- See the largest Amish community in the world - rolling hills, bucolic farms, horse-drawn buggies, postcard barns and young colts romping. Another 'Small Places in the World' video by www.robinbenzle.com.
I live in Wayne county Ohio. Thanks for making this video
U have the best video on Amish I have ever come across on U Tube. Ur presentation is very clear and smooth ...keep it up with more details and elaborate this topic as much as u can, would love to see them all or any thing similar.
I grew up near Millersburg and never knew Holmes co had the biggest Amish population. Learn something new every day. I love it there.
It's a wonderful getaway for us!
I can't thank you enough for creating, then posting this! Your warm, good-hearted nature shines through, and your footage displays the beauty of these bucolic settings. I especially enjoyed how you said: 'to admire but not envy' the way of life. I want to thank you again for taking the time to give us this little gem!
Such a Sweet lady to do this video. Informative. Didn't know a lot of these things. We have a couple of Mennonite bakeries which are Very busy & make a lot of different kinds of foods which we enjoy especially at Thanksgiving & Christmas time here in Augusta, Ga. Where we say hope you're ' Fortunate ' enough to be able to get a ticket or two to our world famous Augusta National Golf Tournament. Hopefully we will be able to host in November. ! ☺💝
Gods blessings amesh people are living very happily , hard working , and look s simply , looks, very beautiful . living peacefully .
I was born in Sandusky, Ohio. Thanks for the great video.
2:45 I would be in heaven, cheese everywhere and a majestic beauty serving it.
Hello American people from Uzbekistan 😊❤😊
Howdy, everyone!
Beautiful simple life style. Love
That it is!
Thank you , I did share with a friend that’s having a home built half hour away ,so she can benefit from its beauty and the fresh food they sell.
Thanks much for sharing!
Thank you, it was just beautiful, and you Robin so cute talking with the cows:)
We love Holmes county, been going there for the past 13 yrs. We love Berlin and our favorite restaurant is Boyd & wurthurmans. Also Mrs yoder's kitchen in Mt Hope
Lovely video I must say! My hubby was born nearby in Dover, Ohio.We are going to Holmes county tomorow morning for the weekend! Its nice to have a hubby tour guide that knows his way around well!
Very Nice! We go There a lot and I Ride my bicycle there once a year about 78 miles. Love it!! And don't forget to stay at Dutch host inn. They have package deals that will blow your socks out.
Guy Maggio Thanks! I'll keep that in mind (the Inn part, not the long bike ride)..
RobinBenzle I bet We pass you by There :) My wife wants to know about your back roads where is the best places to drive by?
Guy Maggio We just like to get lost on (especially) dirt roads - couldn't tell you where they are except in Holmes County.
RobinBenzle Ok Thanks We just found out about the www.neonaturalist.com/trails/holmes_county_trail.html
I wish I was living like Amish, I love Amish people and their life style.👍🍀🌴🌼🌾🌸
Jennifer 007 some order of the Amish are not friendly to us “English”. They won’t speak and try to avoid us. Things are not always as they appear
@@bobmiller9313 Bob, few years ago we went to Amish community as tourist, they were talking English very well, i remember they were selling their crops and they were talking only English. Anyway im tired of these much war, disease, machin life, i prefer to live in a place like Amish area, where life is much easier than this.
Beautiful place. I loved visiting the peaceful country farms in Lancaster County, PA a few years back. I am going to add Holmes County, Ohio, to my bucket list!
We're lucky it's pretty close for us, so we can occasionally do an 'escape' day.
I married a young Amish girl from Berlin Ohio 61 years ago. She went with me to Virginia. But she never forgot her Amish roots. And we always had a good relationship with her Amish family even though we weren’t Amish.
What a lovely story! We have some wonderful Amish friends that we see often. They like to hear about our life and we like to hear about theirs!
What a great video, so glad I got to see it. Thanks so much.
I enjoy your videos very much... I enjoy your explanations of everything...🥰🥰🥰😇😇😇😇. Congratulations 👏 👏.
Thanks a million!
I live in Columbus..south of Holmes County . We were just up there last week and it is such an awesome place. If you have never been there,you must go !
