Cliff getting ready for Amish school. Below are pictures of an Amish school room. They only are educated through the 8th grade.
Amish farm house below.
Only in an Amish catalog.
Cliff did not drive this carriage. We were just first on waiting for our driver and the rest of our group.
We took a lovely carriage ride through the Amish country side. We passed a school. Teacher was playing baseball with the kids.
Below is the 2nd of our 3 groups to take this ride.
Wonderful canned jams, pickles, salsas, all made by the Amish community in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. (There is actually a town with this name.)
The small dairy farms (both Amish and English) are finding it very difficult to make a living. Many have gone out of business. Milk prices are very low and consumption is down. This is an Amish diary farm below. Much smaller than the Kreider farm.
This dairy farmer's wife makes and sales quilts to help pay the bills.
Took a tour of the original Sturgis Pretzel factory and learned the history of this factory. They have really perfected the pretzel making process. The plant is no longer located in this small town. It's a very large operation now.
We learned how to twist a pretzel below.
