I live close to Lancaster PA and I have to say, Amish homes and yards are so well maintained. Their vegetable gardens are beautiful! Not a weed in sight.

There is a story about amish farmer in Missouri who made an extremely high yield of winter wheat the university of Missouri Extension service flocked out to his farm and asked him how he made such a high yield he replied I had 3 barns full of manure and 4 strong boys. They shook their heads and left.. it's called recycling

Wow...no traffic....no sirens...no noise...no crime. Beautiful!

Simple life,no laziness, being fruitful and expanding families. I really admire this

I absolutely love the Amish. They are the friendliest and most humble people I have had the honor to know and speak with when I lived in PA. Truly remarkable people

In my experience, the amish are friendly, polite, hardworking and loyal. You can find quality craftsmenship and know where it comes from.

I like that they don't refuse modern conveniences. however, they WILL NOT be dependent on the system. this is true independence.

The door is such an inventive idea...very wise people and good workmanship! Thank you Amish Jack for sharing this with us and for the time it took you video it and upload it here...a lot of curiosity about the Amish it seems...a lot of people want to know more about them...I lived in a place in Ohio where there were many Amish families and they were all very kind and generous with anyone who needed help with things...never took a dime when they came to help either. Thank you again!

Some time I'm thinking to go back living like an old days..

I really like that door too. Seems sturdy.

I've met Jack before we were invited to his home and they showed us it was beautiful!

Live simply,raise your kids w.values,learn a trade,cook farm fresh.....wow. Lost art.

I had to replay the first part showing the scenery....absolutely beautiful area.

Cool that they're getting into solar. These people won't have a problem when the grid goes down.

The Amish have such prosperous and tidy looking farms.

I remember the old, old house! 1963, I was 3. my first memory. I went in to my grandma and grandpas house. no electricity, no bathroom. My cousin Bud took me there. Walked into the living room. A potbellied stove set in the corner. I was burnt severly on it in 61, don't remember that but still 55 years later I still have the scars on my hand and both legs. I remember my mom and sis and grandma in the kitchen. Grandma or Mom went to the stove and got me a bowl of beans. I'am pretty sure it was a wood burning stove. First meal I remember. Just a thought! Don't know why this video brought this memory back, but it did. Have a nice day my friends.

LOVE Lancaster, PA!! Life seems so much more simpler, I wouldn't mind living like this😊

I like the fact that they're German and they're playing Mozart in the background

The amish in Wisconsin are so polite and hard working. They sure know how to build barns

This is so cool. Love seeing all the older artifacts and treasures. You are doing what many Americans want to do, which is living off the grid. Thank you!

I did not know that the Amish and Mennonites shared a home, we have a large group in western Canada - called Hutterites

They come here to visit sometimes. They are always welcome. As an outsider i cant tell the difference between Amish or Mennonite or anything else they are doing. It is always interesting to talk with people. I think they are sincere and honest. I wont turn christian.

That table/bench is awesome! Ingenious.

modern technology, mass production, and common comforts of today's living ways can not stand up to that of what is shown here in this video. the solid functions of everything seen here will and has stood the test of time. there is a peaceful beauty that rests in knowing if you make something right, when you do right. no one can say anything negative without proving themself a fool. thank you for providing us a peek at such wonderful simple goodness that this world is so missing

I read many Christian books so when searching for books to read I came across your books which I love. I’m not Amish yet your books are fascinating, interesting, the way of Amish life, family, style of life. I love the down to earth way you write, sharing feelings we all feel. Thank you, thank God for your wonderful talent which I’m sure touch many lives. Thank you.

Very educational. Thank you for posting. I certainly enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing information about your life , the old pieces of furniture are beautiful !

We were in Ohio a couple months ago and visited the Amish there and I wish I was born Amish. What a lovely peaceful life.

You are quite welcome. I've learned so much from Jack, and feel like he's my best friend. Make the best day.

We have a Mennonite area close to where I live and we go there to buy produce and other things. I guess in a way I don't like to go there because when I get there I do not want to leave.

Oh I LOVE YOU, you're amazing to do video's like this! I have Mennonite and Amish in my family, part of them being IN Lancaster, Pennsylvania - one was a master carpenter who did beautiful work and taught his sons, another was a very experienced and talented midwife whose crafts and knit/crochet (which she will deny until she dies of old age) are so beautiful, especially her quilts and clothing - we used to write letters A LOT - I miss them so much, God love you for doing this. Am crying but they're happy tears because they remind me of my extended family and how close at one time we used to be. I haven't been to Lancaster since I was 9 or 10, but when I was there it was a great time of my life. xxx

I bought a porch swing handmade by the Amish 30 + years ago . It still hangs from a tree in my yard in perfect condition.

