Yoder's Amish Home Reviews

A guide bring you inside the Amish house and explained everything about Amish living. This one is much better than the house tour at Schrock Amish Farm. The tour includes visit to the Barn and you get to touch the animals. There is also a one-room school opened for visit. You can also opt for a buggy ride as well.

We stayed at the property as Members of Harvest Hosts and it was so peaceful and quiet after dark.The tour and buggy ride -spend the full $13 package-made this place truly special .The Amish man doing the school tour and buggy ride was very friendly and talkative about the lifestyle.The gal giving the home tour was equally educational and well informed.You have to bring extra cash for the baked goods made in the bakery.So so good to eat there or take home !

The farm can be experienced by taking three separate tours or buying the combined tour package for ten dollars. It is an excellent way to get an overview of Amish life and how the Amish used to live and how they live today. There are two houses as part of the house tour and the guide was not Amish but was very informative and answered every question we had and was very open with her answers. There is a working bakery at the end of this tour where fresh baked goods are available at a reasonable price.

It was a good time to do the barn tour as all the animals had recently given birth. We saw twin goats and sheep, a new foal, and baby pigs, cats, dogs and chicks.

The school house building was once used as a school and had lesson plan examples and books you could look through.

We finished off the tour with a buggy ride and were surprised at how smooth and comfortable the ride was.

The been was a lot of fun (but I'm a huge fan of animals) cute little kittens running around. The man in charge was very nice. The house tour was very informative. Our guide, Mary, did an excellent job of explaining things and answered all our questions honestly. The buggy ride was interesting. Could have done without the school house tour, not much to it but it was ok. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves here. Would recommend it to anyone. And by the way...the cookies were AMAZING!!!

Great learning experience. A good way for your whole family to learn about the Amish culture

If you want to know and understand about the Amish, this is the place to go. The tour that we went on was great. We toured the barn, homes, and school. To end everything we had a buggy ride. Fun for all ages.

I had visited this home years ago. I was glad to see that it was still in operation. It was fun to do the home tour again and very interesting. I like learning about different cultures. The clothing was interesting. The school house was fun to visit and we talked with the woman inside who had actually worked as a teacher there in the past. I did not care for the barn - allergies. The buggy ride was fun and the driver interesting to talk with. I would highly recommend a visit here. It's very informative and fun.

This tour of the farm was awesome! Our grandkids really enjoyed seeing the house, the schoolhouse, barn and of course riding in the buggy was a real treat for them and us too!

We purchased the package at $13 each. This includes the guided tours through the house and barn, buggy rides, and schoolhouse tour. Going through the house tours, the guide explains the beliefs of the Amish and the history behind the farm. The house tour ends with the bakery on the first floor. We purchased a loaf of bread, some jams/jellies, and sweets on the honor system. Afterwards, we had a picnic at the provided picnic tables on the property. The barn is 136 years old and has great workmanship. It also has some barn animals to pet. The buggy ride was nice with good conversation with the driver. It is short, but that is to be expected. The schoolroom tour tells how the Amish are educated and what is taught. Since we are educators, we found it quite interesting.

My husband and I found this farm while driving around Holmes County. We decided to stop and buy the combo tickets that included everything - a tour of the house, a buggy ride and the school house. The house portion was informative and interesting. Our guide grew up Amish but is currently a Mennonite. She was very kind and I enjoyed getting to know her a little. The school house is not original. I liked looking at typical school books that Amish children use, but this part of the tour was not worth the extra money. The buggy ride was just sad - it was a hot day and the flies were brutal. Our horse was hot, tired, and being constantly bit by flies. Water was not available for the horses. Ours kept on trying to stop, and although our driver kept pushing her on, I asked him to cut the ride short. The barn was also concerning to me, as all of the animals were in tiny, filthy pens without food or water. What had started out as an informative, interesting tour left me feeling incredibly sad and worried. I would not recommend and I would not return.
If you don't mind animal abuse and would still like to go, I would suggest just buying the house tour ticket. You get to see the original house, the newer home, the barn and the grounds - the schoolhouse isn't worth it and the buggy ride is a few circles around a field with a tired horse.

We had a wonderful tour guide that spent over 2 hours with us teaching us so much about the Amish culture. Visited the homes kitchen where the Amish women were baking and canning. Took a buggy ride around the home. This was our first stop on our trip and I’m so glad it was! What we learned from our tour guide helped us understand other Amish communities and their ways of life.

We took a very informative tour of 2 Amish homes and we guided by a Mennonite guide who's parents were raised Amish. We learned a lot about their life style, the differences between the Amish and the Mennonites.
We enjoyed the buggy ride around the field and had a great conversation with the driver! I had know idea that it was a comfortable mode of transportation!
We sat in the Amish schoolhouse and a guide explained about their education system.
The whole package was very worthwhile!

Loved this adventure. We did the whole package. Really interesting and offered good information. We learned alot about the Amish. We enjoyed the short buggy ride and shopped in the gift shop. Would recommend. Plan on 2-3 hours.

i recommend this if you want to learn about the Amish. we had a good tour guide and toured two houses and the barn. it kept my 14 and 10 yr old grandchildren engage.

The home visit was extremely interesting. The guide was good, and we learned a whole lot about the Amish. We were sorry that the person who talked about the Amish schoolhouse was not present on the day we visited.

Good trip. We arrived at approximately 12 pm and made our way towards the entrance of the visitor center. We bought the combo ticket that included a tour of the home, barn and school, along with a buggy ride. We waited in the visitor center for the next available tour guide. The visitor center contained a small gift shop along with restrooms. The tour guide was very informative and started off the tour by telling us some background information on the Amish community and their way of living. We then made our way over to the house and went from room to room. The tour guide pointed out some interesting artifacts and told us what each room was used for. The last stop of the house tour was in the basement, where we were able to buy some freshly baked goods. After viewing the house we made our way over to the barn, where a different tour guide took us around and explained some of the day to day responsibilities. We were able to see several different farm animals like donkeys and horses in the barn. After the barn tour we made our way back outside for the buggy ride. We waited for the next available guide and then took a quick ride around the site in a buggy. The buggy ride lasted roughly 5 minutes and we enjoyed talking with the tour guide. Finally, we made our way to the schoolhouse, where we were met by another guide who explained how school was conducted in the Amish community. We learned a great deal about the Amish culture and each tour guide was open to answering any questions we may have had.

Tip: I recommend spending 1.5 hours here if you truly want to see everything.

Great way to find out the true facts about the Amish. We love going to Berlin ND the surrounding area because it is relaxing and restful from our stressful careers. Great way to unwind and appreciate how others live.

My mother and I enjoyed it. Loved the rolling hills. Very relaxing. The buggy ride was nice. Surprised to learn there is no flag in the school and they pay tuition. The cookies were delicious being baked in the working kitchen. Not so accessible for older people. Back steps had no railing. The gardens and flowers were awesome.

Driving through Yoder's home. It was great sunny day, my family went to Sugarcreek and drove through Millersburg and liked the city. There are many things to do and very beautiful places to visit, as Yoder's Amish home.

The tours of the house, barn, and school house are all very informative. The buggy ride was a great experience too. We have returned several time just to buy the amazing cookies and other baked goods. We were surprised to see the cookie price increase from .50 to $1.00! That didn’t stop us from buying cookies to deliver to our friends and family.

Go and pay to do everything! It was so fun and informative. The people are very friendly and the setting is beautiful. You must buy some whoopie pies, bread and the peanut butter spread. Just do it, you can thank me later. The highlight was getting to hold a baby lamb and baby goat. It's a great place for everyone, the young and the young at heart.

We found a two for one coupon in one of the local tourist coupon books, but even without the coupon I would recommend this. The schoolhouse tour was rather lame, as it is a replica, not a real schoolhouse. The buggy ride was just going around a big circle a few times, but it was still enjoyable. We really liked the barn tour and the house tour, as we learned a lot about Amish history and culture. The tour guide was very informative and answered all our questions. We bought some homemade treats that were outstanding. I wish we bought more. The grounds and gardens are beautiful.

We visited Yoder's Amish Home again. Again we were not disappointed. To fully appreciate Amish Country, this is the place to start. The tour through the two Amish homes, the big house and the little house, is an education in pure tradition and simplicity. Hundreds of years of a simpler way of life demonstrated and thoroughly explained. The guide was a pleasant Mennonite who knows the people, the customs, the history and the area. The homes were furnished with authentic Amish furnishings and clothing with explanations of how each item played a part in their lifestyle. After taking in the house and the pleasant views from the window and the delicious aromas coming from the working kitchen, we went to the barn. We spent just about as much time in this old barn as we did in the houses. The barn is filled with animals and baby animals and each held our attention - from the young mule, the horses, cows, baby piglets, beagle pup, barn kittens, chickens, baby bunnies - I know I am forgetting a specie! The guide in the barn was very personable and knowledgeable. The buggy ride was peaceful and enjoyable as was Roman, who was the driver. The visit to the schoolhouse shed some light on some of the questions we had. The young lady there filled us in on what we would like to know and took us through the education system that works for them. We enjoyed loitering on the grounds watching the baby ducks in the stream and admiring the beautiful flower gardens. For all that this working farm has going on, the price for the house & school tour and buggy ride is very reasonable. No charge to visit the rustic barn. Ample parking is available as well as a gift shop and an opportunity to buy fresh, homemade breads, cookies and other delicious treats. Visitors, young and old, would find something of interest here.

