Hosted by our favorite Amishman, Amish Jack shares with us details of the Amish Home and life on the Amish farm. He also takes us through a small part of his home.
I live close to Lancaster PA and I have to say, Amish homes and yards are so well maintained. Their vegetable gardens are beautiful! Not a weed in sight.
It's because they take pride in what they have unlike most people nowadays witch is a big shame all farms can look good like this if people would care
There is a story about amish farmer in Missouri who made an extremely high yield of winter wheat the university of Missouri Extension service flocked out to his farm and asked him how he made such a high yield he replied I had 3 barns full of manure and 4 strong boys. They shook their heads and left.. it's called recycling
Wow. 4 strong boys i love that response
It's called good old hardwork and compost. Something people have been doing since medieval times.
Wow...no traffic....no sirens...no noise...no crime. Beautiful!
@Karen Reed Lol. 🤗
And no taxes to pay!
Carol Benson
No crime because they take care of their own.
Herm Zinn I think they pay taxes....
Herm Zinn better get informed as to how many taxes Amish pay plenty they're the third overall wealthiest group of people in the US the wealthiest of all minority groups by far.
I absolutely love the Amish. They are the friendliest and most humble people I have had the honor to know and speak with when I lived in PA. Truly remarkable people
Simple life,no laziness, being fruitful and expanding families. I really admire this
Are you Amish brother?
Expanding families not so good. Overpopulation is killing the planet, big time...
Cult
Simple is boring
I'm not about to go live that lifestyle myself, but I must say I really do respect and admire it as well. I can't understand the way some look down on these people... mostly out of ignorance I guess. I saw something on TV a few years ago about how Amish businesses have among the highest success rates in the country, something like ~90%. All about the work ethic
I really like that door too. Seems sturdy.
In my experience, the amish are friendly, polite, hardworking and loyal. You can find quality craftsmenship and know where it comes from.
I like that they don't refuse modern conveniences. however, they WILL NOT be dependent on the system. this is true independence.
@@KAT-ow2tothey seem peaceful and minding their own business to me...
I's actualyl called hyprocrisy
@@KAT-ow2to I concur
They do refuse many modern conveniences, but they are reliant on the System for income. I lived in Lancaster, PA for nine years, so I am speaking from experience. This video takes place in Lancaster County, I believe.
@@stefaniehasandras7473 That's the point. Many modern conveniences they enjoy. No doubt each amish group may differ in....well..amishness. One thing that confuses me though. If their whole religion is about living off the land, and the toil to do so, why do they buy carts and carts of potato chips??? I don't think most even grow anymore. lol such a strange group
I had to replay the first part showing the scenery....absolutely beautiful area.
I've met Jack before we were invited to his home and they showed us it was beautiful!
Some time I'm thinking to go back living like an old days..
Cool that they're getting into solar. These people won't have a problem when the grid goes down.
They will when the starving masses start storming there houses and farms!!
@@brethart9214 naa! The starving masses , will just be dead .
@@MrGuy-cp1gt corona zombies
@O up here with the California Canadians , they don't get it , been saying that for forty years , when spring comes, they laugh , they have forgotten from whence they came . But the ELECT know .
whatchu gunna do when the grid goes down? PE
I remember the old, old house! 1963, I was 3. my first memory. I went in to my grandma and grandpas house. no electricity, no bathroom. My cousin Bud took me there. Walked into the living room. A potbellied stove set in the corner. I was burnt severly on it in 61, don't remember that but still 55 years later I still have the scars on my hand and both legs. I remember my mom and sis and grandma in the kitchen. Grandma or Mom went to the stove and got me a bowl of beans. I'am pretty sure it was a wood burning stove. First meal I remember. Just a thought! Don't know why this video brought this memory back, but it did. Have a nice day my friends.
Steve the country cook You remembered it because of the the old-styleness in the video and your memory houses the same thing!❤
Steve the country cook sorry u got badly burned
must have been a beautiful comfy, happy, home.
This brought back INCREDIBLY vague memories of my grandfathers horses as well. I say vague because I jumped the fence when I was about 3 and a half.
