Inside Most Conservative Amish Home (Swartzentruber) 🇺🇸

The Swartzentruber Amish are the most conservative Amish and pretty much off-limits to the outside world and to the camera. Surprisingly, I was invited into a Swartzentruber couple's home! Join me as we enter a secretive world that none of us have ever seen. MORE BELOW ↓

What's been the most surprising aspect for me making this series is learning that there are many different types of Amish people with different beliefs and different lifestyles. We, outsiders, tend to put one label on the Amish but as with most things, it's more complex than that.

Here is an oversimplified list of different types of Amish I met while in Holmes County, Ohio:

-SWARTZENTRUBER (the Amish in this video. The most conservative and most removed from the modern world).
-DAN AMISH (somewhat removed from everybody else, conservative).
-OLD-ORDER AMISH (can't drive vehicles but some of them can ride as passengers, only have steel wheels on their carriages, not rubber. Allow Rumspringer--their youth to explore the world and "try things out").
-NEW-ORDER AMISH (Broke away from the Old Order Amish. Less conservative than Old Order, but more conservative in the sense that they don't promote Rumspringer, they use rubber on their carriage wheels, use more modern sliding doors on their carriages, some have phones.
-BEACHY AMISH (The most accepting of the modern world and the closest to the most conservative Mennonites).


Also, I have a lot more Amish content coming and the next one will drop Wednesday followed by Sunday. I'll be doing 2x a week Amish videos for the next couple of weeks. Enjoy! Watching the Amish definitely has a relaxing effect :)

Schwarzentrub is a tiny village in rural Switzerland, many farmers of that area migrated into the US in the 18th and 19th century.
Greetings from Switzerland

What a nice way to live. Completely cut off from all the drama and trauma of the world. No news, no internet, no TV, not even phones. Just living your life, in your own peaceful community. I admire these kind, humble, hard working people so much.

The reason your so successful at this is because the amount of respect you show towards the people you meet I’m in the Brooklyn Jewish community and felt you did a great job with us and you are very non threatening as well here to the Amish people enjoy showing you their lives cause you show genuine interest and respect keep it up

I grew up in an area with Amish and Mennonite people. My mom purchased milk and butter from the Amish. I can still remember the clop, clop of the horse’s hooves when we had a delivery. Mennonites had cars and electricity, and were super nice people. The Amish were more reserved, but also really nice people.
I was a young boy, and it was just after the end of WWII. Both the Amish and Mennonites were very helpful to us, as I remember.

I'm a pilot and have lived around old order Amish my entire life. I once had the opportunity to take an Amish man for a ride in a small airplane. His mind was blown and so was mine. It was a fascinating experience for both of us.

As someone who lives close to, and does business with the Amish community here in Ohio, I appreciate you highlighting them and representing them so honestly. They deserve recognition for who they really are. Incredible people with incredible stories to tell. Some of the kindest and most inviting people I've ever met too.

I hope they get to have children soon, they clearly are wishing for that. ❤️ Struggling with infertility is so hard...

The thing that really stuck out to me watching this video was between sentences how insanely quiet it is. No tv's, no phones buzzing, no heaters blowing, no fans turning. Just the occasional kids voice in the background. In that lifestyle it seems like you would be able to be very present in the moment. This was a really cool video.

There is a large part of me that thinks these people are doing life right, and the rest of us are filling our stress balloons until they burst.

This was so interesting. One thing I have found with the Amish is that everything they do/make is high-quality. Their furniture, their food, and other produce. I don't know if they farm everything organically but you can taste the difference. Also the pies and desserts, of course! So delicious.

I love what Peter is doing here. I am an Amish person from Holmes County and I can assert that he is presenting a very balanced view of the Amish. Too many people's ideas of the Amish are warped by TV shows or even books that present a very unrealistic view of who we are.

[AmishAmerica]

So neat you were able to film inside. Sometimes people think "conservative" or "traditional" means closed. Not necessarily the case. Friendly folks!

[sergius]

Anyone notice their houses are so freaking clean? 😲

[danmorgan]

After how the past two years have been, I wouldn't mind living like this cut off from all the insanity. Thank you for sharing.

[pholliez]

I grew up in Central NY, the Amish are moving in and it’s great! Saving the old farms and reviving them.

[femmy]

I can see that the house looks really clean and orderly, both inside and outside. It speaks very well of them. Impressed!!

[teenarl]

Peter demonstrates more journalistic integrity than actual jounalists. Excellent video. I visit this area every year and always come home restored and renewed. Mennonite churches are very welcoming.

[explaincauseidontgetit]

I hope this couple will be blessed with many children.

Love my Swartzentruber neighbors in Wayne County. I walk down the road from my home and past their farms, and while I know, objectively, that they have “hard” lives in terms of labor, the peace that emanates from those charming, timeless places makes me think that maybe it’s worth the effort.
