Amish farms
Horse-drawn plow country
Amish farms are agricultural operations run by members of Amish communities, characterized by traditional methods and limited use of modern technology.
These farms typically rely on horse-drawn equipment, manual labor, and sustainable practices rather than tractors or electricity from public utilities.
The Amish farms in Lancaster County draw tourists year-round.
The term sometimes appears in marketing to suggest old-fashioned quality or authenticity.
