October 18, 2021Key Takeaways: Thanksgiving in Amish Country
- A Different Kind of Holiday: The Amish celebrate Thanksgiving with a focus on family, religious customs, and hearty feasts, typically without modern distractions like television or sports.
- Fall is Wedding Season: October through December is the peak time for Amish weddings. These massive community events often involve hundreds of guests and require even more preparation than the Thanksgiving meal itself.
- Where to Feast: Popular local spots like Miller’s Smorgasbord and Smokehouse at Plain & Fancy Farm offer traditional Thanksgiving menus and “to-go” options, though reservations fill up months in advance.
- The “Amish Turkey” Defined: An Amish turkey is locally sourced and raised on a Lancaster County farm, often (but not always) free-range, providing a fresh alternative to grocery store birds.
- Perfect Holiday Home Base: Located near top attractions like Sight & Sound Theatre, AmishView Inn & Suites offers the ideal setting for a holiday getaway with breathtaking views of the harvest landscape.
