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

It's called good old hardwork and compost. Something people have been doing since medieval times.

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

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 like that they don't refuse modern conveniences. however, they WILL NOT be dependent on the system. this is true independence.

@@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

In my experience, the amish are friendly, polite, hardworking and loyal. You can find quality craftsmenship and know where it comes from.

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.

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!

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

I've met Jack before we were invited to his home and they showed us it was beautiful!

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.

That table/bench is awesome! Ingenious.

I like every part of this. Thanks for sharing.

I like the fact that they're German and they're playing Mozart in the background

The amish in Wisconsin are so polite and hard working. They sure know how to build barns

Thank you so much for sharing. Very interesting about the solar power, bench table and door. I look forward to learning more.

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

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!

Love that door, that is wonderful. I also like those doors where the bottom can stay shut, but the top opens.

You are quite welcome. I've learned so much from Jack, and feel like he's my best friend. Make the best day.

I like your door too Jack.I also love your bench turn table I have never seen one.

Among other things, I very much enjoyed the selection of pieces for the soundtrack. +1

I did not know that the Amish and Mennonites shared a home, we have a large group in western Canada - called Hutterites

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.

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. Moira From England.

Never seen that bench/table design before - love it!

I bought a porch swing handmade by the Amish 30 + years ago . It still hangs from a tree in my yard in perfect condition.

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.

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.

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.

So cool! Love learning about Amish life! Such wonderful natural people! God bless

Thanks for the tour. I'm a little late watching it, 8 years later.

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.

This man sounds like a neighbor I used to have. He wasn’t Amish just a regular guy like this gentleman.

Very interesting video sir! I wish there was a way to experience this in person.

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.

My mother's family was from Pennsylvania, hence; Pennsylvania Dutch background. I learned a lot about being frugal and I practice those things today.

My grandfather and grandmother were from the Friends order, they had relocated to Florida and raised their children. Many memories were watching my grandfather in his shop and being in the kitchen with grandmother. I learned to cook on a wood stove and there's nothing better tasting than food cooked by a fire place with a spit or bread from the wood burning stove. I was brought up with many teachings from them and cherish all the memories. Today, i still use many of their teachings, although not brought up in the community, my life is much richer from my grandparents, I try to live as close to self reliance as possible and it's not easy but rewarding. Thank you for sharing this.

Tree veneration is missing here. Planting new woods takes away from grazing, but woods are an important part of the creation. Living large like this is not simple/plain.

Nice video. Thanks

I visited these people from the Netherlands and felt right at home. They live like the Germanics (Dutch or Deutsch) did, not to long ago.

Ever since my family took a trip to Lancaster Pennsylvania and we had the honor of meeting some Amish people and seeing their farms I have loved the Amish way of life. They have the most beautiful farms and are the nicest, sweetest people ever
