Buggy Rides--Leave the car keys in your pocket, and take a peaceful carriage ride through our 15-acre farm. Your 15-minute ride will take you around our buildings, through our historic covered bridge, through the fields and meadows, past the schoolhouse, and back. Listen as the driver explains the farm and animals. Your visit would not be complete without a buggy ride!

Blacksmith--The Amish Farm & House is pleased to host members of the Pennsylvania Artist Blacksmith Association during various times of the year. Our civil-war era blacksmith shop comes alive as the blacksmith pounds away on the anvil. Watch as he demonstrates the art of blacksmithing and listen as he explains the importance of smithing both in colonial America and today! A blacksmith is here during special events and periodically throughout the year. Call for exact dates.

         

Woodcarver--Visit Chris, our resident woodcarver. He is a nationally known author of several books about the art of whittling. His hand-carved roosters can be seen around the world. Watch as he takes a simple tree branch or twig and transforms it into a beautiful and unique rooster--using just a pocket knife! Inside his shop, see one of the world's smallest carved roosters (you'll have to use a magnifying glass!).  One of these small roosters received a certificate from The Guinness Book of World Records! You'll marvel at the wide variety of things that can be done from a simple pocket knife. As a special souvenir, have your name wood-burned onto a "name log". Don't forget about his collection of slingshots too! Your visit to the woodcarver is a must while at The Amish Farm & House!
