Amish Information Welcome to NY’s Amish Trail. Check out the following Amish information and tips to help you with your visit.
Who are the Amish?
The Amish adhere to a Christian faith and belief system that values community, unity, family, faith and hard work. The Amish in our area are Old Order, a very conservative and traditional community living without electricity, phones, cars and other modern conveniences. Most commonly recognized by their plain dress, horse and buggy transportation, and old fashioned farming practices; they live an intentional lifestyle that separates them from the modern world and is centered around their families and Amish community. They make a living from farming and handcrafting products for sale.

Where are the Amish shops?
The Amish sell their products from their homes--the Amish Trail map will help you locate their businesses. Look for a sign in their front yard and an open sign to direct you. You will not find any large Amish stores or commercialized Amish shopping areas or attractions. Rural, small town, personal and friendly is what characterizes this area instead. An authentic Amish experience!
