We had another question about bringing people with special needs to see the Amish community. I do hope I say these points correctly so if you would like to ask a question or have a story to tell us then put your story or question in the comment section below ⬇️ #amishmennonitetn
I missed my 9am post time but do want to post this video about bringing homeschool kids to see the Amish. I had a question come in that I feel warrants a video as typing might not give the whole story. If you have homeschooling questions or a story of how you have used visiting the Amish to help your kids then please tell us in the comment section.

The wagon tours are open from 9-3pm as the last wagon leaves at 3. Go by and get a map from Diann at the Amish Welcome Center so you can go out in your car and see the stores and shops on the edge of the community that don’t get any visitors and would love ❤️ to see you today!
*update* I did go by hunting for plants 🌱 for our gardens and found some good news and bad news. I explain in the video below. I mention a great place to all kinds of canned foods and many other things to buy. Mary Mast makes these wonderful quilts starting around 100$ mark and going up from there. Plus all kinds of soaps, candles, tack shop supplies, rugs, and you name it! If you have a store or want to bulk buy a supply of foods, she has boxes of them for bulk supply for all you preppers and homesteading people. I highly recommend seeing her at 99 Oaks Road in Ethridge.
The strawberries 🍓 we’re not even poking through so I would estimate the first of April being the early season this year. You may see some earlier but they were still without a start to their fruit.
I do hope all of you are safe. We do have some good news for those coming to see the Amish community here in Ethridge. We are making an ultimate guide to visiting the Amish community and area points of interest. Our course has 4 modules and 26 lessons with over 20 hours of instruction. We also have coloring books and scavenger hunts that can be printed off with Amish themes for those who have kids. Be sure to like and follow our page for news and updates. #amishmennonitetn
Amish and Mennonite breads are usually much bigger than the standard store breads so they may not fit the standard toaster. You can cut them to fit or get a vertical toaster than springs from the bottom. I also talk about Amish butter 🧈 as they do taste different than the store butter as they are practically raw. I do believe a good raw butter with Amish bread makes for a good morning snack for those who like this. Of course Amish jelly or jams could be great as well. Everyone should try a combination of both at least once. #amishmennonitetn
The Amish will be open even if it’s cold this week. I talk about this and planning your itinerary for this year with the help of our website at www.amishofethridge.com as I do need to do a bit of updating but generally you can find out where to stay, eat, and play while here visiting the Amish. #amishmennonitetn
The roads here in Lawrenceburg seem fine but the Amish country roads may not be as good. I trust you know what you’re doing if you want to go look around. I do see Amish kids playing after their chores on many snowy outings. Try to have fun today!
Merry Christmas from the Amish of Ethridge.
If anyone is out a bit late visiting the Amish you can go by Hunter Road in Summertown just down from Henryville. They have over 200 inflatables and lights where you can get out and walk around them. Just park on the farm side of the road. They have a guest book and I think a donation box for those who would like to give. Just be sure to wear shoes and clothes for the weather and have a great time. Here is their page - https://www.facebook.com/share/1AXPULMvkW/?mibextid=LQQJ4d - Amish will also be out so be sure to watch for the buggies on the road! #amishmennonitetn
On my way back from work I made a video talking about how and where to buy meats. Many of you have asked and hopefully this video can help answer your question. I do share a few stories of my personal experiences with Amish meats and if you do plan on getting animals for your own. I also talk about other goods that can be found in the Amish community during the winter.

Once again reminding everyone that the Amish will not be open on Thanksgiving Day but will be open the other days like today, Friday and Saturday as usual. This is I who run this page and I am not and have never been Amish or Mennonite. I love ❤️ seeing people come to Lawrence County to experience the wonderful swartzentruber Amish community and visit the people who are members of their church districts. See our website for information on how you can stay here and interact with them - www.amishofethridge.com #amishmennonitetn
