The Patreon is now live! There are already 2 videos for patrons๐
The top image here shows Ben in 2010.
In The Ben & Erik Show (Episode 1), we talk about what he's doing there (and a whole lot more! over 1 hour long).
In the 2nd video, I share 7 ways I'm "Amish".
This YT channel isn't going anywhere. But I hope you'll consider joining the Patreon and enjoy some additional cool content. Check it out here: www.patreon.com/AmishAmerica

This channel's first video went up a little over two years ago. Since then we've grown to well over 50,000 subscribers and 9 million+ views. Feeling very humbled by the great response from you - and just want to send a big THANK YOU for your support!!
Another note: you may have noticed no new videos have gone up for several weeks. I'm still here - just taking a small break to upgrade the Amish America website (amishamerica.com/). See you soon!

Finishing up the next vid - on visiting horse-and-buggy Mennonites in Pennsylvania. Some Mennonites live very much like the Amish - plain clothes, low-tech, horse-and-buggy travel. Have you visited any plain Mennonite communities? Pictured: Fully-loaded fruitcake at a Mennonite roadside market. Just posted: Visiting Plain Cousins of the Amish - https://youtu.be/CLg866sSfes

Happy Thanksgiving! How do the Amish celebrate the day? The short answer is: a lot like non-Amish do (family gatherings, day of rest, and of course FOOD ๐ฆ๐). But, there are some specific customs found in different Amish communities as well.

All about Amish culture, people, beliefs, communities & more.
My name is Erik Wesner and I'm not Amish. Back in 2004, I met the Amish while selling books.
Since then, I've visited 5,000+ Amish homes & dozens of Amish communities. My book on Amish business, Success Made Simple: An Inside Look at Why Amish Businesses Thrive, was published in 2010. I run the Amish America website.
I love visiting new Amish communities, staying with Amish friends, and learning more about this unique group of people.