Yeah, that's what you think. If you were living up there for a year, then you would be begging to go back to the Hillard-Dublin area. Trust me. You have no idea.
michaelw352 Its my home and I love it.
Yeah go to Columbus where everyone wears their pants down & blares rap trash eveywhere
You're fortunate to live near Amish people, Robin! When I lived in southern Indiana, I visited an Amish town in northern Indiana several times, Shipshewana. It was like going back in time. I went to a quilt show there and I was amazed at the creativity that went into those quilts! And they were all cut and sewn by hand.
It was fun to visit all the different Amish shops. Strolling around an Amish town in the evening is wonderful!
We are lucky to be so close - a great escape at our fingertips..
yes we live about 77 miles from there
Anthony Starfield They do make amazing quilts - and their woodworking is exceptional too.
Wow, as many times as I've been to Millersburg over the years, I never knew of that place.
Thanks for the video ! I also Love Holmes county . You showed a couple barns right down the street from me. I moved from city life to East Holmesville about 3 years ago and I Love the peace and quiet. Berlin Elementary has the best teachers ever ! I'm very blessed to find this house because houses are hard to come by in Holmes county. For rent or sale. Fruit and vegetable stands are so plentiful . I have the friendliest Amish neighbors . I just can't say enough about Holmes county.
We love to take drives there - you're right - it's just so peaceful. We made friends with an Amish family many years ago and they're terrific (great senses of humor). We've been to their kid's weddings and they've been to ours. It's fun to visit each other's lives..
Hope you had a good time. It's always such a great getaway..
It sure would be a lot tougher to visit friends!
Great job, was in Berlin and the surrounding areas this weekend. So beautiful just driving the backroads and viewing the fanastic scenery. All the buggies it was a great site...thanks for sharing!.
Husband and kids went this way to get to Ft. Wayne. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Thank you!
Sounds wonderful! I moved to Vancouver back in 1979, and I am longing to come home to the Bible Belt.
@buffalo27 It really is facinating country to visit. So glad to hear you like our site!
Thanks for the time and effort to make this....thank u.❤
My pleasure!
An interesting place to visit. It looks like southern Chile. Greetings from Santiago.
Thanks! That, I would love.
You sure had a good camera. Nice video tour. Thanks...especially grateful in April, 2020.
Thanks! Nothing like a little armchair travel..
Good Job.... I live in Millersburg and work in Charm. I work for the Guggisberg. I work for the Amish Country Ridding Stables, behind the Swiss Inn.... Anyway, great job. Keep coming back......
I really enjoyed your video out of all the ones I've watched. I feel that Berlin is getting too commercialized I love the Rolling Hills the horses the Barnes I have a love for Barnes and love to paint them. So I really enjoyed all the pictures that you took of them. We are heading there this weekend I hope to get on some side dirt roads and enjoy the quiet peaceful settings and do some painting.
Thanks for writing! It's a great little escape for us, too.
I went to the one in Pennsylvania n it was so nice n peaceful n we ate there n the food is delicious! This reminds me of The Little House in the Prayrey
We have amish friends in Berlin Ohio . They have electricity and keep a coffee pot under the cabinet the lady said what people don’t know won’t hurt them
Ha! We have Amish friends, too and they use generators for everything.
I want to live in a life like this.. Peaceful away from the city, I hate city life it's so stressful 😠
I live about 30 minutes from here
Plz stay in the city and do not torture yourself
Farm life is not easy,
Early morning starts and very late finish,
It is backbreaking labour.
Tv and internet can make it look lucrative and an easy way of life.
jasbarsoph. That is why makes Amish a very excellently peoples. God bless the Amish people.
Pyccka. I understand all too well where you're coming from. I want to live somewhere that is peaceful & calm. Hope my husband & myself can move up to North Ga. Mountains. I've lived all my life here in Augusta, Ga. Just want something with a different scenery.
Thanks for video
Sure thing.
Interesting life, that's for sure!
