Animals and Wildlife in Amish Country

There are many types of animals in Amish country. We thought today we would recommend a website about caring for pets as well as wildlife! The website is called Wildlife Pet Care and can be visited at http://www.wildlifepetcare.com. This is a great resource for pet care and should be bookmarked.

Amish Summer!

It's Amish summer 2008, a great time to visit Amish country!

In Ohio's Amish Country, the weather has been nice and warm, so Amish life is buzzing with activity. The Amish people can be seen everywhere in Holmes county as their buggies and bikes seem to be all around (please be careful while driving through Amish towns and back roads).

While having your Amish experience, be sure and take a look at Amish furniture, Amish quilts and dine on Amish food. Rumor has it that Breitenbach Winery just keeps getting better and better, so be sure and pay them a visit; especially if you wish to try some incredible Amish wine.

Happy Vacation!

Amish Store Updates!

We added an Amish quilts store to the Amish website we own. We thought it of value to be able to offer an eBay listing of quilts available on-line.

Updates to Amish Country Virtual Tours!

We updated our Amish site with some interesting stories about places and towns in Ohio Amish country.

If you want to see a very unique hardware store, then Lehman's is the place to visit. Lehman's Hardware houses brand new, but old-style appliances, tools, lamps and more!

While traveling Amish communities, it may be a good idea to understand how these communities of Amish and Mennonites came to be. Read about the Amish Mennonite Heritage.

Lastly, a small hidden town of treasure is well hidden within the country roads, hills and waterways just east of Amish communities within NE Ohio. Zoar, Ohio has a rich history, old buildings, museums, shops and more. Read about the separatists and their flight from Europe, which is not unlike the Amish pursuit of religious freedom.

Teen Driving...in Amish Country!!

With the amount of teens driving today, we thought it important to write about this subject and how it relates to buggy and car crashes that occur from time to time in Amish Country. Amish passengers in horse driven buggies truly stand little chance at survival of such horrific accidents.

Teenagers simply do not understand how quickly an accident can occur. Speeding through Amish communities is not a safe practice, as one never knows what is coming around the corner or what lies beyond the next hill. Parents need to promote safety by instructing their teens in becoming safe drivers and not just throw them behind the wheel of a car.

We found a pretty cool webpage called, "How's My Teen Driving?" They sell an inexpensive bumper sticker that can be put on a teenager's car, so witnesses to the teen's bad driving can call the parent's phone number. What a great idea! Here's the link: Teen Driving Bumper Sticker.
