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
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.
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.
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 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
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
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!
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.
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 had to replay the first part showing the scenery....absolutely beautiful area.
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!
I really like that door too. Seems sturdy.
Some time I'm thinking to go back living like an old days..
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!!!!
The Amish have such prosperous and tidy looking farms.
I've met Jack before we were invited to his home and they showed us it was beautiful!
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.
Very educational. Thank you for posting. I certainly enjoyed it.
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.
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!
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.
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
Thank you for sharing information about your life , the old pieces of furniture are beautiful !
The amish in Wisconsin are so polite and hard working. They sure know how to build barns
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.
You are quite welcome. I've learned so much from Jack, and feel like he's my best friend. Make the best day.
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.
My Grandmother's from Lancaster Penn. Love the culture, and the door
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.
I like the fact that they're German and they're playing Mozart in the background
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.

From England.
I bought a porch swing handmade by the Amish 30 + years ago . It still hangs from a tree in my yard in perfect condition.
cool place, i have a walk in closet, he has a walk in fireplace. He wins
Thank you, Amish Jack, for explaining things in such interesting detail! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I kinda like that Indian door, too; a lot! :-)
I love the Amish they very hard, workers God faring people
beautiful home. peaceful. i like the amish
The amish are great up in clare county Michigan
Ghost Writer The Amish ( in Clare county ) used to teach school in my schoolhouse in Scottville Michigan I think they own a metal roofing company.
I did not know that the Amish and Mennonites shared a home, we have a large group in western Canada - called Hutterites
I like your door too Jack.I also love your bench turn table
I have never seen one.
Pretty music. Sweet and lovely. GREAT DOOR!
Love that door, that is wonderful. I also like those doors where the bottom can stay shut, but the top opens.
The sounds of clip clopping instead of horns. Great livin.
I like every part of this. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Mozart in Amish Country! Two of my all-time favorites! Thank you!
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
Thank you so much for sharing. Very interesting about the solar power, bench table and door. I look forward to learning more.
Love the door, thanks for sharing.
Never seen that bench/table design before - love it!
Thanks for the tour. I'm a little late watching it, 8 years later.
Yes you have such beautiful homes. Everyone helps each other. Our family are Christians and believe we are all Bro and sisters in the eyes of God. Your live seem simple and without a lot of chaos . I heard before some Amish or Mennonites might have a phone or car or lights. Us girls. were raised in the Quaker Church in Salem, Oregon, growing up. We are now in our 70's. Now.
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.
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..
I like that door also,very good craftsmanship.
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.
Looks like heaven. Very special. Thank you.
I truly love the Amish way of living !!
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.
This man sounds like a neighbor I used to have.
He wasn’t Amish just a regular guy like this gentleman.
These men can do anything. Great Faith
Loved the Indian door!
Kool and functional door!
Among other things, I very much enjoyed the selection of pieces for the soundtrack. +1
I LOVE that door!! 🤪Very cool! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
When I lived in Texas (originally from Ontario Canada) we use to travel quite extensively back and Fort to PA where my husband (RIP💔😪) had a young son. So we would travel I-35, I-75 or my favorite, up the east coast through the Appalachian mountains, the carolinas, etc, my first time driving through PA I remembered so well seeing the many coal mines, the rolling hills...and then there were Amish wagons, homes, shops (the best preserves, home made bread and cakes I've ever tasted) someday I will take a "memory" trip in his honor (he passed away at the young age of 42 to ALS), if there was ever a near perfect marriage, we had it, the memories he gave me are the most cherished ones that I will keep close to my heart....I always dreamt of moving to PA (near the Pocohos) but with the craziness within your present government, the best place for me right now, is to remain in Canada, oh I will return (possibly move back to Texas or find myself a cabin in the great smokey mountains near Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburge or possibly the Pocohos, I know big differences from one to another)...in closing, it would have been nice to see more of your home, how things were built, the length of time it took to build, etc., my question is, do most Amish families have huge homes like this? If so, what is the main source of income?
