Mud sales are benefit auctions held to support the many volunteer fire companies in the Lancaster County area. Many of them have heavy Amish & Mennonite participation. So they're not technically "Amish" - but definitely have a Plain character due to the many Amish fire company volunteers, and of course auction attendees.
Why are they called "mud" sales? They got that name due to the condition of farmer's fields in the late winter/spring (when the bulk of them are held). You can read more, and find a list of this year's Mud Sales, here (there are still about 10 more to go): amishamerica.com/lancaster-county-amish-mud-sales/
That ham sandwich looked good! 😂 I love listening to an auctioneers.
It was! And it cost about 3 bucks, not bad compared to say the gas station
We have an auction up here twice a year it's called Lucius auction it's all around Rockwood Somerset County out in that area anyway it's always in a field and it's always muddy somebody that when you're walking you lift your foot up you look down and your shoe is still in the mud yeah that's happened to me quite a few times have one in the spring and one in the fall and it's always wet and Soggy thank you for the video blessings to you and yours
I never heard of an Amish mud sale. Thank you for sharing
It's the tail end of the spring mud sales in the Lancaster area. I know the one closest to me is one of the early ones and hundreds of people of all backgrounds comes out. It's in Airville, PA.
Ling live the Amish forever!
What is an Amish mud sale? Crafts, Antiques, or food? I'm totally ignorant to this.
Good question :) check the comment I pinned at top for an explanation. As to your second question, they sell all sorts of things - if you pause the vid at the start, you can see the auction bill from this sale listing all the different items 👍
My local mud sale has quilts, groceries, farm, equipment, indoor and outdoor furniture, sheds, greenhouses , potted plants and trees, as well as chickens, ducks and rabbits. This year they even had beef calves. Last year my Amish neighbors bought a refrigerator trailer that runs on diesel.
Thank you for the reply, they are fine auctioneers in this video aa well as great citizens. We are blessed to have Amish in s.w. Indiana and western Kentucky. Now I know about their auctions. 😊
I have read about these sales for years. Thank you for sharing this!!
That's tiny. The ones in Lancaster County, PA are this on steroids! It's usually Mennonite auctioneers.
This is Lancaster County. About 3pm
That was interesting! I guess I never thought about Amish men being auctioneers but they were doing a great job!! Thanks Erik!!
Glad you enjoyed it. This had a great atmosphere
The Amish seem like they're a nice people to be around! I'd almost prefer to live around them than mainstream society.
Key word almost.
Been to one sale once! It was so fun!
I couldn't keep up at an auction because I don't hear fast enough 😅 I did notice this one was in English, so they must count on support from the English customers as well.
What are Amish thoughts on SILVER & GOLD as payment? 💰
(Like Gold backs or even silver dimes)
At a auction or in general? Not something ive heard of in Wayne and Holmes county. Cash or check
@@CowboySJ either, my friend
I’m sure if you’re doing personal business, they’d consider it on an individual basis but these auctions are normally backed by a larger auctioneer company that likely has policy and regulations set for everyone in a general sense. My husband’s a coin and gold collector, Amish are super smart financially, if it makes dollars..it makes sense to most!
@@ThePomskysPalace interesting!
Thank you for your response 😊