Great place to see some Amish daily farm life. while we were there, we rode an Amish buggy around the track and were given some great insight by the driver. The lady at the Amish schoolhouse was able to give us insight to a normal school day. The store has quite few items that would be good keepsakes for your trek through Amish country.
Well worth the afternoon visit.

We loved our visit of Amish life through the eyes of our tour guide who was raised for a time in the Amish life.
Educational and highly informative. Really inexpensive includes a buggy ride! Recommed when you are in this area as a must visit. Check out the bakery!

This was a such a great experience for both of my teenagers and 8 year old. We all learned so much and by the time we were finished they all had a better appreciation of a simpler was of life. The offer a tour of the Yoder house and barn, recreated school, and horse and buggy ride; all reasonably priced as a whole package or you choose which you would like to do. Bakery had lots of goodies from cookies to bread to jams to other jarred item. Plus a gift shop with lots of neat items of different price ranges. Definitely worth checking out!!!

We only did the buggy ride and toured the school, skipping the house. The school tour was interesting but short. The buggy ride was wonderful though. All of my children got a chance to "drive", and we had a wonderful time.

The actual highlight for my children was all the sweet cats. There were so many of them....they just loved sitting in the grass with a few kittens in their laps. That was one of their favorite moments of our whole Ohio trip.

Overall, it was a nice relaxing morning spent outside.

This was part of a package tour and we really had not expected much. The guides were very knowledgeable not only on the house tour, but in the barn, school, and buggy as well. We learned a lot.

My husband and I did the three activity combination tour ($12 a person). We both found it very interesting and educational. It provides a glimpse of life in an Amish home. We loved the school house presentation and the young lady that did the presentation was maybe 13-14 years old and did an excellent job. The tour of the house was fascinating and it was a treat to watch the young girls in the kitchen canning beets. The best part of the tour is at the end when you have the opportunity to buy products made at the farm such as pickles, relishes, jams and let's not forget the cookies and brownies. It was such a nice treat! The cookies and brownies were amazing for only 50 cents each.

I have taken family and friends here at least 4 different times. We have had different guides over the years. They are always friendly and informative. Each guide has shared something new either from thier own perspecitve or just something that I had never heard before. This time we were informed that while the Amish use a German Bible in Sunday church service, they use a KJV at home. We were also shown a book that lists every Amish family in the US. The Amish use this book to keep track of family and friends across the country. It is up dated every 10 yrs. like a census andlists family members, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. The contemporary Amish home has had a facelift since I was last there. It shows how today's Amish are bringing more color into their home decorating. This was especially evident in the bedroom furnishings. I believe the retaining wall and flower bed were new also. I saw a reviewer complain about the "cleanliness" of the barn. I grew up around farm life and I can say that the barn at Yoder's Farm is not filthy nor are the animals mistreated. My daughter owns 3 horses which she treats like beloved children. She was with me on this trip and had no negative comments about the barn.

Brought our grandchild here to see how the Amish live. Our guide ( i forgot his name) was very good and was a delight on the tour. We loved seeing the ducks and chickens. Flowers were in bloom. After the tour you can buy Amish baked goods. We also went in the barn and another lovely gentleman gave us a great tour of the animals. We got to pet many. Even new born puppies. Our granddaughter really enjoyed the tour and so did we.

We took the tour and our guide was very good. Informative and interesting; however, I don't think I would take children on this tour unless they are history buffs. (Mine would have been bored and fidgety). But do take them into the barn, especially in the Spring. We saw and got to pet two litters of beagle pups, baby bunnies, the world's cutest baby donkey, and horses. There are lots of chicks and even a pot-belly pig. There is a bakery with freshly-made cookies and a nice gift shop. Great experience.

I remarked to my husband that if all we did was this tour and a couple shops/restaurants I would be satisfied with our trip. We had an excellent tour guide and all the rest of the staff were very friendly. I really enjoyed the gift shop as well and wish I would have bought something. Very reasonably priced attraction.

We learnt a lot about the Amish and Mennonite life. Totally fascinating. Our guide was excellent. Everyone was very welcoming. The farm tour would be a hit with everyone, the house tours equally good. We included the buggy ride on our visit and loved it. Our Amish driver was very interesting too. We were surprised how comfortable and sprung the buggy was. Loved our visit here and were delighted to buy some produce fresh from the kitchen.

My favorite thing we did in Holmes County. Loved learning about Amish heritage, touring the houses, barn & school and the buggy ride. Great for all ages!

Some friends and I visited and took the tour of the house, barn, school house, and buggy ride. It was $13 although we had BOGO coupons, which was really nice. This was a great value either way because there's so much to do! It's a beautiful property with gardens to walk around. The tour is very fun and interesting, we really enjoyed our guide. He was very knowledgeable and made it entertaining for the young ones in our group. There's the opportunity for purchasing baked goods on the tour. The school house was interesting as well, I learned a lot about Amish culture. Of course, it's appropriate to be respectful when asking questions. The buggy ride was quick but pretty. The barn was our favorite part. There were so many baby animals! We especially loved the kittens, puppies and baby goats! When you come to Amish country, make this a stop. There's a lot of the experience all in one location!

Guided tours of an Amish home and farm. Horse and buggy rides available. Homemade cookies, jams, etc available for purchase. They are delicious!

This was a great stop while we very driving around Amish Country. They have a great gift shop and Bakery. We did not tour the home but we bought from the bakery, which is on an honor system, you box your own goods and use the money box to pay for your items. We left some additional money of course and the goods were amazing! I would advise anyone to stop here and take a look. Fee to tour the home is nominal but don't remember what it cost.

You always ride by the clean Amish farms and wonder what it looks like inside. This attraction gives you the chance to be Amish for and hour or so. We had a wonderful guide who explained the Amish way of life, what happens on a typical farm and the church services. We toured the house, barn and school and took a buggy ride around the pasture. Great experience.

Had a great Amish tour of the house, school and wagon ride. You can get all three for 12 dollars per person. The wagon ride needs a bit of improvement and not just two rounds in the same place!!! The tour guide of the house was fantastic, she answered all questions with a smile and was very pleasant to speak with.

We had a beautiful day to experience the farm. We almost turned around thinking we must have missed a turn. But when we were going to turn around it was there! We took the whole tour. The house tour was really awesome, got to see a veggie garden, the old home was pretty primitive but the second home had evolved into a more "modern" home. You could smell the aroma of the fresh baked goods, how smart is that?? We couldn't wait to buy some of the baked goods!! The barn was very well kept and fresh hay everywhere. I have been in a lot of barns and this one is in nice shape. A barn is a barn after all! The animals look well taken care of even the stray cats were treated nice. The guide on the buggy tour was informative and a joy to talk to. The school teacher was kind and answered lots of questions. I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend it!!

We visited here along with a grandchild in order to learn more about Amish life. We were very impressed with the kindness of the tour guides and condition of the farm. Bee sure to take the buggy ride.

We chose to only do the house tour based on other reviews. It took a little over an hour and was very informative. I enjoy learning about other cultures and histories so I had a lot of fun. Our tour guide was very good. They were baking fry pies in the kitchen that smelled fabulous! We bought some cookies to take back with us. We also enjoyed looking at the animals in the barn. There were lots of babies that were adorable.

Loved it. Great fried chicken. Get the buffet it is a great value for the price. Parking a little tough , but overall great.

The Amish were so fascinating! Their lifestyle and culture intrigued me. This is something good for all ages and a must see in Ohio. Our tour guide was very good and the tour really gave you a feel of the Amish

I thought the tours were well worth the money. They are $15 for a tour of the homes, barn, school, and a horse and buggy ride. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was interesting hear all the history. The baked goods at the end were amazing too! (They cost extra though)

We really enjoyed our visit here. We visited an Amish home in Lancaster before but it was not nearly as interesting. The staff was very knowledgeable and answered any questions. We especially enjoyed the barn tour since there were so many new born animals. We saw a one week old horse, tiny newborn bunnies, puppies, kittens, a calf, piglets, baby ducks, etc, etc. Amish girls in a house kitchen turn out freshly baked goods vety reasonably priced. My only gripe was that out house tour group was too large and we couldn't fit in the rooms to hear the guide. That probably was because we were with a large high school group. I would allow a couple hours for a visit.

This is a must for all traveling around this area. We were educated on so much about the Amish and how they live. It was very educational and interesting. We loved the buggy rides and the fried pies.

We went and toured the Yoder Amish home , it was very informative, they have a guide that walks you through the house and grounds and tells about some of the Amish ways, there is also a school on the property that we toured and there was a Amish girl that explained about how they only went to school until the 8th grade. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was a great stop while in the area. We learned a great deal about the community and their churches. Very delightful experience in the barn❤️ and enjoyed a brief visit with the gentleman who took us on the buggy ride.

