Visit the “plain people” in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. We have revised the tour to show the contrast of the life of the “plain people” to the successful agri-business of Kreider farms. Our coach actually drives through the cow palace. We see the cow carousel, and a high-tech dairy. After lunch, we visit the farmlands and attractions of the Amish Country. Lunch or early dinner can be at either Krieder Farms or at Plain & Fancy. For those only interested in one of the tours, we can view “Jacob's Choice” at the Amish Experience Theatre. For those looking for the “traditional” Amish Experience , we can eliminate Kredier farms and concentrate on the Amish homestead and farmlands.