That's a beautiful story. I am 20 years younger, but my upbringing was simple compared to today. That's the way people are meant to live. The amish have the right idea.
The door is such an inventive idea...very wise people and good workmanship! Thank you Amish Jack for sharing this with us and for the time it took you video it and upload it here...a lot of curiosity about the Amish it seems...a lot of people want to know more about them...I lived in a place in Ohio where there were many Amish families and they were all very kind and generous with anyone who needed help with things...never took a dime when they came to help either. Thank you again!
Live simply,raise your kids w.values,learn a trade,cook farm fresh.....wow. Lost art.
Simple is boring
@@darthkillerhog For me, living simply makes me appreciate the little things.
The Amish have such prosperous and tidy looking farms.
This is so cool. Love seeing all the older artifacts and treasures. You are doing what many Americans want to do, which is living off the grid. Thank you!
That table/bench is awesome! Ingenious.
LOVE Lancaster, PA!! Life seems so much more simpler, I wouldn't mind living like this😊
You wouldn't have the internet, TV, radio, movies or books other than the bible. You would never travel or meet new people. If you grew up this way it may not matter, if you didn't it would matter a great deal.
@@Tonithenightowl You know, that doesn't sound like such a bad thing :)
Really, oh really!!!!
Thank you for sharing information about your life , the old pieces of furniture are beautiful !
You are quite welcome. I've learned so much from Jack, and feel like he's my best friend. Make the best day.
Very educational. Thank you for posting. I certainly enjoyed it.
I like every part of this. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I LOVE YOU, you're amazing to do video's like this! I have Mennonite and Amish in my family, part of them being IN Lancaster, Pennsylvania - one was a master carpenter who did beautiful work and taught his sons, another was a very experienced and talented midwife whose crafts and knit/crochet (which she will deny until she dies of old age) are so beautiful, especially her quilts and clothing - we used to write letters A LOT - I miss them so much, God love you for doing this. Am crying but they're happy tears because they remind me of my extended family and how close at one time we used to be. I haven't been to Lancaster since I was 9 or 10, but when I was there it was a great time of my life. xxx
Never seen that bench/table design before - love it!
I love that door shown at the end. Ingenious. :)
Love that door, that is wonderful. I also like those doors where the bottom can stay shut, but the top opens.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Great vid! LOVE the door and table!
I like your door too Jack.I also love your bench turn table
I have never seen one.
Loved the door!
My Grandmother's from Lancaster Penn. Love the culture, and the door
Beautiful and serene!
Thank you so much for sharing. Very interesting about the solar power, bench table and door. I look forward to learning more.
Looks like heaven. Very special. Thank you.
Thank you, Amish Jack, for explaining things in such interesting detail! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I kinda like that Indian door, too; a lot! :-)
Among other things, I very much enjoyed the selection of pieces for the soundtrack. +1
Love the door, thanks for sharing.
Mozart in Amish Country! Two of my all-time favorites! Thank you!
I love that door too ... wow and the kitchen table is neat
beautiful home. peaceful. i like the amish
Thank you for your hospitality and your valuable information. It's much appreciated. God Bless!
Ps I also like that door, it's so amazingly practical.
Pretty music. Sweet and lovely. GREAT DOOR!
I read many Christian books so when searching for books to read I came across your books which I love. I’m not Amish yet your books are fascinating, interesting, the way of Amish life, family, style of life. I love the down to earth way you write, sharing feelings we all feel. Thank you, thank God for your wonderful talent which I’m sure touch many lives. Thank you.
Thanks for the tour. I'm a little late watching it, 8 years later.
modern technology, mass production, and common comforts of today's living ways can not stand up to that of what is shown here in this video. the solid functions of everything seen here will and has stood the test of time. there is a peaceful beauty that rests in knowing if you make something right, when you do right. no one can say anything negative without proving themself a fool.
thank you for providing us a peek at such wonderful simple goodness that this world is so missing
memekitty343 Yes, but there's stuff that would be HARD for me to give up.
Now multiply that by seven billion people on the planet
The luddite has spoken.