This was a very informative trip and we learned a great deal about the Amish way of life. The workers were all friendly and the home baked good were yummy! I would go back again, just because it was relaxing.

We had a great time and learned a lot about the Amish from are guide Kate.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. My son enjoyed all the cats running around the farm.

The tour of the houses was interesting and the guide was knowledgeable even though he isn't Amish. The buggy ride was a 15 mins ride through fields. School tour was a waste of time, took 10 mins and it was like an oven in there so we were glad it was short. Look for a buy one get one tour free in the tourist booklets given out at stores. The package tour is $13. They sell baked goods at the house tour which is priced reasonable and delicious. I was dissappointed they weren't baking fry pies that day

My wife and I visited and took advantage of the tour and buggy ride that is offered. Great chance to see and amish home,school and farm while learning more about the amish culture and ways of life followed by a chance to see the animal and take a buggy ride

This was our favorite destination in Holmes County. The Combo ticket covers 2 houses, a buggy ride and an Amish one room school house. Extremely informative and well worth the price!

We toured the Amish home & school house. Also, enjoyed a buggy ride around the meadow. It was nice, but a little pricey, $12.00 for adults & $8.00 for kids 2 and up.

This is a small farm that offers quick and simple tours at inexpensive prices. You can do an Amish house tour with a knowledgeable guide, a schoolhouse briefing with an Amish teacher, an-on site buggy ride with an Amish man, and visit the barn animals with a young Amish person. If you only get to do one of these farm attractions, there's more to see at The Farm at Walnut Creek. But here, you have tour guides you can ask questions of. They also offer to let you hold a baby goat or similar animal. Another feature is when you get inside the house, you smell fresh cinnamon rolls and other goods baking. People live in and use this house. You get to see the kitchen full of baked goods, and at the end of the tour you can purchase some. The schoolhouse briefing was also a nice experience. It's great to remember how simple and effective school used to be.

We bought the whole package - house and barn tour, school tour and buggy ride. The best part was the house tour. Our guide Alice was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight into the Amish way of life. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. The buggy ride is a loop around the farm, but fun. Safer than going on the road, so that's probably a good idea.

This tour is a must! What a great opportunity to get a real look at Amish life. I especially liked the barn and school house tours.

This is a great way to learn more about the Amish and how they live. The tour includes two homes, the first built in the early 1800's, a school house, a barn built in 1885, all on the original 116 acres.

The tours are very educational with the guides providing interesting facts about how they early Amish families lived, dressed, cooked, were educated etc.

The property is well maintained, very pretty, and a relaxing experience. I would highly recommend this attraction to anyone interested in learning more about the Amish way of life.

And this is something even young children will enjoy, seeing the barn animals, and carriage rides. Very picturesque with many photo opportunities.

We go here every couple years, starting when the kids were young. The families usually have critters around, depending on time of year. One year there were beagle puppies. Another time they had a new draft horse foal. The kids enjoyed the buggy ride, even if it was in an oval and seemed to appreciate the tour of the house.

If you are curious about the Amish way of life, it is a great experience. Give yourself a couple hours ........be in no rush and enjoy.

You might have to wait if you come in peak season.

nice place to see ,u get to see how armish live by going thru. there home tour there farm, take bugy ride,buy some of there bake goods and enjoy the quiet of the farm;

What a wonderful experience! We did the big tour which allows you the full experience… tour of the 2 homes, school, barn, and carriage ride. The staff where wonderful and caring. I’d recommend this to everyone! The grounds were so welcoming… and relaxing I didn’t want to leave. Had a quick bite to eat with food I bought from the bakery at the picnic area.

This is a very educational experience. You can tour two Amish homes, a barn, school house and get a buggy ride. We did the entire package. I recommend allowing a two-hour time frame to fully enjoy this place. We were there just shy of two hours. The homes are no longer occupied, but are still set up to show how the family lived. There are Amish girls working in the kitchen making cookies, breads, jams and jellies. They offer them for sale at very reasonable prices. The cookies were large ones and only .50 each. The tour guide was extremely versed in the culture. She allowed for many questions. The buggy ride is offered by Amish gentlemen and goes through a field. Our driver was very friendly. There is an Amish school teacher in the school house to explain the Amish educational experience. Touring the barn you will see some of the typical animals on an Amish farm and learn about their function. There is a small gift shop. This location is one of the most authentic Amish experiences you will encounter in this area. I highly recommend you do this early in your trip to learn about the culture of the Amish. You can take pictures of anything there, except the Amish people themselves. They do not allow themselves to be photographed. The home tour does include an upstairs portion, but it is entirely optional if you are unable to climb steps.

This should be a stop on everyone's list. It is filled with fascinating bits of history and lore. The food shop has loads of tasty treasures and is worth your time.

Highly recommend doing the whole package of the house tour, school and buggy ride. Guides at all three are great. Come prepared with any questions about Amish culture. Everyone is open and friendly. Oh, and the barn which is included in the house tour is great in May. Many animals had babies. Got to hold or touch puppies, rabbits, piglets, and a 10 day old colt.

As an outsider from California, I find the Amish culture to be so fascinating, so different from what I think of as "normal." The tour of this property helped me realize that 1) the Amish are not all the same - some are very strict and conservative whereas others are more open to certain "modern" conveniences and customs; and 2) they are "normal" folks, just with a different approach to life.

Our tour was led by a woman who was raised Amish but no longer practices the Amish lifestyle. However there were a number of people Amish, young and old, working at the home cooking, or offering buggy rides, and being very gracious hosts to their curious visitors.

It was a very worthwhile visit.

If you know anthing at all about the Amish before you arrive, the tour of the two houses is not going to tell you anyhting you fon't already know. You don't even go upstairs in the older house, and there are flies on the goods in the bakery on the firrst floor of the newer house. it was interesting to see popular children's books in Low German and to hear and see the function and appearance of Sunday and work clothes but overall guide was like a robot sticking to memorized speech and mechanically lifting a hymnbook to a bookmarked page. Bakery goods are available to buy at the end of the tour- cash only and on the honor system. although I wonder what would happen if somenone tried to run off with a whole tray of cookies. House tour includes a barn tour. Yes, the baby animals are cute but watch out for allergies. I also didn't like them trying to hock off the puppies to every kid in the group. I think they were $75 each. School house tours and brief buggy rides cannot be purchased seperately from the home tour but are available for an additional fee. The nice thing about the buggy is that it doesn't clatter through parking lots or scare you on the highway. The bad part is that it is not a very long ride. Neither the homes, barn, school, or buggies are accessible. If you have kids who want a brief Amish experience, I would stop here. If not, I would drive on by and spend my time and money elsewhere, like at the cultural center or if you have the time and money on a real Amish experience on a tour of shops or dining in an actual Amish home with the actual residents.

Take time to visit Yoder's Amish Home ~ the tour is led by a knowledgeable person who shares insights into the daily living experiences of Amish people. There are two homes to tour, a replica of a one room Amish parochial school, and the opportunity to get a ride in a horse drawn Amish buggy. The bakery has delightful treats available for purchase ~ the snickerdoodles and the buttermilk cookies are soft pillows of yumminess! My only regret is that I didn't buy more cookies to eat. There are also wonderful jams, jellies, pickles and other canned treats that are made right on the premises.

We loved the barn and shop. We took a buggy ride on the farm. Saw some animals. It was a nice stop! Not a ton of things to do, but we got to see some little baby chicks. So it's definitely worth a stop. We spent an hour in a half and saw everything. It's a nice farm!

Took the tour of the homes and barns and learned an awful lot. This something the whole family can do and enjoy. There is nothing better than seeing and hearing first hand the ways of the Amish people.

OK so if you’re going to Amish country in Ohio please do not miss this attraction. I’ve been to Amish country many of times and have never been to this place but I’m so glad that I did. And I’m going to go again in the future. There is so much to do at this attraction. It’s free parking. Parts of it is wheelchair accessible. There are picnic grounds around where you can pack a nice lunch and sit on the picnic table and look at the beautiful scenery. That’s what we did on this trip. There is a big gift shop area where you buy tickets to take a tour of the Amish homes, the barn, the school house, and take a buggy ride with an Amish fellow. The docents were quite knowledgeable somewhere Amish somewhere English and they knew so much about the way of life of the Amish starting with various orders, the old world order to the more modern order of Amish. There are steps to get into some of the building so that might not be wheelchair accessible. Inside one of the Amish homes there was an Amish woman baking baked goods and her name was Elsa and her peanut butter fluff that she was making right then and there was on sale along with various other baked goods and we bought up that peanut butter fluff it was to die for! The Amish buggy ride was on a enclosed area, and it wasn’t very scenic but it was just the experience of being in one of those black Amish buggies and feeling the bumps in the road and listening to the Amish man talk a little bit about his life which was quite interesting. Also touring the school house was great because the Amish woman that gave the tour was also a teacher in an Amish school and you could ask her a lot of questions and she knew so much of course about the Amish way of life. Yoders is a great experience to really immerse yourself in the Amish culture. We are certainly going back here again in the near future!

