Amish Acres

The Amish are a unique group of people that live in America.  They don't believe in advancing "with the times" so to speak.  They keep their lifestyle simple and maintain their lifestyle of farming and simple clothing.  Many Amish try to make money selling food items, hand-made furniture and household items such as quilts.  They still have to pay taxes and buy a few things.   You can visit a place in Nappanee, Indiana called Amish Acres where many Amish live to get a flavor of how the Amish live, but they don't like you taking photographs of them, so please be respectful.
