff. My dad was the same way.. he built our house up from an unfinished house turnd barn animals house. To a 10 room finished 3 story house. An the owners that bought it back in 96 turnd my old bedroom into the bathroom an the drive way thru the old garden 😂❤
Thanks for the tour! My grandparents had a wringer washer until 1974. I would watch her doing laundry and they had a great big wardrobe that they put shelves in it so they could store the jars of food they would put up.
Wow so modern!!! Our Amish in NY ... not so much...usually the loo is connected to the house... but no flush there!!!.. one sink in the kitchen.. near the wood stove so is easier to get the water in the resivour to heat...for dishes etc... a huge kettle in the wash room to heat water for baths.. a water tub for cows/horses is used... then poured down the drain as is the water from the washer... fired by a gasoline engine...a wringer washer... Y’all must have had a very progressive Bishop!!!.. and overstuffed furniture ?...only Amish rocking chairs .. in most of the houses. here... Love that battery powered light!!!.. I’ll have to tell my Amish Family abt that!!!! Thanks for the tour!!!
Gravity fed furnaces are awesome. My buddy had one in his last house, he upgraded everything in that house except that old gas furnace. I remember how hot the air would come out of the vents. Also I just wanted to say I just got a old wringer washer, as I've always wanted to try one out.
In Lancaster Pennsylvania , l don't think the Amish have electricity. The homes are plain . I think they are more conservative. I love the house. My dream house is a farmhouse . 1983 is not an old house to me .Houses built before 1920 are old houses to me . 🏘 that have decades of history. Houses built before l was born . Your family home has that cozy ,comforting, and welcoming look . I love it . Have you ever done a video about Amish Folklore ? I saw stuff on the Travel Channel, an Amish Haunting, but l don't know how accurate the producers were .
I rented a house that still had decorative grated vents in the ceiling downstairs into the floor upstairs that heat was allowed to just naturally go up. My current home, there is no duct work upstairs. It has an open stairway and as long as the doors are open upstairs the heating system we have in the basement heats both upstairs and downstairs without issue. It was so nice to see your parents home. Would be delightful to meet the entire family if they would agree to it. If not, that's ok too. Tell them we think they did an incredible job raising you and in turn you raising Miranda. It was lovely to see how big Miranda is getting from her reflection in the mirror. I have missed the last couple lives but hope to get back on track. My first auto payment came out for the Amish Rescue. Not much but if any of you reading can help out every dollar counts! God bless you and yours!
Tina, my 1895 house is that way with floor grates. Another one uses the stairway. Neither was an Amish house, but the 1940's furnance has no electrical components (fan.) Impossibe to get parts for the valve/burners from the store.
Modernized Amish. Northern PA and they don't live like this here. Rip every piece of electricity out of a home when they purchase one. Bath once a week, use ice to keep things frozen and if stores need any source of electricity, they will use a generator. No phones at all, they will usually have a line run to a tiny shed on a neighbors property or just go to a neighbors house to use theirs. Pay people for transportation or horse n buggy only. Strict curfews. Actually still living pretty Amish here.
I am always struck but the lack of clutter and excess. If most people have an "extra" room it is filled with stuff. I would imagine it makes cleaning so much easier. I think a lot of people could benefit from a more simple lifestyle.
Yes I agree 100%. In this community, having a clean house is the women's number 1 priority. Probably mostly because of what others may think if they come to visit. But yeah less clutter, easier to clean.
Depends on the Order as to what they hold to. We have had several Amish move in to our community here in WV. They buy homes. Turnoff the power and remove electric appliances. But they use the already existing city running water system. They hire drivers. Most here do construction work with roofing and decking. Bakery items are brought to the Farmers Market.
???I’ve lived with Amish, long-term. I peed in the heisli (outhouse), the toilet if I was in a place that had one, in the chamberpot if need be and emptied it in the morning, and sometimes in the woods or back pasture if nobody was around!
Whoa! It is some size!! Will the house be handed down then after your parents, to the next generation? Or will it be sold? I guess it would be worth a fair bit. How much land does it all have with it, and what kind of crops if they have any? Thanks CJ it is a beautiful place.