We had a wonderful guide with amazing information. He was very friendly and very willing to answer questions. My grandsons were very interested in the school and amazed at what they learned. We also loved taking a buggy ride and the stop in the bakery. All in all, we were very glad we visited.

Enjoy a tour of an Amish family home, school building, and barn; enjoy a ride in a buggy. Purchase fresh baked cookies. Shop for souvenirs on site (Amish made are offered, too). Pleasant and relaxing way to learn about the Amish.

We love that you can drive your own vehicle through the park. Love touring the houses. I wish they resembled someone actually living in them. I live near middlefield oh so i have seen an amish house. And there is more furnishings than what they showed.

Took home tour. Some interesting information about Amish life, but not worth the + $8 cost. At the end you can buy a cookie for $.50. Carriage ride or schoolhouse tour also offered for additional fee.

We did the combo tour of the homes, barn, school house and buggy ride. All of our guides were exceptional and the visit gave us insight into life on an Amish farm.

Had a wonderful Lunch. Received recommendations to go from several people and it did not disappoint,.

Nice side trip to have a guided tour of an Amish homestead. They show you two Amish homes and explain the way of life that is lived there. They provide some history of the Amish and give you some insight of their way of life. The gift shop has some of the lowest prices in the area so make sure you do your shopping there.

Lots of fun. Knowledgeable guide. Up close with friendly farm animals. High value. Fresh baked goods.

We visited Yoder's Amish Home as part of an afternoon and early evening tour with Amish Heartland Tours. It was a good place to get an informative introduction to Amish life. We toured two homes there -- a traditional and a more modern Amish home, visited the barn and saw the farm animals, took a buggy ride, and visited an Amish one room schoolhouse. It was all very interesting and fun, although I wish the buggy ride had been a little longer.It's a very good place to go for a basic introduction to Amish life before driving around the back roads of Holmes County, Ohio and interacting with the Amish who live in the area.

We arrived here and decided to do the full package which included tours of 2 houses..both were vacant but used to be occupied by the Old Order Amish and the 2nd house would have been occupied by the modern Amish. The 2nd house they had Amish working in there and sold baked goods including cookies & breads. Very cheap prices...most cookies were .50 cents a piece. Bread ranged from $2-$4 a loaf. Along with that tour you got to go in the barn which had horses, donkey, cows, puppies, kittens, goats, and chickens. After that you got to go on a buggy ride which lasted maybe 10minutes if that. Then you continued to the schoolhouse which was all set up to give you an insight of how they got their education. It was very informational and the entire tour we got was $12. They have a gift shop but most of that was kinda pricey. I def. recommend taking this if you want to learn more about the Amish.

The tour guide was a school bus driver so knows some of the Amish families. Although she is "English," she and the Amish have a mutual respect so she knows a lot about how they live. There are two houses, one built in 1866 without electricity or running water and the other 20 years later with the modern conveniences. She explained how the extended families use the houses and land, and the customs of the Amish and Mennonites from the strictest to most modern orders. The 116 acre farm is owned by Eli and Gloria Yoder. Eli was Amish until he left the order at 21, and Gloria was English in an Amish school. At the barn, there were adult and baby: horses, cows, pigs, cats, dogs, geese, plus sheep. Goodies baked in the kitchen are for sale pretty inexpensively, and there is a store with Amish type items, including a brochure rack of other attractions. The house and barn tour were $10 adults. There were also school and buggy tours, all three for $16. Gloria Yoder is also proprietor of Mrs. Yoder's kitchen, a very popular restaurant in nearby Mt. Hope. Relaxed place to learn about the Amish life. A more indepth look with a film and diorama is available at nearby Amish Mennonite Heritage Center.

It was a nice tour with knowledgable and friendly guides. The buggy ride is just a triponce around a small track on the farm; but the tour of the two homes, one for the parents who are cared for by one of the children in the other old homestead.

Went for the tour at Yoders Amish Home. Tour of the house and grounds was very informative, providing information about growing up Amish. Carriage/buggy ride was just ok. Went around in circles two times. School was also very informative. Overall very worthwhile stop.

Great visit. Learned so much about Amish culture. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting the area.

We toured the home, the barn and the school house and took the buggy ride and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the visit. The tour guides were very informative and interesting, and the grounds are beautiful. Be sure to buy cookies from the bakery there...they are delicious! We spent about 3 hours there and were entertained the entire time! The entire experience cost about $13.00 per person...a great value!

This was great tour. We loved the houses, school and buggy ride. We are so happy we did it. We learned a lot about the Amish way of life.

We LOVE to bring family and other out of town guests to this site. It's a little pricey, though, so we go only every other year, but it's truly an authentic glimpse into the Amish way of life. To me, the buggy ride alone is a highlight. You will get a personalized tour (led by an Amish woman) into a former Amish home, including upstairs into the bedrooms. The property is beautiful to see. I highly recommend this farm tour.

Educational, great guides. My vote is this is a must for anyone who goes to the area. We bought (reasonably priced) tickets for the schoolhouse, farmhouse, and buggy ride.

I have passed countless buggies in my lifetime without ever really knowing much about the Amish culture, other than that they don't believe in modern conveniences. I loved the visit to the farm and the two orders of The Farmhouse and schoolhouse. The guide was amazing and explains so much about the culture in an hour's time that I was grateful we stopped. Be sure to take cash for the bakery, there are some very delicious things in there from bread to soup to canned goods to cookies and fry pies, all priced very low but it is cash only.

Enjoyed touring the Yoder farm. Learned a lot about the Amish way of life. Enjoyed the wonderful freshly baked goods they have. They are so yummy!

We have visited other Amish cultural centres before in Pennsylvania but this tour was even better. We only did the home tour but our guide was so approachable and knowledgeable and we left feeling we had a much greater understanding and appreciation of the Amish communities.
Everyone was very welcoming and friendly.

My husband and I toured the homes, barn, school and did the Amish buggy ride. The young girl who did our tour through the homes, was very informative and sweet. It was very neat learning more about the Amish couture! Also loved buying treats in the store at the bottom of the more modern Amish home. The soup and bread was amazing! The cookies too ;) the barn was neat seeing the huge horses! The school tour was okay, nothing too special. Really enjoyed the Amish buggy ride. Our driver was very nice and talkative. Would really recommend this establishment!

We stopped here because we wanted to know a little more about being Amish and to see what it really looked like. We had a very pleasant experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Ohio's Amish country. We only did the house/barn tour (not the school tour or buggy ride), but our guide, Mary, was very friendly, answered all of our questions, and gave our family a good bit of her time afterwards to just chat about life in general. The older gentleman in the barn was also very friendly and he let me pet all the baby animals and even pulled out a baby rabbit for me to hold. At the end of the tour there is a table of freshly baked scrumptious cookies and still-warm pastries (like fry pies which we watched them making in the kitchen next door) available for purchase at very reasonable prices (e.g. 50 cents/cookie, $1.75/fry pie). This was an excellent way to start out our day in the Amish country.

My sister and I really enjoyed the tours and carriage ride here. The price of the tickets are a very good value. We felt we really got our money's worth. The gift shop has beautiful, authentic wares at reasonable prices. If you find something you like here, don't think you'll find it somewhere else at a better price.....you won't!

My wife and I made two trips to the Yoder's Amish Home this past year. We found this tour of the Amish home and farm to be very informative and interesting. The guides were very knowledgeable and very willing to answer all of our questions. The barn was my wife's favorite part because of all the animals and especially the newborns. I liked the enjoyed the kitchen where they prepared and sold fresh bread and cookies!!
The cost of the tour, buggy ride and visit to the farm and school house was very reasonable.
A must see!

There are two homes side by side to compare a primitive home with a larger house with running water. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Short buggy rides are available without riding on the highway.

Learned about Amish and their ways. Why the different dresses and mens ware and saw farm, school and buggy ride.

My group of 4 was very impressed with Yoder's Amish Home. For $13, you get a tour of 2 Amish homes and a school house, a 10 min buggy ride, and a visit to a barn with the most adorable baby animals!!! (Altho, there are BOGO coupons in the Entertainment book and the Travelhost mag) It was a great deal and well worth the money. The tour of the Amish homes and school house was very interesting. I learned a lot about the Amish! The tour guides were very knowledgeable. The buggy ride was fun. Of course, seeing the baby animals, and getting to hold some of them, was the highlight of the experience! Who doesn't love baby animals?!?! They had kittens, puppies, ducks, goats (so much fun to watch!), lambs, cows, and a foal was in the field - it was just born the night before! We really enjoyed our time at Yoder's! Allow at least 2 hours.

It was a great 👍 beginning to learn about your life stile. All of the facts were amazingly awesome, thanks. We loved all the animals and babies 💗

The tour of this Amish farm was my favorite activity of my four days in Ohio. It was quite reasonable for everything. We each paid $13. This included the house, the barn, the school, and the buggy ride. It probably took an hour and half to do everything. Homemade cookies were only 50 cents. They were really good. The buggy ride was short but fun. The driver was interesting to talk to. The teacher at the school was very informative about Amish life.

