Authentic Amish Tours
Your social network to the Amish!
Our goal is to have you experience authentic Amish life. There will be opportunities to interact personally with the Amish as we meet them at home and work. Depending upon availability, the tour includes a two-room school house, organic farm market, housewares shop, fabric, bakery, jam and jelly businesses, and harness shop. Along the way you will see an Amish cemetery, Amish homes, the Doty house, pulley clothes lines, children at play, farmers in the field, buggies coming and going, and beautiful back road country scenery with Amish go-cart races if we're lucky! It is truly an authentic experience!
We suggest an overnight weekend to attend Friday Amish benefit school auctions and Saturday horse sales during the summer months.

Mesopotamia - The U.S. state of Ohio, this day the scene of violence is very rare in the Amish Community. A renegade group of Amish shave beards and other hair from other Amish in the United States media reported Friday. Several people were slightly injured, but no one has reported to the police. Amish consider snipping or shaving their hair as a serious insult. The Amish community is known as strictly religious, peaceful and very closed. They usually solve their problems themselves and not step into the regular authorities for help. The Amish are descendants of European Mennonites in the 18th and 19th centuries emigrated to North America. They founded communities in the northeastern states of Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio. Today there are Amish communities in 30 states and approximately 230,000 people call themselves Amish.

Police in the region suspect that 18 families involved in the quarrel. In recent weeks a number of incidents occurred, including in places Mesopotamia and Bergholz, Ohio.