If given a chance many people including me would like to live like Amish, looks so calm and peaceful. And ofcourse a running water and electricity i would chose 😂
But overall for a sane minded people, this Way of Life is close to Best!
So cool! Love learning about Amish life! Such wonderful natural people! God bless
Oh man Love your video, Thank you so much for sharing
I like the fact that they're German and they're playing Mozart in the background
Enjoyed watchinh the story of the amish. Thank u
The amish in Wisconsin are so polite and hard working. They sure know how to build barns
cool place, i have a walk in closet, he has a walk in fireplace. He wins
I did not know that the Amish and Mennonites shared a home, we have a large group in western Canada - called Hutterites
Gosh!
I remember watching this a few years ago👍😊
I thought this gentleman had given up on utube?
I do hope he, and his family, are still well and keeping safe.
I have subscribe again👍😊
Blessings to you all.

From England.
Beautiful homes!
They come here to visit sometimes. They are always welcome. As an outsider i cant tell the difference between Amish or Mennonite or anything else they are doing. It is always interesting to talk with people. I think they are sincere and honest. I wont turn christian.
Thank You I enjoyed this.
I like that door also,very good craftsmanship.
We were in Ohio a couple months ago and visited the Amish there and I wish I was born Amish. What a lovely peaceful life.
I Love these people so much God bless them
Thank you for sharing
Love the opening scene! It's just like being there!
The best view of the world, either on a horse, or behind a horse!
That door is fascinating!
I LOVE that door!! 🤪Very cool! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Like the idea of the front door using that other board sliding up to protect the glass that gives me something to think about
Thank you for sharing!
I admire amish people a lot!
A big thank you to the lovely Amish man!😊
I truly love the Amish way of living !!
These men can do anything. Great Faith
Beautiful!!
The front door was awesome
I love the door.
so beautiful there and beautiful built home love the fire place
Beautiful Place
I bought a porch swing handmade by the Amish 30 + years ago . It still hangs from a tree in my yard in perfect condition.
The sounds of clip clopping instead of horns. Great livin.
Much respect for this life.
My mother's family was from Pennsylvania, hence; Pennsylvania Dutch background. I learned a lot about being frugal and I practice those things today.
Loved the Indian door!
Kool and functional door!
I love the door
I wish my exterior doors were like that one he showed at the end. It's both esthethically pleasing and secure when you need it to be.
So peaceful, calm and white 😍
Nice video. Thanks
Thank You for sharing.
Lovely. I might be in outer London but the peace and birds and animals, and horses that go by on the very quiet road, the woods, the huge trees on my land and some of the old things in the house are not too different although we are worlds apart.
Jane Smith It can get very noisy in high, tourist season. This is Lancaster County, Pennsylvania which has the largest Amish population in the world. People come from all over to see the Amish, so it can get very crowded during tourist season.
We have a Mennonite area close to where I live and we go there to buy produce and other things. I guess in a way I don't like to go there because when I get there I do not want to leave.
These people are so smart. I love them. Some in Abbeville SC and they live on large farms and own very successful businesses. They own eateries and the food is incredible and firebox business, countertips. Everything they do is first class.
Wow a high tech security door! Luv it.
Obrigado.
Máximo respeito pelos Amish!
Hey there brother that is so beautiful home there sure look better than they are now brother
Love the door, love the hutch, love the table that turns into a bench. But, not too keen on another family living in close prox. with mine. No electricity and a washing machine run by a generator of some sorts.But, modernize it just a bit and I could easily live this way..simple way of life..
Nice door ....quite practical ...🙏🏼
thanks for sharing i subscribed...from phoenix ...peace
sirknightcape you look familiar but I think it was another incarnation ()~*
Did you see the Phoenix Lights love ?
Very nice place.
This man sounds like a neighbor I used to have.
He wasn’t Amish just a regular guy like this gentleman.
IBeing disabled, I couldn't do the full inside home ops that they have to do & don't agree w/the shunning but love everything else they do!
Very interesting video sir! I wish there was a way to experience this in person.
That fireplace! Digonelly! (Diagon Alley).
Very nice video, thanks