This was the more interesting thing we did in the Amish Country. Other tours of the house, school, and barn were very interesting. We learned a lot about Amish culture. The desserts in the bakery were delicious! The owners were very kind as well. I ran over a nail and they plugged my tire for me. I definitely recommend this attraction!

This is a great place to get a snapshot of what the Amish lifestyle would have looked like several years ago. The tour guide was amazing and very knowledgable about the Amish lifestyle. Definitely worth the time and money.

These homes aren't lived in anymore, but the farm is farmed, and the animals are being raised here.
These 2 homes are beautiful, and show what Amish life is lived.

They also have a school on property.

The tour guides are very knowledgeable. Yippy can opt for an Amish buggy ride, if you please, ascends there is a small souvenir store on site as well.

A visit to Yoder's was a great way to kick off our day in Amish country! The barn was bursting with babies, including a goat that was just born that morning. The home tour includes the barn and two homes--one older, one newer. Our guide was very knowledgeable and candid. The buggy add on was fun! If anything, skip the school house tour--more of a lecture in a hot room than a tour. Overall a very enjoyable time!!

Tour historical Amish home and farm. Note, not an actual residence today. Interesting tour with an OK guide. Barn with baby animals was neat. Replica of an Amish school with an actual teacher working there for the summer. Carriage rides are just a short lap around the field. The bakery is just a table with a few baked goods for sale. Good cookies, but not what I would call a bakery. Everyone that we encountered was very nice. Kids had a great time and we all learned a lot.

Yoder's Amish Home is located on State Rt. 515, which is a byway between Trail and Walnut Creek. Their mailing address is Millersburg, so it is a little bit of a drive.

We toured two Amish homes while a knowledgeable guide shared the Amish Heritage throughout the tour.

There was the most pleasant aroma coming from the large of the two Amish homes, due to an Amish woman baking cookies. As the tour ended, we had to exit through a room full of cookies that could be purchased as a single piece. Of course, I had to indulge!

My only regret is that I had a foot injury and I had to stay on the main floors of both homes and we had to skip the barn and one room school house.

It is a worthwhile trip when visiting Amish country. The children will enjoy it immensely, especially if they take an Amish buggy ride!

This was very informative and enjoyable. Was it worth the cost charged to get in....almost. The tour guide was wonderful. The buggy ride was fun. We learned a lot.

Very friendly and a great placd to learn about how the Amish live and tour some Amish houses.

Nice guided tour of an Amish farm with two homes (one the older and original home; the second the newer) that show the difference in how Amish lived over the past 130 years. The final stop is in the kitchen where you can purchase fresh baked goods on the honor system. Try the buttermilk cooked. They're great. Also, you can take a short horse and buggy ride and find out about how the Amish educate their children by attending an Amish school on the premises. The barn tour usually has newly born animals depending on the times of year. They are all pettable.

I've been to lots of Amish areas and have done some tours. This was pretty standard fare. The tour guide was fairly knowledgeable and gave a good description of the homes and clothing of the Amish people. And yes, the bakery items (which you pay for on the honor system) are freshly made (that day, by Leah) and extremely reasonably priced.

The school room and buggy ride were really not worth the money. A young girl (probably between 12-14) was posing as the teacher (which, since the Amish only go to school until 8th grade, I suppose she could have been), but she seemed nervous and was kind of on autopilot. There really wasn't any more information -- and maybe less -- than I've seen in other self-guided schoolhouses that had written descriptions.

The buggy ride is, as someone else said, a joke. It literally goes all the way around a circle once and then half way around again. It is just a path on grass -- absolutely nothing to look at or talk about. I was lucky to be the only passenger in the carriage so I got to talk to the driver a little, but it was awkward.

I would say that if you've not seen an Amish house before, it is worth it to do so, but otherwise, it's probably nothing different than what you've already seen.

Absolutely cannot say enough about this experience. We loved it! We experienced a buggy ride, tour of school house and the main house. We found a coupon in Travelhost magazine for buy one get one free. $11 for both of us. What a bargain! The most delightful tour guide. She gave us so much good information. The ladies working the tours and baking in the kitchen were delightful as well. The trip was for my dad and he has enjoyed everything here in Holmes county. I highly recommend this for all ages

I had just visited the Farm at Walnut Creek and decided to see this place. You really get a great perspective of the Amish life here.

Nice people, I was a little embarrassed by some of the questions some visitors asked. Respect other cultures!

We traveled to Amish country in Holmes County and were very, very pleased with our visit to Yoder's Amish Home. We toured an Old Order home, a New Order home, the barn with all the animals, and a brief buggy ride. It was excellent and one of the highlights of our weekend.

Yoder's Amish home is a great place to visit. Nobody lives in the homes, but can see how the the Amish lived. When you visit the barn, you get to hold all the baby animals. It is a very friendly place to visit. The carriage ride is fun.

Our family (2 adults, 3 young children) had the pleasure of this tour experience. If you are visiting Amish country, make time to visit the Yoder's Amish Home. Make sure to purchase the tour package ($13 adults, children 2-12 are only $9) which gives you the home tour, petting zoo, school house tour and buggy ride.

Take a step into the lives of the Amish and discover the heart behind their simple way of life. We learned so much about their beliefs and living, and left with a better understanding and appreciation for the Amish culture.

Our children were a little cranky during the home tour (hey, it's hard to hold a kid's attention for too long,,.) but their faces lit up when we ventured into the barn to see animals. They also loved the buggy ride and sitting in an Amish classroom!

You should plan at least 1.5 hours to do this experience. If you have kids that like animals, than maybe a little more time to pet and hold animals in the barn.

This was one of our FAVORITE experiences in Amish country!

I've been to Holmes County several times but this was my first visit to Yoder's Amish Home. For $12 you get a guided tour of the 2 houses, a visit to the barn with several farm animals, a visit to a re-creation of an Amish school, and a buggy ride. Our guide to the homes, Robert, was extremely informative. He did a great job of putting into context how Amish beliefs are lived day to day. The schoolhouse tour (if you can call being in a one room school a tour) was led by an Amish teacher. After a brief overview, she asked for questions. We had quite a few for her and she seemed happy to answer them all. The buggy ride was fun. It's on a closed track on the property. Our driver was very personable and asked us questions. The ride was very smooth and the breeze generated by our motion cooled us down a lot on a hot day. This is not an amusement park ride - it's how the Amish get from place to place. All in all, I learned a lot in 2 and a half hours. Your perspective will shift after you visit. Don't forget to go back to the gift shop. They had some of the best t-shirts I've seen in Holmes County - and priced reasonably.

Great tour of the two houses, barn and school house. Very informative. The buggy ride was nice, but just went around a small field. There is a bakery on site, with a wide selection of fresh made cookies, desserts and jellies. Worth an hour and a half to visit.

Went to Yoder's Amish Home on July 26, 2024 with three other couples. We all had a coupon for a complimentary buggy ride & jar of jam. One of the two ladies working the counter asked if we were interested in purchasing the 1.5 hour tour package but we declined as we had done this tour twice in years past. When she realized she wasn't getting any money she said to her co-worker "Yeah, take your freebie & run!" It's not what you would expect to hear from a respectable business worker.
The farm visit was made enjoyable by the Amish man, Dan, who gave us our buggy ride. He was extremely friendly and a true gentleman - that counter lady could learn plenty from Dan.

We did the tour and buggy ride which included a visit to the schoolhouse, and we found it really interesting. There are two Amish homes on site for you to see and each visit ends with a chance to sample a cookie and buy some jams. Really good value and a lovely way to spend a couple of hours.

Yoders offers a very well informed look into the life of the Amish. The house tour is very nice. The buggy ride is a bucket list thing to do. The schoolhouse was enlightening. Plenty of free time to stroll the grounds and investigate the barns. Nice gift shop. This would be a great family event!

We took our two grandchildren, ages 5 & 8 to the farm. It was a great experience. The guide was very informative and the place was quite authentic, with it representing a broad range of the different orders of Amish. Most of the workers were Amish. The children enjoyed the buggy ride. Well done!

If you want to learn the history of the Amish this is the place to come. You will get to experience how the Amish live while touring a once lived in Amish home and farm. Visit a school setting and also take a buggy ride. All for the modist price of $26 per person.

This was a wonderful stop. The ride there is so scenic. The farm has amazing flower gardens, plenty of kitties to pet! Very reasonably priced. $13.00 each for the full package house barn and school house tour and buggy ride. The horse could probably do the buggy ride without the driver (lol) and the driver (lol). I was surprised how comfortable the buggy was! There were different guides for each building. Very pleasant, friendly and open to questions. They prefer not to be photographed. I asked and she was appreciative that I did ask.

I wanted to know more about the Amish culture and history and this was a good place for that. I felt it was reasonably priced. We only did the home and barn tour. I think young children would enjoy it because of the buggy rides, and all the animals. There's also a gift shop and a bakery.

