Amish country
Plain-living farming region
Amish country refers to rural regions where Amish communities have settled, particularly in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.
These areas are characterized by farmland, horse-drawn buggies, and traditional ways of life that reject modern technology.
The term often appears in tourism contexts: We drove through Amish country and bought quilts at a roadside stand.