I wish that your dear husband was in the physical with you right now😥, I am so sorry for your loss(ALS is an evil disease it really is😔)! I believe you will make that memory trip you spoke of back, and your hubby will be closer along with you than you may even realize. Lots of good vibes going out ur way from the east coast of Canada
Like the idea of the front door using that other board sliding up to protect the glass that gives me something to think about
Loved the door!
I was a Mennonite, my grandmother, and grandfather are Mennonite they took me and my brothers and sisters in was our dad and mom gets in the army. I went back to live with our dad and mom. I do not miss the Mennonite life. I do keep some of the Mennonite ways I make all of my family cloths and make our bread and pasta sauces and ice cream and laundry soap and canning and more. my one sister is living in our grandfather and grandmother farm. If kids now cannot live without a cell phone and tv. I know if we have a good storm the power goes out. I know that I can live by cooking outside in a grill and have lights. My husband loves all homemade foods and clothes and more homemade things.
Could I get your recipe for the laundry soap?
inherit the wind a movie some ago. view the one with Roberts. eyes wide shut could be a danger. world has enough lock step ,time for human progress . hearts and minds. souls will be fine, most where not damaged..
This is true
@@patchthecat [ jesus camp] here too.
Less stress, healthy lifestyle
Respect
My mother's family was from Pennsylvania, hence; Pennsylvania Dutch background. I learned a lot about being frugal and I practice those things today.
A big thank you to the lovely Amish man!😊
Beautiful home, I’ve always wanted a walk in fireplace, I was told it lost to much heat up the chimney.
It does! It's better to use a rocket stove
I love that door shown at the end. Ingenious. :)
The Amish People are good honest hard working and Lord abiding People. What a beautiful World We could all share if We were nearly as good.
So cool! Love learning about Amish life! Such wonderful natural people! God bless
Enjoyed watchinh the story of the amish. Thank u
I am a ex-amish. I miss it sometime. I make all my husband and my clothes and homemade breads and pies and noodles and cakes and jelly,jams,cooking. I may take my husband back to see where I grow up at. if I had my way I would go back and live the way I grow up.
Shawn Cooper I want to learn to quilt the way you do..😊
Nice video. Thanks
This is all about my ancestors background on my mom side maiden name was Giesbrecht out of Winkler Manitoba back in the late 30s so we here are Learning about our ancestors protect them for that time
I really like the door with the shutter. If you see a stranger coming to the door and feel the need for extra security, you can put up the shutter.
I wish I would have been born into a family of Amish or Menenite descent.
Blessings to you all
Oh please Pray for us,we are trying to buy a beautiful Amish's house. It's not easy😐
I just prayed for you. I hope you get your house. :)
willythewave Thank You. Waiting for the appraisal.🙏🏾We keep on trusting God.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
I love that door too ... wow and the kitchen table is neat
I Love these people so much God bless them
so beautiful there and beautiful built home love the fire place
I lived in New Wilmington, Pa. I liked them. They're not Christian, but Old Testament. Don't take their picture! The white buggy is the sausage buggy and also the hearse. If you'll take them to auction, you're a friend for life. A wringer washer is a treasure. They shaved their mustaches as a sign of submission when the Germans conquered them. They were uncomfortable with my mustache! They got their horses from racetracks. A nice bunch of folks.
Things that last, rather than mass-produced, are the very best.
I love that door good protection from anything
I admire amish people a lot!
Nice door ....quite practical ...🙏🏼
Thanks jrhager. Someday I'm hoping to spend a few weeks living with the Amish. I'd like to see how people can live and farm without either gasoline or electricity. I think the electric appliance I'd have the hardest time giving up is the refrigerator. But it sounds like these days the goal is not so much to reject electricity per se, but to be "off the grid" and independent of the rest of society, and they are ok with creating it themselves via generators, solar panels, etc. Is that correct?
They have the right idea. Always have. The world today is so full of chaos. I for one would love to live the simple life. God bless them 🙏💒
Oh man Love your video, Thank you so much for sharing
I like all of them :))
Two weeks ago I have visited Lancaster area.
So sad to see how industrial world pushed them out of their World.
Thank You I enjoyed this.
So peaceful, calm and white 😍