Having never been to Amish country, my family and I chose to go to Yoder's before doing anything else upon arriving in Walnut Creek. I'm so glad we did! The tour of the homes was very informative, and we learned many things about the Amish. The barn is full of animals, including many newborns, and the school tour was interesting, as well. The buggy ride was short, but fun. And our driver was so nice, asking us where we were from and answering any questions we had. We all really enjoyed our time here!

If you go, stop in the gift shop as there are many items that are made by local residents that I didn't find elsewhere while shopping around. Prices were reasonable, and you can shop there even if you don't do any of the tours.

This is a great place to go for an overview of the Amish. There are two houses to tour, a wonderful barn - often with babies, a schoolhouse, and buggy rides. And the cost is very reasonable.

We have been coming to Holmes County for many years and just discovered this tour. For a nominal fee, you can have a short horse and buggy ride, a glimpse of an authentic school house, a barn tour, and a tour of two homes. We appreciated the barn tour for the variety of animals, the history, and the overall look at what it takes to manage the livestock and barn. The home tour was the most interesting, as it is led by an Amish tourguide. She talks about the house furnishings, the clothing worn by a typical family, and adds a lot of detail that you may not pick up from visiting the area on your own. The tour ends at the bakery, where there is a wide selection of cookies and canned goods for a low price. Tip: There is a little climbing involved to get to the houses. There are a flight of stairs in each house.

We loved every part of this farm. The animals were so friendly. Beautiful flowers. So neat to be able to walk thru their house, barn, and other property to see how they do their daily lives.

We learned alot about the Amish community through this tour. My husband and I really respect their way of life and the reasons behind their way of life. The Bible! This is a must see if you are interested in learning about the Amish. There is also a barn you can tour that has animals you can pet.

Took tour of house, barn, school, and had buggy ride. 40 minute house tour was the best telling about how an Amish family lives, and differences to Mennonites. Can purchase fresh baked items from bakery. Small gift shop. Small playground and petting zoo for kids. Bus groups frequent this.

We had a wonderful visit to Yoder's Amish Home. We did all three activities which was a tour of the Amish homes and barn, a buggy ride, and a tour of the Amish school house. Everything was only $12 an adult. The tour is very informative and interesting. The best part is at the end of the tour you can buy baked goods and some canned goods that are prepared right there in one of the homes.

The tour was very interesting with a very good overview of the
Amish culture. You learn the hows and whys of so many of their customs.

We were here 5 years ago and this was almost as good. Didn't do the buggy ride this time but barn was full of baby animals and we had a blast. House tours very educational. Worth the price.

We enjoyed every aspect of Yoder's Amish Home--the barn, the two homes, the buggy ride, and the one-room schoolhouse. Our tour leader was very informative and receptive to the many questions our group asked. My wife and I have visited a large number of attractions of this sort over the years, and I'd rate this one right up there with the best.

Do the whole package and give yourself 2-3 hours. They have the cutest beagle blue tick hound named Freckles! She is the softest cutest pup I’ve ever seen. They also have a little lamb that follows you around. We started with the barn and the houses with a guide tour. Then we smelled baking bread to find out they’re baking it on site for their bakery. We were soooooo tempted to buy some goodies (we don’t have a way to safely store food in our travels right now). Then we went on the buggy ride and got a feel for how they travel. That was just a little sit down fun for a few minutes. After that we headed over to the school and were taught about their schooling way of life and the subjects they teach, etc. The cats on site are also all very friendly and let you pet them and they have a picnic table out front of the gift shop under the shade which was relaxing. I was trying to get one of the cats to sit on my lap but he wasn’t having it. Just a neat place and a great half day place to visit.

I loved the Amish girl that gave my mother and I the tour of the barn and taught us about the animals. (We visited 10/10/18). The woman that gave us the tour of the two houses was not Amish, but she was very knowledgeable. I think it maybe would have been nice if she dressed like an Amish person to make the experience seem more appealing.. Also, I did not understand why the one Amish house had a cheap leather couch in a very bare living room. I am not certain that the stenciling on the walls is something that the Amish actually do in terms of decorating. So much more could be done to make the Yoder's Amish Home Tour more enjoyable!

Went with a group, they separated us into smaller groups, staff made up of Mostly former Amish or current Amish.

I don't know how many times my kids have been on the tour of the Amish house at Yoders, but my daughter will beg us to go every time! She can tell you all about how the Amish live. The home is lovely and the tour guides are extremely knowledgeable about the Amish customs and beliefs.

Didn’t really know what to expect but was very happy! We had a tour of the house and actually saw a young woman making bread. We then enjoyed a buggy ride around the farm and visited a school house- oh yes and the barn had baby donkey, horses and sheep. And there is a store to purchase the food and items for souvenirs.

My cousin and I spent a weekend in Amish country and had a great time. The Yoders Amish Home tour was very informative and we learned alot. We had a nice time in Amish country !

Went here with my wife to learn a little more about the Amish life. It was a nice your of the Amish farm and houses. We also took a buggy ride around the property. The only thing we didn't like is that our guide didn't seem to be Amish and we didn't get to ask questions. He seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. We still enjoyed it very much

Helps you learn a bit about the Amish culture. If you didn't research it before you actually visited.Very nice grounds. The tours are in groups. You can do everything ( house, school, buggy) for one price or you can break it up and do some of the things. The buggy driver was really nice. You only go around a field's edge for the ride.

Too pricey for what it is. Just a farm and a buggy ride. Not worth the money, and the people who run it just aren't that hospitable. Actually, the whole area is not very hospitable. If they want tourists, they need to change their attitudes.

This was a nice tour. I enjoyed the barn the best and seeing the animals. Staff was friendly. We are familiar with Amish community already and I enjoyed learning about their schools. Which I had limited knowledge about before this visit. Part of the tour was seeing two young ladies baking, which sucks you into buying bake goods! Simply because you can't walk away from the wonderful smell. The bake goods where very cheap and on the honor system. A wonderful and relaxing time.

This by far was the best part of our mini Fall vacation to visit the Amish Country. We actually got to visit a couple of Amish homes that are no longer lived in but still furnished to give you the feel of Amish living. The barn tour was AMAZING. The older Amish man that runs the barn was so nice and sweet. He was very knowledgable about all the animals in the barn. There were horses, donkeys, puppies, bunnies, pigs, goats. He had his own horse stabled in the barn while he worked. There were birds nests made from mud that birds travel to from year to year....and use their same nests. I loved this little man. God blessed our family by talking with him and hearing about his life. There is also a school to tour that gives you an idea of how the Amish kids learn. The Amish only go through 8th grade...which was interesting. We also took an Amish buggy ride while there. The Amish girls in the kitchen were making Applesauce. They had baked homemade cookies and brownies that were for sale. They were delicious. My teenage daughter even said that this was the best part of our vacation.

My husband and I enjoyed the buggy ride, a guided tour of the barn, a school, and two home tours , one built in 1866, the other 1886. At the end of the tour you can purchase several kinds of cookies which are made there. We purchased different kinds, they were all delicious.

With four adults and two small children in our group we had a good time for the hour and a half or so it took. We started with a carriage ride for all of us and then went through the schoolhouse and the barn. Both were well done and staffed with knowledgeable hosts. The two children (ages 2 and 7) were not all that interested in the schoolhouse but the the barn full of animals was good for them. The trip through the houses was especially well done with two houses furnished in two different ways. At the end is a bakery with baked and canned items available for purchase. This was a memorable trip and was worth the $70 it cost for all 6 of us. The gift shop was well stocked and we bought a few trinkets there.

Nice tour to see old Amish home and a newer Amish home. Property has an old school house, barn with animals, and rides on the horse and buggy.

Very nice affordable stop. Buggy Ride that could have been longer, schoolhouse educational stop and tour of barn and 2 houses. Very informative.

We are frequent visitors to Holmes County but this time we took our three Grandsons (ages 12-10-8) for the specific purpose of introducing them to the Amish culture. Our first stop was Yoder's Amish Home and it was the PERFECT place to start!!! Helpful, friendly guides provided a simple explanation concerning the religious beliefs, the style of clothing, the language, the way of life of the Amish. They were able to visit two different homes, the barn with animals and a typical school.

This is a quality tourist farm that gives you tours through two Amish houses, completely furnished in their belief system. They have honest Amish/Mennonite women to answer all your questions with warmth and laughter. A large barn is filled with all types of animals big and small for the children to enjoy and at the end of all this a free cookie made in the house. What could be better a house filled with baking smells and a taste test !

I enjoyed touring the Yoder’s Amish home. This is a perfect place to learn about Amish history and taking a peek into the life of Amish. The home tours were great. The tour guide had so much information. The cost was very cheap at 13.00 to do everything. House tour. Barn tour and a buggy ride.
So happy we found this place. We met the owners daughter in law who was super sweet.
Mrs. Yoder has a restaurant that had lunch.
If you are interested in learning about the Amish this is the place to go.

We had a decent time at Yoder's Amish home. The kids loved the baby animals in the barn, the Amish buggy driver was very nice and happy to answer our questions, the house tour was crowded, hot, and our non-Amish tour guide was asked several questions that he couldn't answer. He also made several of the kids in the group uncomfortable with his odd humor. The shop sells some wonderful home made products, but also a lot of awful made in China junk. Read the labels before you buy!

