Ohio passed up Pennsylvania as the state with the most Amish sometime back in the 1990s.
I would think it would be "I Brake for ShooFly Pie", but then, I don't speak Amish...
They should transplant to the desert. There’s a whole bunch of nothing out here and the heat will keep the tourists at bay.
Plenty of good land in eastern Nebraska...
Lots of them in Michigan as well. I even ran into an Amish family fishing in Lake Superior from the breakwater at Grand Marais MI.
I was going to say...come to OHIO! Still lots of rural land here, aside from Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati!
As my late Grandpop Klauser would say, now we’ll see more of the richest farmland in the world turned into subdivisions.
I would think it would be “I Brake for ShooFly Pie”, but then, I don’t speak Amish..”
Actually it could be either. “I Break...” because it is something you eat and you normally take a break from work when you eat. “I Brake..” because you see a sign ahead that tells you about a restaurant that is serving ShooFly Pie and so you want to stop.
If you want to be Amish, you do break for ShooFly Pie, however.
They should come to Alaska. Particularly the Interior region. Lots of room and little government!
Foks, when you get there, let me know.
It’s not easy anymore to find a pleasant, green place where the idiots of the world will leave you alone to live your life in peace.
I’ll probably pack up the van and join you.
Now that Pennsylvania’s Republican governor has given in to Gay Marriage, the Amish have no choice but to leave the state.
You would be surprised how many new settlements there are around the state of Ohio. Southern Ohio is the newest location with new groups in Highland, Ross, Pike, Vinton and Adams counties, as well as Gallia. The church districts are growing rapidly in Logan county too.
Many Amish and Mennonite families here in the Missouri Ozarks.
There is a newer group of transplants from PA in Fountain City IN these days. Rather than adopt the black buggy style used in most of IN they brought their gray buggies with them.
SHHHHHH, then we’ll get those areas built up.
Unless of course prospective buyers are led through fields loaded with invisible chiggers.
actually there is lots of farmland in NYS but then they have Quomo and the leftist machine....
The biggest threat to the Amish in Lancaster, PA is simply the cost of farmland. There is less due to development Amish families are larger than average American families. This has caused farmland to spike in cost and pushed Amish in to the trades. The exodus of Amish to form new communities in other states has been going on for 30 or more years.
