Here’s an interesting article on a produce auction in the largest Amish settlement in Tennessee (article no longer online).  The settlement of ten church districts at Ethridge, Tennessee, is a conservative Swartzentruber Amish affiliation.

So it was interesting to see local Amish contributing to this article, as well as learn that the area has something called an Amish Welcome Center with maps of farmhouses in the area with goods for sale.  Even though the community may be a conservative one, they are engaging the public in the form of the media and visitors in promoting their enterprises.

I’ve not yet had a chance to visit this community but perhaps someone else has?

If you’d like to learn more on the Amish in Tennessee, read more in the Amish State Guide entry Tennessee Amish.

And, more to come from Ohio, where I just arrived last night!  It’s a beautiful time of year.

The Ethridge community is an hour or so south of Nashville.  Read more on Amish furniture in Nashville.
