During our short
road trip to Ohio, we decided to go to the little Switzerland in Ohio, the Swiss village. We seldom go there so when we do, we buy some Amish products that we don't find here in our area.
I love going on a road trip in Ohio because they have such a vast area of agricultural land. It is relaxing to see farms.
These crosses caught my attention. I am not sure what this was but I thought it was very interesting.
We love seeing cows and horses because we never really see one here in our area unless we go drive down in West Virginia.
A friend of mine got all of their furniture from the Amish furniture store, they said their furniture are high quality.
Sometime in the future, I would like to try the food in Dutch Valley restaurant and bakery.
Ohio and Pennsylvania are the two states with major Amish community. We're fortunate enough that we are in the middle of the two states. Although it is quite a drive, it is worth the time because you get to see a different way of life in their community.
You know you are near the Amish community when you start seeing horses and carriages.
I love their mode of transportation because it is environmental-friendly and also cheaper as they don't have to buy gas. I'm not sure what those horses think about them travelling everyday but I guess, it is pretty normal to them.
My kids love roaming around in this store because there are samples of food in every corner.
Sugar Creek is a beautiful place. There's a lot of interesting things to see and learn from.
A friend of mine said that it is nice to go out there during winter. We haven't tried that but maybe someday.
I have only been to the edge of Ohio but I do love the country. I lived in Western Kentucky for 11 years and the scenery is just like this. So beautiful. The Amish are abundant and their food delicious.

The only Amish market I've ever explored is the one in NYC. I would like to visit the Dutch Valley in Ohio, especially to shop for some furniture. I imagine is classic and extremely well made.
ReplyDeleteI like the peace and quiet, the place looks like it's perfect for roaming around and just exploring. It would be nice to stop by that swiss store!

I actually live pretty close to here. We will have to keep this in mind for a summer getaway. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great place! I need to put this on my bucket list. I also want to experience their culture and learn new things.
ReplyDeleteWow these images simply took me back home to Africa, Although I too wonder what those crosses mean! So pretty, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. It is so nice to see the countryside, away from all the noise and stress of the urban jungle!