I've always been fascinated with the Amish home life. If not for my love of big bathtubs, hot running water and central air-conditioning, I think I could have enjoyed the rest :) I'm in upstate NY and we have some old Shaker community buildings and museums here. They were a single/celibate religion, and as you might imagine, they became extinct very quickly :). But the life was very similar, and the crafts and wood-workings are perfection.
Theres quite a dark side to the community.
Love the video. We shop in Millersburg.
We like to stop at Bags for lunch..
@CuriousEarthMan Thanks so much for your comments! Amish Country is a facinating part of our culture..
Thanks for the video I grew up in Polk Ohio I left the Amish when I turn 18 years old I do you like the Amish way of life but there’s also a lot of things that is very hard to keep up and not do when you’re not supposed to I was a troublemaker
I would have a tough time being Amish, but we have good Amish friends..
Beautiful
I have many amish neighbors here in Harrison county Ohio and one amish guy is a mechanic and his business is on the internet.He has many cars sitting around his garage. Quite a break from the normal amish
They use gas generators to power large saws, but the buildings are all put together by hand. They all help each other build, so you'll see many men at one building site. At the cheese stores, not all who run them are Amish.
@Aon1one Thanks! It's always a great road trip.
I like these life so interesting.
Very different!
Nice intro music !
Thanks..
Oh, thanks! Santiago is on my list. I know a guy from there..
My pleasure. It's a great place to escape to. -Robin
Yes it is! It's two hours..and a world away..from where I live.
@RobinBenzle Great,, you will have to come up to the stables..
@JeroenSitV Thank you so much!
Amazing
A very unique place!
Amis trabajadores un ejemplo a seguir saludos desde mexico
0:27 Amish man on buggy- "Hey Yoder, watch this. Im gonna screw up this lady's video!" Lol.
Actually, no, because we have good friends that are Amish and we usually eat at their home. Der Dutchman is pretty well known, though.
Haven't heard any complaints..
My father and mother grew up in that area of Berlin and Mt. Hope. My dad's father owned Keim Lumber Co. in Mt. Hope way back in the day. Yeah I was Amish until I was 19.
Wow, interesting!
If there is Gods People on Earth thats them the Amish folks everything else is fake they are the real thing i pray that the Lord bliss them and make thier living prespourus in everyway thanx for the Video
Do you know if the Amish horses have any problems for the tarmac road surface ? Is it too hard ?
I live in holmes county !!
@camomule Wow, good deal on the chickens. I heard lots of Amish are moving out west..
I have never been to Holmes County, yet, but, by golly, it looks a lot like Lancaster, Pa.
A Beautiful place, talk about natural peace and serenity, could be Happy living in a nice Amish community, I prefer Ohio over Lancaster anyday
wow beautiful .... sehr schön ich wäre gerne mal dort
@5tonyvvvv It's a great place to escape to for awhile!
Loved it Robin. I am your avid fan! Did you ever have success w making Amish white bread, as I know you cook and have a cooking channel, thanks:)
Thanks for writing! I have never made Amish white bread - mainly because I have an Amish friend who makes it for me! I do have a video for Amish Maple Cookies, though!
Okay, will look at the cookie one. There is a bread video I am trying to use and I have finally, duh, learned to use bread flour. Yes, it matters. BTW, er, who is this friend? I want that friend!! Haha:)
momstheword11 My husband is a builder and her husband makes all his cabinetry, which is how I got to know her. We've had their family over for lunch and we've had meals at their home. She is hilarious, by the way. She's promised me a buggy ride next time I see her! (P.S. I taught her how to make pesto, which she loves, and she thinks she's the only Amish person who makes pesto regularly!).
That is funny. I wish you lived near me. Are you in Ohio? I grew up in Akron.
momstheword11 Yup, Bay Village, Ohio.
I speak and understand some. Not near as much as I should for having lived in the Amish and Mennonite community all my life.
@belkys13 Actually there are pockets of Amish in many countries - a pretty big one in Ecuador, for example.
I was born in millersburg..then we moved to Danville..😉
same here brotha
Millersburg my home town :)
+Taylor Beckett Howdy, neighbor!
