Here, the Amish life can be experienced in the crafts and delicacies of the simple-living locals. You can also learn about their history, which saw the first families of Swiss Anabaptists come to America in the 1700s. Staying true to their beliefs of modest, uncomplicated living, the Amish have continued to eschew electricity, automobiles and other modern developments, clinging to virtues grounded in the Bible. Ohio’s Amish country is home to the largest population of “plain people” in the United States.
Amish life is serene yet somewhat hidden from the outside world, but some residents open their doors to visitors. Yoder’s Amish Home invites guests to observe the daily life and work of Amish families who call Ohio home. Tour the barn and see baby animals, then hop in an iconic buggy for a jaunt through Ohio’s scenic countryside. In the fall, family members make treats like apple butter and pumpkin butter, and farm visitors can chip in.
