Mennonite. Thank you for saying it’s not amish right away. We live right down the road from here and soooo many people just automatically think amish. Finally a KZfaq channel that went there and don’t just say Amish.

@jbinthehills 10 ай бұрын

We always knew that but EVERY KZfaq video we have seen from here always said that. We try to be accurate the best that we can. We wanted to tell it the right way. Glad you appreciated it we wondered if anyone would pick up on this. Thank you for the comment. 😎😎

Just a few miles from my home. Imagine growing up and living there for a lifetime. We appreciate them. The family that owns Shady Maple is the Weaver family. They are Mennonites, very close to Amish. One thing to remember about PA Dutch, Mennonite, and Amish, they do not usually use a lot of spices. We are pretty much just salt and pepper people. I always get the pork and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes. Yum. Thanks for sharing this.

@@heathermanning5368 Marvin Weaver is the patriarch of that group. The land around there was always primarily owned by the same families for hundreds of years: Weavers, Goods, Peachey, Shenk, and a few more. If you drive around there, you will see Weaverland Mennonite Church and Weaverland Rd. The families are Godly, hard-working people. It is a wonderful place to live and visit.

The buffet itself is the largest and I love the variety and food. My favorite items include Cajun Catfish and Salmon ( Fri and Sat dinner only) , the steamed and cold shrimp, the chicken wings ( lots of varieties), the cranberry rhubarb salad, the hot bacon dressing, fantastic salad bar, the cheese's esp the Amish, the breads, flavored cappuccinos, desserts especially pies such as pecan, shoo fly, peanut butter and the ice cream bar. Their fries are great too .. potato and sweet potato. Just love this place. Great video!

I lived in Dayton, OH back in the 80's and fell in love with the Amish culture. I'm planning a trip to Lancaster next year to visit these lovely people. I'm in Alabama so I get enough of the soul food, but I'm so excited to try the ham balls, noodles and shoe fly pie! If you have the time, would you kindly give me a referral?

Staying our favorite is the Fulton Steamboat but it can be expensive. They changed the room I was told but haven’t seen it. Stay in room on 3rd floor it’s an adult only floor. If you want Amish the places are Katie’s Kitchen and Dienners that is not a 100 percent Amish owned from what I’ve been told but has a great set up for the money. We also liked Fireside Tavern and Gracie’s on West Main #2 ranked on TripAdvisor where I got that big bacon platter. You have to see Sight and Sound that is a must and check out American Music Theater to see what shows are going on. The Eden is a fancy hotel a few miles from the main Amish area that is very nice but expensive. We stayed there but didn’t film it. Feel free to contact us with more questions if you need.

For the past few weeks here in eastern Pennsylvania we have been getting the most delicious watermelon. I love watermelon I've been eating it almost everyday. I also love asparagus and brussel sprouts but I don't want crunchy for me to have to be cooked all the way through to perfection. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

Hi guys, I always enjoy when you frequent Pennsylvania restaurants, as I’ve been to many of the places as I live about an hour from them. I wanted to note a hidden gem, Hennings market buffet (similar to the Yoder’s restaurant). It’s in Harleysville, PA (Montgomery county, east of Lancaster). Have a great weekend.

Amy and I ate there last week. It was a bit overwhelming, but the food was fantastic! We hit it on seafood night. The only disappointment was that the steak was a little tough but still delicious. I was a little embarrassed on how much food I put away, but it was once in a lifetime.
