We have some that we do business with on a regular basis with there and have became friends with. Some truly great people there!

Farmville Virginia is a strong community that has been in existence since the late 80's, my wife and I lived there and when there was need of help building many farm buildings in the Maine communities we moved there 14 years ago. When my wife passed away this past March i decided to sell my farm here and move back to Farmville to be near my brother and daughter and set up my Grandfather house and build a couple greenhouses and garden and settle in and wait for our precious Lord. The Farmville community just lost a couple this last Sunday and their 8 children were injured in a vehicle/buggy accident. My brother told me that there were hundreds of Amish brethren from several states that came by horse and buggy and by ride sharing for the funeral. A wonderful thing happened that i have rarely seen before. The English community came together to feed and house the mourners on Thursday and cared for their animals and even the people hired to provide transportation. Nearly $100,000 has been raised by the English side of the community in one week alone. God's Love is shining bright in Farmville.

I live here in what we call “Amish Country” in Ethridge, Tn. They are one of the oldest order that still exists. No colored flowers including flowering herbs. I walked around the back of the house with an Amish lady and she showed me her secret herb garden that stays hidden from the public. I also went upstrair of an Amish home and saw Amish fiction books packed up sitting on the stairs. 😂 She said they aren’t suppose to read them but she does. 😂 I use to take them to Nashville to the chiropractor and to the dentist regularly (before I started working.) I would get dozens of letters weekly asking me to take someone somewhere. Once they start trusting you, they don’t mind asking. However, the appointment or destination has to be more that 20 miles away for them to use a car. When they move, they pay a semi truck to come haul all of their belongings and animals to the new location. They move to start new “settlements” when they start getting so many in one settlement. You can only have so many blacksmiths, bakers, candle makers, and hickory rockers makers in one area before you start encroaching on each other’s business. 😉 I have a dentist friend that would meet me in a small guest house in the community and do free dental work for them. They have the worst dental hygiene of anyone. Many of the youth have dentures by 18 years old.

Southern Kentucky has a huge community of old order Amish, new order Amish, old order Mennonite, and new order Mennonite, and all of those communities work together a lot. Scottsville is often mentioned but it is only one small area of the larger anabaptist communities out here. Elkton, Guthrie, oak grove, pembroke, trenton, Liberty, Hopkinsville, all comprise one large area of these diverse settlements. These folks are incredibly entrepreneurial and provide the entire Kentucky and Tennessee region with greenhouses, farming equipment, farm fencing, draft animals, barns, homes, organic feed, cover crop seed, vegetables, etc.

The plain Anabaptist communities in Polk (Delano), McMinn (Englewood/Athens), and Monroe (Tellico) counties in TN have gone through some changes over the years. They aren't Amish. Their church services are in Engish, not Pennsylvania Dutch, and the openely accept outsiders into the church. Some of the members are former Amish, but they are more Old Order Mennonite, and are nearly as conservative as the Swartzentrubers.

There is a pretty good Mennonite community right outside of Star City in Lincoln county Arkansas. They have their own shopping center outside of town called the Village. The locals call them the cult as they are rather standoffish outside of selling you something in a shop. Generally if you are an outside male they don't allow their women to deal with you. If you walk in a shop the woman will walk to the back and get a man to ring you up. When I was a kid a lot of the older ladies would refuse to even walk through a door held open for them by an outsider male.
