Amish Acres Round Barn
After I left Shipshewanna I drove toward Goshen because I knew there would be Amish and Mennonites all the way down to Nappanee. I got a chance to see some beautiful farms and horses along the way but didn't know I was in for a nice surprise.
When I arrived in Nappanee I discovered a place called Amish Acres and they just happened to be having an Arts and Crafts Festival. I snapped a few pics of the old home place with my trusty cell phone, so I could share them with you. Down below I will show a few pics of the festival. As peaceful as this acreage looks, there is a huge crowd on the other side of the barn!
It is so relaxing to sit on a porch in the evening after a long day of hard work. The sights and smells of a farm leave a lasting impression on a young child's memory.
A farm with a variety of livestock and poultry feels so full of life and character. Now days most farms are specialized, raising only one type of livestock, and those hidden away in long enclosed buildings. I miss driving through the countryside and seeing hogs rooting in a field or chickens scratching and pecking in a yard.
Horses have so much more personality than a car or a tractor, they can make life more complicated but always more interesting.
That's what I like about Amish farms... they take you back to the good old days!
The Arts and Crafts Festival was huge! I couldn't believe how many booths were there and what a large variety of goods available.
Food wasn't in short supply either! I highly recommend bringing the family out to Amish Acres for a day trip. Even more fun if you happen to get there during the Craft show.
