No, no…it’s more interesting than it sounds.

On Saturday PASA hosted a farm tour of Centre County — the county that is home to Happy Valley and a number of Amish folk. On top of the fascinating process of environmental stewardship, farm profitability, and prosperous farming communities, meeting and interacting with people of a culture that separates itself from society was an experience everyone should have.

I would have pictures of the people we met — like Raymond Fisher who makes kombucha and is an amazing horse rider, or Elmer and Martha King who make ghee and wonderful chocolate/coconut pops; both of whom had adorable bright attentive children — but the Amish don’t like to be photographed so you’ll have to be satisfied with photographs of their farms (and a couple of distance photographs of Amish driving horse teams).
