Do you know of any other Amish church districts that fellowship with them (share ministers, intermarry). It would be telling to know. I’ll ask some Old Order friends in Lancaster what they know of them if anything.

@@LancoAmish I grew up in Kokomo, there were 2 church districts, one is almost gone now, a lot of them moved out, some left the Amish, but yes they go back and forth with most, if not all of Northern Indiana, Arthur Illinois, Kalona, Iowa, etc. So they associate with a lot of other Old Order Amish. They are the only ones that use tractors, I believe. I’m not sure on that though.

@@jameshershberger5284 , I just spoke with an Amish friend of mine here in Lancaster. He didn’t know about the tractor use in Kokomo but the Kalona, Iowa OOA also use tractors in the field up to 75 HP he believes. He thinks there’s another group in PA also using tractors…he’s going to find out for sure. The Lancaster Amish do indeed fellowship with the Iowa group. They’ve had their ministers preach here and Vice versa. The tractor usage is a big deal but not enough on its own to break fellowship necessarily.

@@LancoAmish Ok, didn’t realize about Kalona, but here I believe they are allowed up to 120 HP, and 4 row equipment. I know the south church here recently allowed roll over protection bars, and they can even use a cab tractor, if side and rear windows are removed. Kokomo is a fairly old settlement, but never grew large. They have been using tractors for years, my grandfather used tractors when he farmed back in the day. I know some of the northern Indiana churches now use tractors for some transportation, such as for business purposes, but are not allowed to use them for farming. One of the fellas that moved from Kokomo up north, has a lawn care/landscaping business, and he uses a tractor to transport equipment. Just recently found your channel, and I am learning about other Amish churches that I didn’t even know about!

And maple surup is sbout $60/gallon, how many gallons can i put u down for??

75 years ago everyone around here farmed this way, milking a few cows and hauling their milk to the nearest cheese factory, usually cooperatively owned. Haulage with teams and sleighs lasted well into the 50's until they began plowing the rural roads. Then they discontinued shipping in cans and forced bulk tanks on everyone in the 60's. We were some of the last still shipping cream in cans into the early 90's in Ontario.

My great great grandparents were amish and I have always been enamoured with their lifestyle. I grew up without a lot of technology, so I feel I could live like them with ease. Love your video, thanks for highlighting these good people.

The Amish here in this video are here in my home town literally right down the road from me is the milk house the truck was picking up milk at. It looks like they had no idea this was being filmed. They are good people and I’m friends with many of them here in Whitehall. One correction is they also heat with coal, they purchase a tractor trailer load of bagged coal every fall and split it amongst the families.

Madison county New york has a growing Amish population , love the glazed donuts and there hard work keeping there small farms alive

Thanks, for sharing. I used to live in Yates Co. NY. We had a large. Groffdale Mennonite(horse & buggy Mennonite) community since the 1970's. We now live in central WI. & have a even larger Groffdale comm. & Amish(100 members within 2 miles from our farm)...

I liked learning more about Amish! Thank you!🚙🐗🌏🐎

Just to add.........the Amish moved into NYS 30+ years ago, buying old farm steads that the corporate farms missed or didn't want with small acres, some came and some left, but as the state regulations and "rules" get worst, more will be leaving. Selling their land in rich PA forced them to NY, which had many closed down small farm steads, If the state would have passed the legislation on wood fires, and outdoor wood furnaces, which it didn't, the 'off the grid' people couldn't heat their homes. I know of one family that moved out because of the state interfering with their production process.

Liked and subbed.

Yah know, I’m starting to think the Amish are on to something. All things old are new again.

They’re all around me in western NY. Often see them at Walmart where they get dropped off by a hired driver.

We have many Amish Farms all over Michigan. They Range from Old Order To Strooper, to Mennonite Amish. We buy Sheds at a Great Price then Resale them. We want to Start getting more money for the sheds because as a Licensed Builder Residential and Commercial Builder. Excavation. Concrete is the Money, for Us People can take the Plans for the Home and they will cut every board you will need with no Wasted Lumber. These Amish Lumber Mill are Amazing.

It surprised me that the men don't use suspenders to hold up their pants.

Filmed while you were at camp?

Love the music track at 14:49 mins. who is it?

They sing hymns…we have a community in northeast Wyoming . We drive them to go shopping and to jobs. They don’t like to be photographed and they are very kind and helpful people. Any town that the Amish settle in they improve.

Didn’t they mind you taking video of them? The women’s looked like they did not like you doing that. Very nice videos, though. Did you notice the collar sores on that Belgium horse’s neck?

Do business with a few of these folks. They don’t seem to mind when I intrude to purchase from them nor do they seem to mind advertising along the road for townsfolk to buy their lumber, vegetables, fruit, baked goods, crafts…Possibly you shouldn’t accuse someone without knowledge. Perhaps you should also understand there is no expectation of privacy in almost 99% of open areas. Do you give your permission to be filmed everytime you’re in public? I spent 1/3 of my life within the community where these folks live and 1/3 more in the biggest Amish settlement in the world. You really know nothing of the Amish if you really think they don’t rely on the outside world…often more than outsiders do.
