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
The Amish and old order Mennonite will be off Thursday for Thanksgiving Day. They should be working all the rest of the week. I do hope all of you have a great week this week! #amishmennonitetn
I did have a lot of great responses to yesterdays post about people being mean out there. I will elaborate more on this in the video here as I can talk way more than I type. I do believe the harshness has worked against some of us as there are some Amish that have went to selling for one person and our top saddle maker went back to contracting with a company. There are still plenty of Amish who will continue to make things for us to buy so be as kind and nice as you can to them.

I’ve been asked this question so many times I’m just going to make a video about it. So on Election Day which way are the Amish going to vote? Will it be red or green? or silver or gold for Christmas? This is a light hearted take on the swartzentruber Amish here who tell me they don’t get involved with voting 🗳️ as they also don’t want to be tied to any government or political involvement. They are Amish and desire to be left alone without our meddling into their communities. They don’t mind visitors and love ❤️ when we go see them but they don’t want the government or political parties signing them up for things they don’t agree with. I hope you have a good day and make plans to come see the Amish and Mennonite people near you or the Amish community here in Ethridge.
Do the Amish here in Ethridge celebrate Halloween 🎃? No, they don’t really see the need of it. Josh and I were out looking for ghost pepper 🌶️ and they didn’t like the sound of this so go out as if was a normal Thursday. #amishmennonitetn
Ok, here is an update but read to the end. I have confirmed that at 9am tomorrow Joe will be making Sourgum Molasses. The cane is cut and prepared for crushing. Im asking you to bring a court jar and cash with you tomorrow as he may not have got enough of them and he has a lot of foods I will show below in the comment section. There will probably be way more cars than his driveway can hold so park along the road or we may see if we can park at the one room school house field. Just don’t block each other or park out in the road where others can’t pass. There are plenty of kids activities I mention in the video so bring them with you. Making the sourgum molasses takes all day so you should be able to get some before the events start. The mill at 79 McDowell Road should also be doing molasses and maybe at 665 South Brace so go by each if you want to increase your odds of getting fresh jars.
