Amish Parking Garge


You will see these buildings in the parking lots of most grocery store in Lancaster County (even at Walmart).  Its a parking garage for Amish horse and buggies.  The "English" are very courteous and leaves the spaces open (I have never seen a car parked under one - no matter how full the parking lot) so the horses have shade while their owner shop.

September Farms Cheese

September Farm Cheese makes and sells National Award winning cheese.  They are located on RT 23 in Honey Brook PA. If you want to watch them make their cheese you have to visit them in the morning.  Their store has a lot of free samples, a deli style restaurant and some delicious looking homemade ice cream in gourmet flavors.  Try their cheese curds - they are excellent.  Webpage

The Amish Mafia Sites

The Amish Mafia has been caught filming all over the area for their Season Two which is beginning in August.  The authenticity of this "reality" show is such a joke.

The filming was done in the following places:

  • East Lampeter beer distributor
  • At a party staged near Strasburg
  • A vacant apartment building on the corner of Grant st and Brimmer Ave in New Holland (pic below)
  • The New Holland Livestock Auction, 101 W Fulton St, in New Holland
  • Choo Choo barn in Strasburg
  • Farms on Bowman Road in Strasburg and on routw 741 between Strasburg and Gap

Looks like they are keeping the cast and crew on the run!

The New Holland Livestock Auction


Local farmer bringing calves to the New Holland Livestock auction.  This auction is an interesting local place to see many horse and buggy Amish and Mennonites.  The horse auction is on Mondays.  It is also rumored that they used the New Holland Livestock auction in the Season Two reality show THE AMISH MAFIA which begins in August 2013.
