  • The young man is ‘tedding hay’ not ‘plowing’ the field. By the time I realized my mistake it was already embedded in the clip. There have been dozens of comments pointing this out.
    Got away from the city suburb hustle for a day to visit the old order Amish in Lancaster and Strasburg, PA. Between horses and buggy's, Amish farms and roadside stands, discussed the drastic changes that took place in the Amish community in the last three years since covid.
    I used to visit the Amish years ago and do oil paintings of them. Ignore the media hit pieces, most are wonderful Godly people living a simple life apart from the world, just as God intended.
    It’s a challenge to find old order Amish to speak on camera, especially to an outsider, but I managed to get some nice footage in my one day visit revealing interesting info.
    In one piece I film a family in an open horse drawn buggy on a 50 mph 2 lane road with cars swerving around them. It looked extremely stressful for the family as well as very dangerous. These are brave, honest, courageous, self sufficient, hard working people that take nothing from the government. Much respect.

To hell with politeness, stop screwing children. And what do they need money for? What's the point of being Amish anyway if you're going to be commercial? It's for show. They are polite externally, but obnoxious inwardly. Exactly the kind of people Jesus was against.

We had the pleasure of following one buggy with small children in the back, and we spent the time following, exchanging waves with the children. Simple respect and courtesy.

    I lived in Berks Co Pa. Sold hay, oats to many Amish. The false impression is they farm organically. Most use the latest ag herbicides, insecticides, fungicides as the english farmers. They use lots of fossil fuels, gasoline, diesel, propane. They do farm using horse/mule power, and carriage horses. They are great honest folks. There is nothing like seeing a 8 mule hitch plowing the fields in the Spring. I now live in the Ca Sierra foothills, a small farm there. The Mennonite are moving into our county, and are a welcome addition to our county, honest hard working, clean. It is good to see them in our local stores. The boys and girls play baseball in the ball field, near me, just as I saw in lancaster Co when I lived nearby.

      The Amish people - on the outside - (their public faces) are congenial people as long as you treat them with the same respect anyone should get in a polite society.
      Funny thing about them when they think you aren't looking: Some (I emphasize the word some here) Amish are involved in selling of hard drugs to outsiders (The English as they call other Americans). Some Amish are money-grabbing two-faced thieves who will rip off a non-Amish person in a heartbeat. They are like any other community with good people and bad people, but they get away with a lot because no one thinks to look at the Amish community when certain crimes are committed and the usual suspects are not to blame. That's the reality.

    If you've ever seen what happens when an Amish buggy is hit by a vehicle. You will slow down and respect their way of travel. Here in Kentucky back in the winter there was an Amish home burnt down with a child inside. Was absolutely horrible for that family. Good people with a respectable way of life. I have many Amish and Mennonite friends. I fell in love with an Amish girl named Sara when I was 15or16. Her father said I'd have to become Amish and practice their traditions if I wanted to marry her. I thought it over for a week and when I went back to speak to her father. They had moved to Florida. Broke my heart. I hope she had a happy life and had many wonderful children.

    I have seen what happens to an Amish Buggy or in this case a Pony Cart with 3 children going to school. The oldest child was 11 with 2 younger siblings and had apparently stopped at an intersection here in Manton Michigan when what was to be investigated showed that the horse could have panicked and lurched into the intersection where it was hit by a car. The vehicle hit the cart just behind the horse (Horse Survived) and all 3 children were thrown from the cart. The oldest child and one other were killed and the third was seriously injured and spent quite some time in the hospital. I actually live further North in Michigan where there is a small Amish order of some of the nicest people one could wish to know. I do escorts for the huge storage barns they build and also drive them to shopping trips and to take the Men to different work sites. I did like your visits with them but the way you were questioning that Amish Women about her family when her Husband was not around is not really good manners. The Woman answered your questions just to be polite. We might not agree with all their ways but in an Amish Family the Husband is the head of the family and any questions about his home and children should be addressed to him.

Instead of bike lanes, fix the edge of the road for them. That way they could go unimpeded. It's not like we can't slow down for a few minutes, to get by them safely. Why are some people of the impression that they matter more than others. I, for one, love these people. They have a different look at life. It doesn't make it wrong.

    The Lancaster Amish farm I've stayed at for 2-3 weeks, 2x a year for over10 years, because one they were friends, lady that I stayed with on her son's farm she quilted for me, and her daughter in law sewed for me, used back roads with their buggies. So I would rent a car for two weeks, and it got used very heavily, and I learned every back road from Bart, PA to New Holland and Intercourse. I would've a hard time getting buggy rides with a rental car. But when I did get a buggy ride it was pleasant. It gets dicey when you get on the highways with 18 wheelers and more traffic. Those excursions are planned to be as short as possible. Like the Walmart in one of those towns, we were on the freeway actually, the shoulder for about a couple miles, but you could feel the wind from the trucks go by.

I have to say something all you people and know who I'm talking about, do not tailgate the horse baggy and why are you passing on a hill when you don't know what vehicle is coming over the hill when you put your in a killing your self. The Amish have the right away on the road as much as you. In Missouri I give the respect to the Amish. The wright way to approach a buggy is to put emergency lights on do not try to pass up on a hill do not tailgate pass with plenty of distant. That van that passed I would have put his ass over, send him to jail. The person passed on the hill send then in jail too.If you don't like what going on the roads with the Amish wrights you should take a different route. I would love to live like Amish ways. Then these crooked politicians doing to this country in America. This is why people are home less and I know we cant be all farmers.

      @@torikazuki8701 Exactly. We all need our exercise, especially if it’s fun doing it. I like chasing balls like dogs, which is why I play a lot of tennis.

      Yeah, it's great hauling the people around on hot days in paved roads or in the fields. Horses of no further use are sent to slaughter. Amish are big puppy millers in Pa. Women have few rights. You can keep that lifestyle.

    I have seen roads in Iowa where Amish live that are wide enough for their buggies can drive on the side of the roads
