Meet the “Farm” in Amish Farm and House
Fun Activities for Children
Animals
You may pet any of the animals that come up to the fence. Please be cautious as they are farm animals, not pets. Please do not feed farm animals with outside food. You may feed the animals with treats that are for sale in the gift shop, $1 per bag. For interaction with our animals, check out our Farm Animal Fun Tour below.
Amish Schoolhouse
Amish children attend private one-room schools. You can visit an Amish-built schoolhouse that is located on our farm. The schoolhouse is open 7 days a week. Use the scavenger hunt and make the visit to the schoolhouse educational and fun.
Artisans
It is not uncommon to see our Amish friends and neighbors working side by side with “English” (non-Amish) and The Amish Farm and House is no exception. In addition to our Amish farrier and various Amish friends who regularly sell their wares through our farm, we are pleased to have various artisans that find their home at the Amish Farm and House. Learn more about the Artisans here.
Scooter Run
Amish children do not use bicycles. Instead they use two-wheeled scooters. You can take a real Amish scooter for a spin on our farm at no extra cost! Mom and Dad will love the scooters too!