This was so worth it.... We really enjoyed ourselves and asked all the questions that we had while visiting the Millersburg area and the longer you visit the more questions you will have.

Loved the package tour around the farm, and Samuel our tour guide was a wealth of fun information! A must see for Amish lovers.

This was an exceptional experience that involves all of your senses. Touring the two homes at the Yoder Farm was educational and enjoyable. The Mennonite guide was phenomenal and knowledgeable and she used the home's furnishings (quilt-covered beds, woven rugs made from clothing remnants, car-battery powered lamps, etc.) as a backdrop as her words brought the Amish customs and daily activities to life. To add to the sights, the smells of fresh baked goods filled the air with two young girls baking in the kitchen. The barn tour and variety of animals have appeal for all ages as does the gift shop and we also enjoyed the brief horse-drawn buggy ride. This shop's peanut butter spread does NOT contain high fructose corn syrup (surprised to find many of the more commercial touristy places throughout Amish country use margarine and other ingredients that aren't healthy or natural). This place is the real deal.

Our tour guide did a great job enlightening us about Amish culture and their way of life as we walked through 2 uninhabited Amish homes. After that we took a buggy ride and walked through an actual one-room Amish school. It was a good experience.

We spent two hours touring this homestead. There is a very informative guided tour of the two houses on the property. Once is furnished as a strict order Amish home and the other as a less strict Amish family would live. This part of the tour ends in the kitchen of the second home where you can buy baked goods jut made on the premises. There is also a guided tour of the barn with its farm animals plus a school house where a teacher explains Amish schooling. Ending the visit you can enjoy a ride through the fields in an Amish buggy then browse at the gift shop. We enjoyed this very much and would recommend seeing it if you visit the area.

We did the full tour and we were not disappointed! Great info in the house and the cookies (for sale for .50 each) at the end were AMAZING! We also bought cinnamon rolls, fresh baked bread, and jam. The barn was full of baby animals that we got to hold. The school house was quick but interesting. The buggy ride was super fun and our driver was great to talk to. We'll go back for more cookies the next time we are in the area!

We really enjoyed this visit. Friendly and eger to answer questions about how and why they did things the way they do.

This was on our to do list as part of our visit to Amish country. This was well worth the trip and gave a great overview of Amish life and history. We did the house tour, schoolhouse and took the buggy ride. Entire tour lasted about 1.5 hours even with visiting the barn.

The tour of the home and school were extremely well done; very informational. Baked goods sold at the end of the home tour were very reasonably priced. The teacher at the school was an actual teacher at an Amish school during the school year. The buggy ride was short, but I wouldn't really want to ride much longer. You can't beat the price!

Our visit to Yoder’s was very enjoyable while also educational in Amish customs and way of life. You can tour the home, barn and mock schoolhouse and also enjoy a short buggy ride. The kids on our tour loved petting the animals in the barn.

This is a very well worth tour for adults and children. It gives you a great overview of how the Amish live, and have lived in the area. There are real Amish and Mennonite folks running the farm and giving the tours. Buggy rides are included in the all inclusive ticket, as is a visit to the one room school house, a real eye opener for many people as to how much can really be learnt without computers and cell phones. There are real animals in the barn, and the older and newer homes are very interesting.

The buggy ride was fun and the school house was also interesting. The 2 house on the property were also in great condition for their age. The history and facts about the amish in the area and amish in general were interesting and educational. The small gift shop has a decent variety of items. Price was very good.

Nice place ...they demonstrate about amish people very nice how their lifestyle would be and what do theydo for a living ......and their education syatem

This farm is not in Millersburg. It's actually in Walnut Creek, about 5 miles past Berlin. It is an absolute must if you go to Amish country. It is only $13. It includes a tour of two houses, a barn, a schoolhouse and a carriage ride. One of the houses has a functional kitchen where an Amish woman makes food that can be purchased at the end of the tour. The tour is thorough and you can ask anything. On your own, you can explore the barn, the school house and take a carriage ride. The barn had puppies, kittens and piglets you can hold, along with goats, sheep and houses. The schoolhouse has a real Amish gentleman who explains Amish schooling and answers questions. I didn't see a lot of people going in there, but let me tell you, it was great interacting with a real Amish person. There's also a carriage ride. The man driving it is a real Amish man. No one lives in the house anymore. It is for tourists to learn about the Amish. It was, without a doubt, my favorite part of my vacation in Amish country.

food,crafts,everything! Kids and family loved it will def be back. Our familles go 2 times a year and have so for about 15 years

Having Aunties that were Amish I was prepared for disappointment when I visited Yoder's Amish Home. I was pleasantly surprised with the authenticity of their presentation and stories they tell. Very friendly staff and a great experience for all ages of children.

I visited this farm 25 yrs ago. We visited here on a Saturday in August. It’s very nice for families. Very interesting. We really enjoyed the school. Allow 90 minutes.

Pleasant visit in an Amish house. The girl who explained the visit to us was very good at communicating and very interesting to know about the Amish. The area is very beautiful and everything is very well maintained. Recommended to immerse yourself in a culture that lives in the past but lives without stress.

This farm is a little off the beaten path, but the tours of the house and the school are given by very knowledgeable and friendly people. Our tour guide knew an amazing amount of information about the Amish community and the Amish teacher who showed us the school house was very patient with the questions we asked. We also did the buggy ride and while it was short, our driver, Ray, was very chatty and a joy to talk to.

Whenever we have family from out-of-town, I bring them here, as I only live about an hour away. The houses are interesting but the barn is really fun, with chickens, donkeys, horses, dogs and goats. There are lots of cats and kittens (although they could stand some veterinary care, lots of eye infections when we were there). This was the first time a non-Amish person took us on the house tour, which was not nearly as informative as prior tours I've taken. The schoolhouse particularly interested the kids in the group and the young Amish teacher was very open to questions. Don't forget some cash - cookies from the kitchen of the modern house are a must-have!

Every time we go we learn something new. Each tour guide gets the tour in there own way. Each provides some different information, but overall it is the same. Two homes to tour. Young Amish girls working in the kitchen making cookies, breads, and other baked goods, which you can buy at the end of tour. Fry Pies are made on Saturday only.

Also School house tour, buggy rides and barn tour. We have been many times and enjoy going to the barn to see the baby animals. They allow us to go to the barn only for just $1.

Nice gift shop. Restrooms, snacks, and drinks are available. Although small area for gift shop and restrooms, it is a must see while in Amish Country. Great way to learn the history of the Amish and a general understanding of their ways.

Had a great wagon ride through fields with exotic hoofed animals driver very knowledgable and friendly left there with a new friend. Great tour guide through an amish home full of information ended in a great bakery be prepared to eat.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the morning we spent here. We paid $12 which included the tour around the two houses, barn shed, a ride in a cart and the school. Well worth the money!

The tour around was very informative and Samuel was able to describe life for Amish people in excellent detail.

The barn shed was full of animals that the Amish use within their daily life. Our ride around the field gave us an insight into what it would be like moving around in a cart. Finally the school was interesting although our guide did appear a little nervous but still was able to answer any questions.

If you are interested in the Amish, this tour will give you a brief insight into their way of life. There are two Amish homes to tour and a guide to give information about the homes.

Before visiting Amish country, I had noticed this property mentioned in several articles. So, we decided to give it a try. We chose the complete tour (Homes, Buggy Ride, and School) and were pleasantly surprised with the entire experience.
The tour ($12 per adult) was a great value. The entire experience was informative, respectful, and fun. I couldn't believe how much I learned about the Amish and Mennonite cultures. I would definitely choose this tour again...we loved it!

Great tour of two Amish farm houses built at different times, Although the guide was not Amish, she gave us a lot of information about Amish life. The man in the school house, who was Amish, explained their views on education.There was also an enjoyable buggy ride and a visit to the barn to see a host of different animals. I would highly recommend this.

Very interesting and informative tours with friendly guides! Many animals around the property to observe and enjoy! Who knew it would be so comfortable inside an Amish buggy?

We had not been here in years and wanted to let my son go on a buggy ride. It was just as I remembered and still a good time. The grounds were beautiful and it was very enjoyable. The gentlemen driving the buggies were very nice.

This was a really interesting and worthwhile stop, and very good value. There are three tour options: (1) two homes + barn, (2) buggy ride and (3) school. But the package with all three is only $12 (a savings of $4) (and $8 for under 13s). Home tour ends in the bakery with very tasty and very inexpensive cookies, also lots of homemade jams, pickles, etc. are available. Gift shop also has lots of interesting and local finds. Samuel the home tour guide was energetic and a wealth of information, I learned a lot about the Amish culture of yesterday and today. Buggy driver was very friendly and the talk in the school was also informative. Highly recommended.

Wife and I visited the farm over the holiday and enjoyed touring the homes, barns (BaBY AMIMALS!) and a buggy tour.

This is a very interesting place. Background information on the Amish culture and the era. Definitely need to visit. Houses, barn, school house . And a buggy ride.

