Devil's Playground ~ Amish Rumspringa Documentary
1 recommendation
"Okay, so the This American Life I'm listening to right now is blowing my mind. Particularly this story about the 2004 Documentary Devil's Playground. It's apparently about where when Amish kids turn 16, they're set free to indulge in a lifestyle of whatever bad things they want to get into and then decide for themselves if they want to return back to being Amish."
Devil's Playground

"This is a must see documentary about Amish teens. When they turn 16, they go through a period called 'Rumspringa' where they get indulge in the outside world in order to decide whether they want to remain in the church as adults. Pretty cool, huh? Rather than coercing kids through fear they allow them the freedom to experience and choose. Unfortunately, many of the kids go overboard (some even be..."
Walnut Creek Furniture

"Amish-made, heirloom-quality, cherry wood mission bench. When it comes to furniture, the Amish have it. Granted, I don't take to the pure oak look that they rely on, but that stuff is the best quality around. I love the cherry for this bench."

"Oh, the pain of wanting this ice cream freezer yet it costing hundreds.

Amish Country Choppers

"Just because they're Amish doesn't mean they can't be kickin' it like their cooler cousins. Featuring an Amish dude on a tricked out bike (non-motor variety, of course). Best on black, although available in a heather ringer."
Hulless Gourmet Popcorn

"I am always looking for a snack that makes you feel like you are cheating but you actually aren't. So what I am addicted to right now is Amish Mart Black Pearl gourmet popcorn. It pops up small and light. You don't get anything stuck in your teeth and if you have any digestive problems this is the popcorn for you. But here is the best part. This popcorn has 4 grams of protein, 7 grams of fibe..."

Branch Hill Joinery
1 recommendation
"The Amish traditions of crafting and design simplicity are alive and well in Michigan. Ten years ago, Ann Gordon, a Web designer at the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering, wanted to buy some "real wood" bookcases and finally had them made by an Amish craftsperson. That was the beginning of Branch Hill Joinery, which produces custom furniture using solid woods and old-time construction ..."
Hammond Pretzel Bakery Home Page
1 recommendation
"When I was a kid, my family used to drive from New York to Lancaster, PA to get a taste of the Pennsylvania Dutch lifestyle. The highlight of the trip was a visit to the Hammond's Pretzel factory and we would always return with a couple of 5 lb cans of Hammond's Pretzels. These are the absolutely best pretzels in the country."