Taylor Beckett fredericksburg here
@EricW1063 Ha! (It was actually intentionally filmed that way - he got a kick out of it).
With a lot of buggy-auto wrecks too. Eaglegards...
Nice
this is the life stile im looking for
Interesting..
Are there a lot of last names of Gingereich and Hershberger too?
I know there are a number of Hershbergers and Schwartzenhagers.
When they see me talking to cows, well maybe..
Of course Amish people are beautiful! My question is who does responsible clean up horses pooped from roads? What about horses pooping on farm product while plowing or other equipment during unsafe eating from farm products?
Lastly, how they gets warmth inside buggy if freezing or snow weather while errands, to school or church?
Well, I just learned something. For some reason, I though that the largest populations of Amish people were in Pennsylvania.
Not sure what's wrong,but the vid keeps freezing up on me. Sure would like to see it in it's entirety!!
I visited the one in Pennsylvania, Lancaster and it was a blast. The next one on my destination is Ohio's Amish community.
Try Heini's cheese factory. You get samples of all the cheese and fudge. Across the street is a bread factory. People from all over go there.
Been there a million times!
This in response to some of the negative comments farther down. We were involved with alternative news sources that were asked to go to Blande co. Virginia & report on a " puppy farm" . When we talked to the amish that lived there, they said yes there were 2 families of amish (no children) who moved in 6 or 7 months ago but they do not associate with us. They said they only met once and never heard of them before. They "churched by themselves" supposedly. Within 2 weeks after the arrest they moved. Simply vanished. We trailed long & hard as journalists. Long story short, the trail finally led to fbi & cia & notably blm, which usually operates more visibly in the west. When we got hot on there trail, they got nasty, making very severe threats.We talked to dog dealers & "puppy farms", (they coined the word puppy mills to give it a factory sound.) Sinister. All of these dealers acted nervous because they we under threats not to talk. The money trail actually appeared to come from overseas. Likely London. We never got clear to the bottom of it. But all this to say that it appeared to be a very sinister plot to stage the plain peoples and turn us neighbor against neighbor and attack our independent lifestyles. It appeared they were not really amish but moved in for a few months and dressed like amish. They said they were rarely seen and when they were they made a point to be seen with dogs. They said they never saw "all that many dogs." It appeared they were paid actors to tarnish decent independent people. This appears to be going on in many different realms & areas. Just asking you to "think about it."
I have visited Amish Country my whole life - and yes, it's always idyllic.
Do you have a favorite amish restaurant in Holmes county?
I know a few. What kind of food do you want?
@t74961971 yup Tammi pretty cool they featured Guggisberg. The lady that hosts this a nut lololol you guys ought to have shown Berich Farms!
There are a lot of similarities. Both are intense populations of the Amish..
although most of this information is correct, I feel as though I must correct the part about the beards. As my Grandpa is Amish, he's explained to me that men can shave their beards until they are baptized into the church. It just happens that many of the men get baptized and get married very close to the same time.
Actually, I've studied this quite a bit: it varies from community to community. In some, the men start growing a beard at marriage. In others, they start at baptism. There are some where the men grow a short beard and trim it upon baptism, and upon marriage let it grow freely w/o being trimmed. It all varies from group to group.
How I long to live that life!
J. Candace it’s not as it appears.
How do they make ice cream?
It's a lot less commercialized. More countryside and rolling hills.
You forgot to include the puppy mills the Amish run. They treat dogs like livestock.
Lady Valhalla. Negativ.
Wish i was amish! :)
Ammirah Sandhu I have amish neighbors and some of their life style is not always as they want it to appear
Do you have cheese around it
Ohio here I'm Baptist and love Amish they show me more in love and im gay but the loving Amish was helping me THANK YOU AMISH YOUR GODS LOVE AND CARING!
who cares if you're gay?!.... why'd you bring that up, just another one of those pushing there business onto the public.....if everyone would just keep there business to themselves the country would be in a much better situation
@SpicyMcMan The Guggisberg Cheese is not made by amish... they do provide the milk however....
I want to do this with my disabled beautiful girl.
She'd love it!
@MrHotwheelsfan1 sure...
