I’m fascinated with the Amish. I took a buggy ride with a chatty elder Amish man the last time I was up there. He answered all our questions and talked about how they really don’t cut off communication with relatives who leave the religion. That was nice to hear.

[@theappalachianchannel]

That’s cool

[@snowshadow11]

new faces and places. Lots of great people are in the world, too bad we are shown mostly the bad stuff. I enjoy your channel.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Thanks for watching and thank you for your comment

[@Castleknight]

One thing that strikes me about the Amish Country you filmed is how clean and neat everything is. Things are well maintained and manicured. I didn't see any litter. The rest of the country could do well, to take after the Amish in that regard.

[@richardhensley9555]

The bakery in this video is the number 1 bakery in that area. There whoopie pies, bread, rolls, pies, and cakes are amazing. Hope you all got to try some of there baked goods.

[@robertclubs9908]

Awesome show Thanks.

[@marclaw4511]

The Amish seem to have adapted into very astute business people.

[@davidsmathers5621]

Love the Amish

[@theappalachianchannel]

We do also! Such an interesting culture

[@eileenhudson4934]

Yea it is so clean and neat in the Amish country.love the area..Been to Bird in Hand!!! And other places in the area.grew up in Chester co.,Pa.

[@lizhoffman6611]

Very beautiful area!!

[@theappalachianchannel]

It is and I bet it is even prettier in the Spring and Summer especially Fall

[@ronbass8136]

Thanks John, been to Amish country there and Ohio, wonderful good and great people.

[@mason-dixon-north]

I'm glad that y'all are in PA! It's the forgotten Appalachia. After visiting the Gettysburg area, head about two hours west to Bedford. Lots of history! Revolutionary War, French & Indian War, and Civil War soldiers walked these mountains. Coal mines, steel mills, and farming were the normal way of life here. Many people view east Tennesse/western North Carolina as "Appalachia", which it is. However, there is so much more to Appalachia to explore! Don't forget about us! Love your channel!

[@SRocco-dv8we]

Lovely beyond lovely ❤….can I take an “online Amish course “ and move in ? Lol 😆. If not , well a buggy ,hat ,horse, white crisp shirt and suspenders…and a great attitude about people life and religion (any)…….will DO IT ! Lol 😮

I am truly fascinated by the wonderful places you visit. The old stores, the old ways, just everything you feature is new to me, and I wish we could all live a simpler, healthier, courteous and natural life. Thank you for showing us around.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Glad you like them!

[@ncbranson2856]

I grew up not far from Lancaster PA. Alot of farms (both Amish, Mennonite and regular) loved harvesting time and seeing those big old farms

That was so cute when Jody was feeding the goats, the big ones wanted all the treats. And the way she was talking to them. The babies were standing back just watching. Love your videos, John. It's like we're all there with you, you do a fantastic job! Happy traveling you two. Thanks for taking us along on your journeys. Watching from Missouri.

I'm from Philly and frequent this exact location several times a year.

[@melissabutler2145]

Hi, my mom and I go to Lancaster every summer. We love visiting. There are so many great places to visit there.

[@theappalachianchannel]

We enjoyed our visit for sure. Pretty country but I bet it would be prettier in the fall especially spring and summer. Thanks for watching.

[@steveperry2314]

Love it up there. We drive up from Va at least once a year to go the the shops. If you ever go back, try Lapp Valley Farm for fresh homemade ice cream and try Achenbach Pastries in Leola, Pa. for Long Johns and Whoopie Pies.

[@TheSassy777]

Another good one!

Jody and John, I love your channel. The places you visit are beautiful. I live in Northeast Tennessee and enjoy traveling on your videos. Thank you for all the hard work.

[@theappalachianchannel]

This is Jodi! Thank you for your sweet comment and thank you for watching

[@richardhensley9555]

Other things in the area that are great to visit is Riehl’s Quilts and Crafts. It is a very nice store where over 100 Mennonite and Amish families come together and sell all there homemade things in. It isn’t far from Bird in Hand bakery where you all visited. Sight and Sound does amazing productions. The Li’l Country Store and Mininature Horse Farm, Dieners Restaurant, Kitchen Kettle Village, Kauffman’s Fruit Farm (has best apple cider), National Christmas Center Museum, BB’s Grocery Outlet, Roots is on Tuesday and is big farmers market, and Green Dragon is on Fridays and is a big farmers market. There is so much to see in Lancaster County. Hope you enjoyed your trip. Goods Store which is right across from Shady Maple Market is like a Mennonite Walmart but is really nice and different than Walmart.

[@tim_gifford]

I love Bird in Hand bakery! If I lived closer I’d be their daily!

[@onrycodger]

Such a shame you didn't make your way to lapp valley cafe in Gordonville (about another 20 minutes down Rt 340). It has EXCELLENT sandwiches and atmosphere

[@paulyoung5327]

Wow I have brought Amish families in this area to weddings and have visited many of the shops along 340 and 772. Awesome memories you've evoked with this video. I love it.

[@theappalachianchannel]

I love this place! Favorite county to visit!

[@janefriel6895]

I have been there.Some time ago now.The Amish have restaurants. They seated us next to a German family at a huge,long wooden table.They announced we were from Ireland visiting so everyone can share experiences. Thoroughly enjoyable. The food was amazing. Been there a few times.Worth the trip.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Wow, that’s awesome

[@stevegordon5689]

02:49 I thought the Amish didn't like being filmed, i noticed you got a look or have i watched too many movies.

[@theappalachianchannel]

I was given permission to film. I never film without asking permission.

[@davidsmathers5621]

Hey John you might want to stop at Harrisburg train museum awesome place

Geesh, “been in business for 50-years, since 1972,” now, I really feel old, I graduated HS in 1973.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Cool

[@wendyzimmerman6002]

I surely hope you didn’t leave with out baked goods they’re delicious

[@Castleknight]

I wish our government would work on demolishing old buildings and houses that have fallen into ruin, all over the country. Work with the owners, but if it's abandoned or a safety hazard, tear it down. Our country needs to be cleansed of all these eyesores.

[@stevedriver1476]

everytime i hear that music and see them homes i cant help remembering the TV series the civil war by Ken Burnes, a lot of these places saw terrible times and its a good thing to see its peacefull and respectable UNLIKE Sydney Australia where i live. Its Un civilized, Has no Culture and has become a rat race and i need to travel 3 hours west to see civility like this video. Thanks mate Steve in Australia.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Thank you Steve!

Who’s that? I’d have to look him up. Thanks

[@1954shadow]

@@theappalachianchannel he went out and recorded all the old timers and their music

[@sjs9354]

Everyone knows not to film or photograph the Amish. Did you have special permission. Incredibly rude even if they weren’t Amish. Stopping video. Return email notifications not available at this time.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Yes we did have permission. I would not film anyone without their permission. Thank for your concerns.

[@sjs9354]

@@theappalachianchannel Very concerned having lived among the Amish and Mennonite communities and frequented their markets for many years in Pa. Would be a good idea to mention permission in your video so other tourists who don’t understand, stick a camera in their face. And if you did mention it and I missed it, then I apologize.
