When we started planning a trip to my hometown in Central Pennsylvania, one thing we really wanted to do was learn more about the Amish. I grew up close to the Amish my whole life so I knew the general things like they used horse and buggies instead of cars and couldn't have electricity. However, we wanted to know more. And in this USA Travel Vlog we do just that!
We spent days searching for an Amish homestay - somewhere you could actually live with the Amish and interact with them. We found some that offered Amish homes, however you stayed there by yourself. We found more that were obviously not real Amish as they had electricity. Then we eventually stumbled upon one Amish Homestay that seemed it could be authentic. We decided to book it for two nights and document our experience to see how authentic it actually was.
On our Amish adventure weekend we went to Lancaster Pennsylvania - the heart of Amish Country Pennsylvania. We started at The Amish Village - a kind of museum about the Amish. We decided to do the Amish farmhouse tour where they take you through their old Amish house from 1840 and give you lots of information about the Amish. After the house you can walk around the rest of the 'village' which has a barn, an Amish one room schoolhouse, an Amish store, buggies, and more. It was a great place to start our day and we learned a lot, even though there were no actual Amish people there. After the Amish Village, we drove to our Amish homestay. We were greeted by the Amish couple and shown around the house. We were surprised at how authentic of an experience it was! The couple is indeed Amish with no electricity, no cars, a line phone in a booth outside of the house. Typically Amish don't take pictures, which they agreed with in saying they wouldn't pose for any pictures. However they didn't mind if we took pictures/videos that they happened to be in. For that reason a lot of the video is us explaining our time there as opposed to them talking (to respect their privacy). The highlights of the trip were definitely the home cooked Amish dinner, learning to play shuffleboard, and going on a real Amish horse and buggy ride!!! This was such an amazing experience that we definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the Amish way of life.

You must come back to Lancaster County, you missed the best sticky bun and cinnamon bread with or without raisins and other specialty breads. On 896 just a couple miles outside of Strasburg. Michael's Home style Breads. Also the most photographed scenery, you can see all the way to Welsh Mountainside.
😱 no way! I’m actually from Lebanon county so I’ll definitely be back! But I haven’t heard of those sticky buns. I’ll have to try them next time I visit home 😍
Thank you for including our pretzel bakery in your travels! I wish I had been there to meet you. We love Green Dragon as well. So many desserts😄
-Chrissy
I think my dad eats more Martin’s Pretzels than anyone! 😅🤣 and it was so funny because my boyfriend tried them for the first time when he came to visit PA a couple weeks before this video and he LOVES them too! 😍🥨 thanks for making great pretzels 🥰🥰
@@NataliesPassport That's great!😄 So many customers tell us they have been eating them for years. We will keep on trying to supply everyone with the good old-fashion taste!

Just watch briefly but enjoyed it much---my wife just watched it from start to finish. We are not Amish but love them, and Menonites, very much! Thx for very educational video.
Aww thank you 🥰🥰 that's good to hear! My neighbors the first 18 years of my life were mennonites!
Holmes County Ohio has a lot of Amish riding electric bicycles.
😱 oh wow! It’s so interesting how their rules are different in different regions.
@@NataliesPassport Holmes and surrounding counties has several groups of amish. They have Old Order, New Order, Swartzentruber and Beachy Amish.

Yes!!!! We actually wanted to go there when we left the Amish house, but when we showed up it was sooooooo busy!!!! So cool you visit central PA all the way from Jersey 🥰
Nooo! Shady Maple is ultra touristy and thrives on bus tours and souvenirs for tourists.
Katie's Kitchen on Hartman's Bridge Road( 896 south of Rte 30) is the real thing.
Amish owned and run.

We’ll be back one day, but there are so many places in the world that we want to explore! 😍
The difference is Amish drive gray buggies the Mennonite’s have black buggies
I didn’t know that until this video 😱
I live in Philadelphia only 1 1/2 hours from Lancaster PA , and never knew of that market. I have heard of the Amish house tour, however, I have never went there either. What is the name of the market that you went to in this video? I would love to go out there on a Friday.
It’s called Green Dragon! It’s been around a long time - the first time I went was in high school over 10 years ago 🙈😅
❤❤
🥰🥰
ternyata ada delman juga disana
Yesss - we got to go on a real horse and buggy ride! 😍
Did they fry them in lye? Or brush them in lye I forgot but my grandma had a pretzel factory there
Mmm I think brush as they baked them in an oven? But honestly I have no idea 🙈😅
So clean place.......❤ From India
It is very open and green…but there isn’t too much around 😅😅😅
@@NataliesPassport do you know about the place name of eagle??
They are not the traditional Amish 🙂 I'm not saying they are not Amish just they have decided to step away from the traditional living. For those that don't know, there are several branches of Amish. Also they do not like photos or videos of them as they feel it's breaking God's commandment of engraved images. At least that is what I was told.
I have ancestors on one side of my family that are Pennsylvania Dutch and I love learning about them.
Yesss - there are different types of Amish. The swartzentrubers are the most strict ones. But these ones were definitely still Amish. I spent the first 18 years of my life with Mennonite neighbors and tons of Amish like 10 minutes away - even this family lived less than an hour from my parents house.
I highly doubted that ‘real’ Amish would allow people to stay at their house, but the man had an injury which stopped him from working - I think that’s why he’s allowed to let people stay. When we asked about pictures and that he said they won’t pose for any pictures, but if we take pictures as they’re working, etc it’s okay (again I think that was his personal decision as he has met so many English people and had so many people stay at his house that I’m sure have asked if they could take photos). Overall it was a really enlightening experience that I definitely recommend if you’re in the area!!
What do the Amish charge a night with dinner and breakfast?
I have a blog post about our experience, how to book, etc that you can read here nomadlifeforme.com/amish-homestay/ 🥰
Kapan Anda kembali lagi ke Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
We should be back in SE Asia in a few months! But then we’re not sure of anything specific….just wherever flights are cheapest 😅 but we will be back!
Cruelty to animals. It's not a good idea to have a horse work so hard to have to pull a cart and people that is cruel!!!!😢
NO THANKS!! Lived around the Amish and Their "CULT CULTURE"!! The Things That Go On in Their Lives are HORRIFIC!! Everything That Glitters Is NOT GOLD!!
I’ve also lived really close to the Amish for the first 18 years of my life. I never said it ‘glittered’, but it’s still super interesting to learn about!
You're painting them with a wide brush as if all Amish households and individuals are the exact same. It just shows how bigoted you are.
Natalie talks so fast I can’t keep up with her she talks to much Charles can’t get a word in 😮
Sorry you couldn’t keep up 😬
It's really worth the trip. Wait for me to save up money before going there. I just started working in Seattle. I am from Thailand
Oh that’s amazing! Hopefully you like Seattle and you can visit the east coast one day! ❤️
@@NataliesPassport I just left Thailand for the first time in my life. I was shocked by the vastness of this place 😅😅😅
@@serjunserjun1518 Aww I can say the opposite after growing up around this area then moving to Bangkok 😜 culture shock is real! But Bangkok now feels more like home than where I grew up! Hopefully Seattle will grow on you the same way!
I want to.come and never come back. Being kicked out for low funds but I can do something.... I need help but. We can do it
