Those aren't Amish. They are Mennonite. Many Mennonites drive vehicles. And, why did you ask him why they came to that Farmer's Market? Are they not welcome there? Why should they not come there? What would be wrong with him not wanting to be filmed? I wouldn't want to be filmed either. And girls wore dresses in any weather, for hundreds of years. It may surprise you to know that a cotton dress can be cooler than jeans and a shirt.

@luvmybantys Hi, thanks for your comment, the reason why I asked him why he came to the Farmers market was that I am intersted in Permaculture, local farming and I was trying to get a sense of Who was farming and selling produce in the area.

I want people to go to an Amish-Mennonite lifestyle I think the future of the human race depends on it.

um. why were amish in the back of a truck? was it being pulled by a horse?

[valhala56]

@infinltyshock They were across the street at Starbucks drinking latte's and playing World of Warcraft Online.

It might be the opposite about being our future food. Monsanto is trying to own ALL rights to seeds, and our Government wants to make a law that you can not grow AND sell food....

@jehovahuponyou they are not saved when they are born and they dont belive in infient baptisem they wait till they are older to make that choice on there own. and why then do you act like you know all the facts

My local farmers only grow grass for japanese cows, how can I support them?

[DurhamRebel]

@infinltyshock they can be in cars. they just dont drive

[valhala56]

@WHITECOYOTE65 Yeah and it just might get back to this lifestyle in a few years. I'm planning on learning horesmanship as I don't think cars for everyone will be around to much in decade.

He wanted to say something to you about filming him. Amish won't even bat an eye if things turn ugly. They will be a reliable source for food, and I'm sure they will accept silver if the dollar collapses. They might have to beat their ploughshares into swords at some point though.

I'll never forget the day I was hiking up Mt. Katahdin in Maine. Not an incredibly challenging hike compared to some other hikes, but it is a day hike, approx. 12 hours long with some scaling involved.

Me and my group where moving at a good clip when all the sudden a Mennonite family in traditional (and impractical) garb just blew past us. A Mennonite family on top of a mountain. Something out of a Leslie Nielson flick.

@carolinelandry75 - Thanks Caroline, Blessings in Return!

Respond to this video... ...part 2 ....I take great comfort just in knowing they are there and witnessing their example. I can imagine what it would be like not to have that witness before me - it's so much easier having a community to support one another. We have to do our best to walk with the Lord even if we can't have that community engagement, and I believe the Lord rewards our efforts even now as we sojourn here.

Bless You~

@jehovahuponyou Thanks, jehovahuponyou.That sounds like a rough bunch you have in your area.I totally agree about finding a few of God's people in every group.In the end its not about the name above the church door,and our Mennonites here share that belief as well.I do feel fortunate to have such a loving and accepting congregation here.I've never known such humble and selfless people in my life. I cant contribute to the community as much as i'd like since they are not that close, but .....
