My husband and I toured the homes, barn, school and did the Amish buggy ride. The young girl who did our tour through the homes, was very informative and sweet. It was very neat learning more about the Amish couture! Also loved buying treats in the store at the bottom of the more modern Amish home. The soup and bread was amazing! The cookies too ;) the barn was neat seeing the huge horses! The school tour was okay, nothing too special. Really enjoyed the Amish buggy ride. Our driver was very nice and talkative. Would really recommend this establishment!
This was the more interesting thing we did in the Amish Country. Other tours of the house, school, and barn were very interesting. We learned a lot about Amish culture. The desserts in the bakery were delicious! The owners were very kind as well. I ran over a nail and they plugged my tire for me. I definitely recommend this attraction!
We LOVE to bring family and other out of town guests to this site. It's a little pricey, though, so we go only every other year, but it's truly an authentic glimpse into the Amish way of life. To me, the buggy ride alone is a highlight. You will get a personalized tour (led by an Amish woman) into a former Amish home, including upstairs into the bedrooms. The property is beautiful to see. I highly recommend this farm tour.
My wife and I travelled to Zanesville, Ohio to visit our really close friends. One of the attractions listed for us to do on Saturday was visit the Yoder Amish Home. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I can truthfully say it was way more than expected. We took the four part tour (Homes, barn, school and buggy ride)Our guide was tremendous and very knowledgeable and we were amazed at what we saw and the insight he gave to the lifestyles of the Amish. All the people were very friendly and courteous.
This was a great stop while we very driving around Amish Country. They have a great gift shop and Bakery. We did not tour the home but we bought from the bakery, which is on an honor system, you box your own goods and use the money box to pay for your items. We left some additional money of course and the goods were amazing! I would advise anyone to stop here and take a look. Fee to tour the home is nominal but don't remember what it cost.
This was a nice tour. I enjoyed the barn the best and seeing the animals. Staff was friendly. We are familiar with Amish community already and I enjoyed learning about their schools. Which I had limited knowledge about before this visit. Part of the tour was seeing two young ladies baking, which sucks you into buying bake goods! Simply because you can't walk away from the wonderful smell. The bake goods where very cheap and on the honor system. A wonderful and relaxing time.
This was a very informative trip and we learned a great deal about the Amish way of life. The workers were all friendly and the home baked good were yummy! I would go back again, just because it was relaxing.
This was on our to do list as part of our visit to Amish country. This was well worth the trip and gave a great overview of Amish life and history. We did the house tour, schoolhouse and took the buggy ride. Entire tour lasted about 1.5 hours even with visiting the barn.
This was a really interesting and worthwhile stop, and very good value. There are three tour options: (1) two homes + barn, (2) buggy ride and (3) school. But the package with all three is only $12 (a savings of $4) (and $8 for under 13s). Home tour ends in the bakery with very tasty and very inexpensive cookies, also lots of homemade jams, pickles, etc. are available. Gift shop also has lots of interesting and local finds. Samuel the home tour guide was energetic and a wealth of information, I learned a lot about the Amish culture of yesterday and today. Buggy driver was very friendly and the talk in the school was also informative. Highly recommended.
Would recommend. Staff wonderful and insightful. Only did the house and barn tour but have a great time and learned a lot. Loved that that had fresh bakery items for sale ON A HONOR SYSTEM. A must if you want to learn about the Amish.