New info, for me anyway. I attended an estate auction this weekend of a plain man (aka Amish) which I will label as delightful. Very few "English" in the crowd of 300. Food was paid by donation "for widows". The husband had died. The men were interested in the tools and the women in the housewares. Some tools were corded, and there was a portable generator. He built wood things. The refrigerator in the house ran on bottled gas. The washing machine was the type which can be converted to run by a motor, but I will not get into that here. What was most interesting is a room inside the house, in the back, which had a 12 inch wide door and the plastic covered wire clothes line fed through the door edge. Makes sense, right? Long clothes lines and a wind mill are signs of an Amish house. Bathroom looked modern but the property had on-site water and sewer. 2 heaters were coal/wood, I think. Maybe LPN
In the beginning of the video, in the kitchen, hanging from the ceiling, it looks like there’s a small cymbal on a bracket. Why? What is the purpose? I suspect it is used to call every one to dinner. It struck me funny to see such a sight. 😊
✨Subbed!✨ Sending you all a huge hug! I just loved this video.. Your sisters definitely ARE up on all the latest styles! Nice job. I enjoyed this video so much. I was laughing about the radio thing, When we were in boarding school I traded for a TV from one of the other houses, our house had ZERO reception, but it seemed like a great trade at the time. SO I sent my girlfriend up on the roof with wire, tin foil and a coat hanger I think. FINALLY something blipped on the screen! I said OK PERFECT! Right there Joey! Don't move! I was picturing the look on her face because I KNEW she was standing there HOLDING the thing in the air, I could just picture her face. I was laughing so hard. I still laugh about that today. Well, we were in apple country, hills and valleys, there probably wasn't the greatest reception in ANYBODY'S house! Good times! And thanks so much. I'm going to find your radio video I want to know what you had. ✨Bless your family, you sound like a fun wonderful bunch, and have a lovely home ✨🕊💖
@@neoanderson726 looks like you’ll have to take a road trip. What battery system do you want it for? Maybe next time I’m in the area I can see how much they are
@@theamishpotato hmm I do not know ... I'll do some research . Thank you so much . Trying to keep my electric bill down they just tripled their prices here in NH
Around here in NY there would be no running water, no sinks, no carpet, no battery operated lights, no indoor toilets, the houses would not look like that nice. The buggies have no lights, reflectors, nothing. They truly live in the 1700s.
I have books that I read about things that can want in the Amish life and was always intrigued but none of them ever showed it like you do it was always just a story. I'm definitely interested in buying those lights if you can tell me who makes them
What a question!! If you're going to see where women pee, where's the outhouse? I remember using Dawdy's/Dody's 2 seater outhouse before they had inside plumbing. If the women are working in the gardens they can use the outhouse. We can pee outside like a man if you're hiking or driving down the road, squat or run into the woods. Was that Savanah on the couch? You didn't show Dody's bentwood rocker. I missed getting mine at Dody's estate auction years ago. It was the best fitting rocker ever. Hope your construction is doing good.
I probably can. I am a little hesitant as I don't want the public to recognize and harass my parents, but the only people who would recognize where they live are probably good people. So maybe someday. I did show the inside of the barn in the video "How Amish Men Pee"
@@theamishpotato I completely understand. I wasn’t thinking I guess when I commented. So sorry, and no problem. This was a great video. It just helps connect me with more of the Amish. My words probably do not make sense, but I hope you know what I mean. I don’t want you to do anything disrespectful. Not asking for that! Have a great week.
Though I am sure there are ones that do that, but there are a lot that like my Amish friends that take great care of their horses and other animals. Amish are people with good ones and bad ones, just don't judge all of them the same. It's like in the "English" world we have good people and bad ones. But we are not judge by the actions of our neighbors, so why should the Amish be judge by the actions of their neighbors.
I take exception to the comment "Amish are very clean"... I worked in a ER near an amish community. They in general stunk and it was not because of lack of deodorant, it was dirt and food and whatever on their clothing! They were nasty and there is no way in the world I would have eaten any of the "delicious food" they sold! If they were that dirty, imagine what the house looked like!
My understanding no electricity refrigerators ? Confused Mennonite they drive ect ect used to drive trucks a bunch of Amish kids were there with a younger man with a beard they were staring at me like I was the devil in carnet lol ( had long hair maybe the hair?
Yeah maybe the hair. I cant speak for them but we as kids always had the impression that long haired guys, Harley guys, or anyone driving a pre 1995 van(especially black ones) were people who would do us harm. We are all very surprised when we grow up to find these people to be some of the kindest and giving people alive. And now I own a 1991 Chevy G20 Kidnapper Van😂