I like every part of this. Thanks for sharing.

cool place, i have a walk in closet, he has a walk in fireplace. He wins

Gosh! I remember watching this a few years ago👍😊 I thought this gentleman had given up on utube? I do hope he, and his family, are still well and keeping safe. I have subscribe again👍😊 Blessings to you all. Moira From England.

The sounds of clip clopping instead of horns. Great livin.

Thank you, Amish Jack, for explaining things in such interesting detail! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I kinda like that Indian door, too; a lot! :-)

Never seen that bench/table design before - love it!

Love that door, that is wonderful. I also like those doors where the bottom can stay shut, but the top opens.

My Grandmother's from Lancaster Penn. Love the culture, and the door

I like your door too Jack.I also love your bench turn table I have never seen one.

Thank you so much for sharing. Very interesting about the solar power, bench table and door. I look forward to learning more.

Pretty music. Sweet and lovely. GREAT DOOR!

Mozart in Amish Country! Two of my all-time favorites! Thank you!

I love that door shown at the end. Ingenious. :)

Thank you for your hospitality and your valuable information. It's much appreciated. God Bless! Ps I also like that door, it's so amazingly practical.

beautiful home. peaceful. i like the amish

This man sounds like a neighbor I used to have. He wasn’t Amish just a regular guy like this gentleman.

Among other things, I very much enjoyed the selection of pieces for the soundtrack. +1

Great vid! LOVE the door and table!

Loved the door!

Absolutely beautiful!!!

Love the door, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tour. I'm a little late watching it, 8 years later.

I like that door also,very good craftsmanship.

So cool! Love learning about Amish life! Such wonderful natural people! God bless

I LOVE that door!! 🤪Very cool! Great video. Thanks for sharing!

I love that door too ... wow and the kitchen table is neat

Beautiful and serene!

Looks like heaven. Very special. Thank you.

Enjoyed watchinh the story of the amish. Thank u

The amish are great up in clare county Michigan

I truly love the Amish way of living !!

I really like the door with the shutter. If you see a stranger coming to the door and feel the need for extra security, you can put up the shutter.

Tree veneration is missing here. Planting new woods takes away from grazing, but woods are an important part of the creation. Living large like this is not simple/plain.

Oh man Love your video, Thank you so much for sharing

Like the idea of the front door using that other board sliding up to protect the glass that gives me something to think about

I visited these people from the Netherlands and felt right at home. They live like the Germanics (Dutch or Deutsch) did, not to long ago.

Less stress, healthy lifestyle Respect

Loved the Indian door!

Thank You I enjoyed this.

A big thank you to the lovely Amish man!😊

Lovely. I might be in outer London but the peace and birds and animals, and horses that go by on the very quiet road, the woods, the huge trees on my land and some of the old things in the house are not too different although we are worlds apart.

Nice video. Thanks

Love the opening scene! It's just like being there!

These men can do anything. Great Faith

Beautiful homes!

That door is fascinating!

I admire amish people a lot!

My mother's family was from Pennsylvania, hence; Pennsylvania Dutch background. I learned a lot about being frugal and I practice those things today.

Thank you for sharing

Very interesting video sir! I wish there was a way to experience this in person.

The front door was awesome

thanks for sharing i subscribed...from phoenix ...peace

I love the Amish they very hard, workers God faring people

Things that last, rather than mass-produced, are the very best.

I wish my exterior doors were like that one he showed at the end. It's both esthethically pleasing and secure when you need it to be.

the music makes it sound like we're in the Shire

Wow a high tech security door! Luv it.

These people are so smart. I love them. Some in Abbeville SC and they live on large farms and own very successful businesses. They own eateries and the food is incredible and firebox business, countertips. Everything they do is first class.

so beautiful there and beautiful built home love the fire place

Ever since my family took a trip to Lancaster Pennsylvania and we had the honor of meeting some Amish people and seeing their farms I have loved the Amish way of life. They have the most beautiful farms and are the nicest, sweetest people ever

I love the amish house! so beautiful and so practical !!!! : ) I ll take it !

Beautiful home, I’ve always wanted a walk in fireplace, I was told it lost to much heat up the chimney.

I was a Mennonite, my grandmother, and grandfather are Mennonite they took me and my brothers and sisters in was our dad and mom gets in the army. I went back to live with our dad and mom. I do not miss the Mennonite life. I do keep some of the Mennonite ways I make all of my family cloths and make our bread and pasta sauces and ice cream and laundry soap and canning and more. my one sister is living in our grandfather and grandmother farm. If kids now cannot live without a cell phone and tv. I know if we have a good storm the power goes out. I know that I can live by cooking outside in a grill and have lights. My husband loves all homemade foods and clothes and more homemade things.

Thank you for sharing!

Nice door ....quite practical ...🙏🏼

If only we could all live simply like this...

I love the door.

So peaceful, calm and white 😍
