Great story about our new neighbors. I grew up in Amish country, Langhorne, Pennsylvania, in Bucks County. The Amish are wonderful and I welcome them! They have great restaurants! One of the best aspects of the Bitterroot Valley is the interesting mix of social, cultural, demographic, religious, and political flavors.
I thought the article was very interesting because I knew very little about Amish beliefs or values and this article was most informative. I hope that this summer the community will have some sort of open house. Although the community tends to “stay by themselves,” I do hope they will invite us in to join with them.
