The Amish in New York (50+ Communities)

Where do the Amish live in New York state? Did you know that NY has the 5th-largest Amish population? I take you through the state's many varied Amish communities, and give some ideas on visiting Amish shops & businesses in the Empire State.

My name is Erik Wesner and I'm not Amish. Back in 2004, I met the Amish while selling books. Since then, I've visited 5,000+ Amish homes & dozens of Amish communities. I run the Amish America website. More: https://amishamerica.com/
