We didn't find any farmer's markets, and one grossly over priced fabric store with nary an Amish woman is sight.

You have to be a local to know about the farmer's markets. They hold them in different places on different days, and they are out in the middle of nowhere. But if you really want a Pennsylvania Dutch experience, that's the place to go.

When I first moved here, I was a business consultant. I was hired to do some planning for a local meat company. They had a picture on the wall of a guy loading meat into the back of a wagon. The owner told me it was his great-great grandfather. I replied that his company must have been in business a long time. He said that his family has sold at the farmer's markets continually since the 1750's, more than 100 years before they even had photographs.

That taught me a lot about the Pennsylvania mindset. They have deep, traditional roots and they are very slow to change.

Thank you for the pictures. What a nice surprise to see so many Amish out in support of the President. Astounding really.