Bet he has a tractor though.

Great walk through your childhood home it was great that your father could expand and build more rooms upstairs as needed.
What a treat to see your family home. Nice to see the pride you have in it. And nothing is better than Church Peanut Butter!
Its so gooooood.

I remember stomping clothes in the bath tub as a kid and running them through a wringer with my step mom. Not Amish though :)
You don’t have to use an ugly clickbait title; you stories are nice and enough. How lucky to have had a stable family!

Very nice home. Interesting to me to see how you lived so well off the grid.
That house is more modern than the Amish homes in my area. They all use wood to heat their homes.
North central PA and the Amish still live like old school Amish. This is definitely modernized Amish living.

We had an outhouse but no one ever used it except maybe dad. My siblings now have a bidet in the upstairs bathroom😋
@@theamishpotato a bidet? Fancy
Nice house.
I didn’t know Amish people had electric refrigerators
Would you be able to do a video of the outside? The perimeter? Did you have Barn’s etc.? Maybe you already have and I missed it
I probably can. I am a little hesitant as I don't want the public to recognize and harass my parents, but the only people who would recognize where they live are probably good people. So maybe someday. I did show the inside of the barn in the video "How Amish Men Pee"
@@theamishpotato I completely understand. I wasn’t thinking I guess when I commented. So sorry, and no problem. This was a great video. It just helps connect me with more of the Amish. My words probably do not make sense, but I hope you know what I mean. I don’t want you to do anything disrespectful. Not asking for that! Have a great week.
Nice place
Doesn't everyone pee in a toilet?
I have been reading lately that the Amish are very abusive to their poor horses & basically work them to death. 🐎
Though I am sure there are ones that do that, but there are a lot that like my Amish friends that take great care of their horses and other animals. Amish are people with good ones and bad ones, just don't judge all of them the same. It's like in the "English" world we have good people and bad ones. But we are not judge by the actions of our neighbors, so why should the Amish be judge by the actions of their neighbors.
I take exception to the comment "Amish are very clean"... I worked in a ER near an amish community. They in general stunk and it was not because of lack of deodorant, it was dirt and food and whatever on their clothing! They were nasty and there is no way in the world I would have eaten any of the "delicious food" they sold! If they were that dirty, imagine what the house looked like!
👌👍
Was generally speaking about Amish in northern Indiana but of course there are exceptions
Indiana Amish are fancy
Don’t tell anyone… ! It’s all over YT.
Yep,me 😀😀(Naaman)
Since when do Amish have electricity? Not in PA.
Definitely not in North Central PA. They are still strict about their rules.
That was a battery light
@@theamishpotato still electric
👍👍
wow this is like amish lite not pure amish
Nice home. What's up with the title of your video?
clickbait
@@theamishpotato so annoying
My Grandmother broke her are in the ringer, late 1950s.
Surprised they use plastic utensils.Plastic is a modern item.
The point is not about modern materials, it’s about staying simple and close to home and family.
Okay. So that one bathroom is where the women go, but where do the guys go
You haven’t lived if you haven’t gotten your arm caught in a wringer washer! 🙄🤭🥴
Yep but I’m aging myself
So that photo that you used at the start of the video, that shows women go pee in the bushes, that was for Clickbait wasn’t it?🤔😏
It is. Unfortunately that’s how we get views. I wish it wasn’t so
Those no amish
Click bait.
# Isn't that Title "Where Amish Women Pee" rather CRUDE ?!! IT SOUNDS Rude & Crude : (
Do not be fooled. The Amish can be just as cruel as a stranger.
My understanding no electricity refrigerators ? Confused Mennonite they drive ect ect used to drive trucks a bunch of Amish kids were there with a younger man with a beard they were staring at me like I was the devil in carnet lol ( had long hair maybe the hair?
Yeah maybe the hair. I cant speak for them but we as kids always had the impression that long haired guys, Harley guys, or anyone driving a pre 1995 van(especially black ones) were people who would do us harm. We are all very surprised when we grow up to find these people to be some of the kindest and giving people alive. And now I own a 1991 Chevy G20 Kidnapper Van😂
Strange to see mirrors and so much modern stuff. TN Amish MUCH more conservative
click bait title. Guess Peanut Butter would not do as well. Humor; why did you not show a tree for the men?
they have their on video. Link pinned to top of comments
Fruitcakes.
Jeeeezus. Is nothing private??? It's not ur business where a person goes to the bath. Get this crap off here. It personal
Why do you think this video title is important? Who cares about how Amich women go to the bathroom? Silly!!!
Nice vid ... nice memories
Sounds like you had a great childhood and good parents
I did.
