It just dawned on me. I’m from MO, not Ohio. I was hoping to get more Amish here.
That’s funny.
The Amish are a novelty at a distance.
Up close not so much. They are terrible to do business with, they will over hunt an area with no regard for conservation or abiding by hunting seasons, and their horse and buggies sharing public roads are dangerous. I service a quarry in south central Missouri right through the middle of Dunnegan (Amish country) and I have had multiple near misses with them. One involved a small child driving an out of control buckboard.
As for all their “homemade” goods, that is a big laugh. My wife tried “shopping” at serval of their stores and the vast majority of the items are repacked manufactured products.
At least they’re not on the government payroll I guess.
Stand in line with them at the market and you’ll notice they don’t use deodorant…….. kind of tough on these 95+ days at Hannah’s General store in Fair Play.