We found the tour of the two Amish houses to be informative and an excellent use of our time. The guide was knowledgable and it was interesting to ride in an Amish buggy.

Visited here with my children. They take you thru 2 houses and a one room schoolhouse. Kids were fascinated.

Great tour of Amish homes, barn, and schoolhouse. We really enjoyed the animals and learning about the Amish life. Beautiful grounds and friendly staff

We visited with 10- and 15-year old kids, and we all enjoyed it! We liked the home tour and barn the best, as the guides provided lots of interesting history and information. The buggy ride and the school house were friendly enough, just not as interactive (the buggy ride is just around a large circle on the grounds). The fry pies and other baked goods at the end of the home tour were AMAZING! There were lots of animals around - the kids loved playing with the kittens and cats outside the gift shop.

My wife and I wanted a chance to learn more about Amish history and culture. The visit to this home was helpful for that purpose. No one actually lives in this home now, so it is essentially a tourist attraction. We purchased a combination ticket, which included a tour of the two homes, the barn, the school, and a ride in an Amish buggy that lasted about 5-10 minutes.

The part that I found most interesting was the tour of the two homes. This was guided by a young Mennonite woman. She gave an interesting talk about Amish history and culture. She was open to any questions. The talk prompted me to visit Wikipedia to learn more about the Amish religion, culture, and history.

The buggy ride was ok, and the guide took a picture of my wife and me in the buggy. We went twice around a path on the grounds. There was nothing real special about the trip, but we do now get to say we have been in an Amish buggy!!

The visit to the school included about a 10 minute talk about Amish education. I learned that the Amish school year is a little shorter than average, that every student learns German so they can sing German songs in their worship service, and that no Amish student goes to school beyond 8th grade, and that the teachers themselves have only an 8th grade education. The "school" is actually a replica, and was never used as an actual school.

The visit to the barn was interesting in that there were a lot of baby chicks, rabbits, cats, and puppies. One thing I also learned is that a lot of the horses that pull Amish wagons in the area are "retired" sulky cart race horses that can no longer compete at the race track. WARNING FOR THE CITY FOLKS: It looks and smells like a barn.

If I were doing this all over again, I might skip the buggy ride and the visit to the school, and save a little money. However, I don't feel at all that I got cheated. Everything was interesting.

Please be aware this place is not handicapped accessible. My wife has some difficulty walking very far. She was tired and chose to sit out the part of the tour that involved climbing stairs or walking very far.

We got the large package which included the house tour, barn tour, school house and buggy ride. It was great to see how and learn why, the Amish live the way they do.

A great place to tour. The home tours were very informative. Our guide did an outstanding presentation and answered questions from the visitors.
The barn tour was very interesting. The gentleman conducting the tour was humorous and very knowledgeable.
We have been to Holmes County several times through the past few years and we always find someplace new to visit.

Our buggy ride is something that I have always wanted to do; maybe a bucket list experience was checked off. We bought our tickets at the gift shop which has many handmade items and restrooms. The buggy ride was about 10 minutes and our tour guide was an older Amish gentleman who we enjoyed conversing with. Beautiful countryside in Holmes County. We did not tour the home or barn because of limited time.

Wonderful! Paid $12 each for a home, school, and barn tour, and a buggy ride! Very informative and pleasant. They sell baked goods at the end of the home tour - yummy! Both my husband and myself found it interesting. Kids on the tour loved the animals in the barn.

It helped that it was a gorgeous autumn day when we visited the farm. The guide was super knowledgeable and forthcoming (no longer living as an Amish person. It was neat seeing inside the home and hearing how family life unfolds for Amish families as well as the differences that exist between Amish and Mennonites. The ride in the buggy was just a short one around parts of the farm but it was still neat. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We were keen to learn about the Amish but we knew that they are a private community who shun the modern world. We found Yoder's Amish home which opened to the public in the early 1980's. It is a 115 acre farm.there are three tours: house, barn and school, the package is the best as it covers all three and lasts exactly 90 minutes.
We were first sent on a buggy ride with Josie as our guide. A young Amish girl in her teens, she was a good guide as she answered our innumerable questions with diplomacy. The ride was actually two rounds of a circuit but gave you the feel of how the Amish go about their travels.
Next was the school which was very basic. We were told about what the children learn and saw their text books and curriculum.
The barn area was all about the animals they have :horse, geese and ducks, pigs etc. many many cats!
The tour of the two houses was the best part. We had a young teenager, what the community calls "English", or non Amish. He told us all about Amish life in the past and today, giving perfect examples and anecdotes. We saw the old traditional home as well as the more modern one. We learnt about the nine Amish communities who go from traditional to semi modern in their use of various equipment and facilities.
There is the local shop where you buy the tickets and the tourist handicrafts made locally.
As the literature states: the visit was enjoyable, educational and a great eye opener into a community who are doing their best in this modern world.

With just a few hours to Lerner everything we could about the Amish but now a big fan of museums, we head here. Great decision! Toured the two houses and the barn, pet all of the farm animals and played with the kittens all in about an hour. And for $7.50/person for just the house tour, the value was terrific.

I loved this tour! Loved going through the homes and learning about the Amish culture. My favorite part though had to be the barn! Got to see a lot of baby animals which is something I absolutely love! Held a baby goat that I so wanted to take home with me. The bakery at the end of the tour of the second home was wonderful! Lots of things to choose from and priced very reasonable. Loved the buggy ride and even though the school house session was rather short, I still found it interesting. I would definitely recommend seeing this place!

If you want to experience a place that seems to be located within a time warp, the Yoder's Amish Home will not disappoint. You will learn about the Amish culture presented by simple and courteous people. It was an eye opener to see how a group of Americans choose to live as if it was the beginning of the twentieth century. Enjoy your tour!

Very interesting at the amount of disipline and faith these folks have. Very freindly. The baked goods are very good and traditional. The gift shop has some very nice local crafts but beware of the Made in China stuff.

Our family did the full-package deal with the visit to the barn, house, school and a buggy ride. The bakery there had delicious treats. We purchased Leah's cookbook so that I can attempt some of the baking at home. What we enjoyed the most of all was the beautiful setting. What a lovely area.

We paid $16.50 for the two of us and had a tour in the barn and house.

They have other options of tours too including an Amish school tour and a carriage ride.

The tour was informative but didn't feel like the lady that done it was enjoying her job at all.
She also didn't seem to like it when her script was interrupted by any questions.

Make sure you visit the bakery at the end! Delicious homemade cookies for $0.50 each.

If you visit the Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center and Yoder's, you should have a great basic introduction to the nice folks of this area. Others have commented on the visit to the houses, barn, school and buggy ride--all were excellent. I even had the chance to chat with an Amish school teacher in English and German. She was delighted that someone could converse with her in German as well. Our young guide's family had Amish roots and she shared with us the differences in the orders among the Amish folk. We were fascinated. The kids will love the barn full of animals and buggy ride. Our son loved the visit with 5 new kittens who followed us all over the grounds, just begging to be petted and fed. Highly recommended.

We did the house tour and buggy ride. The tour guide was knowledgeable and encouraged questions. A number of misconceptions were dispelled.
Purchased elderberry jelly and am enjoying it on my morning toast. We also bought yummy cookies to munch on while we wandered over for our buggy ride. Very pleasant morning!!!

Would recommend. Staff wonderful and insightful. Only did the house and barn tour but have a great time and learned a lot. Loved that that had fresh bakery items for sale ON A HONOR SYSTEM. A must if you want to learn about the Amish.

Great tour by knowledgeable guides. Toured two homes - one strict order Amish & one more modern. Saw the barn (had many baby animals), had a short buggy ride (5 min or so) around a pasture, and a tour of Amish school house and explanation of curriculum. Some tour guides were Amish, some were English.

All for $12 (kids under 12, $8). Beautiful, quiet property.

Expected the entrance to the farm to follow the photo. The tour was great and well presented, however, the homes are not handicap accessible and the steps can be difficult.

Learned a great deal about the Amish and Mennonite communities from local guides and enjoyed the buggy ride. Tours were reasonably priced.

We paid for the three options at this home. With that you get to go through the home, the schoolhouse and take a buggy ride with an Amish gentleman. We had an Amish lady give us the tour of the home explaining about the living spaces as well as the furnishings and clothing on display. We were able to purchase baked goods at the end of that tour. From there we went on our buggy ride, it was short, but the gentleman explained alot about the Amish way of life, as well as his own life. Then, we went into the schoolhouse where an Amish teacher, 17 years old, told us about the school and what is expected of the children. I would certainly visit here if you are in the area, and pay to tour all three areas, not just one of them.

My husband & I paid for all 3 tours-2 houses with Mennonite Guide, school house demo & buggy ride. Our guide Lori was wonderful and really informative about explaining the differences between Old Order & New Order Amish as well as Mennonite traditions. House was well kept and displayed and the baking in-progress smelled Soooo good! Was glad the baked goods could be purchased as well! A definite must!

We missed the tour of the houses because of time. However, we were able to ride a horse and buggy ride. Little pricey for a loop around however it's more about the experience. Next time would like to take the tour of the houses and school house.

The house tour was very informative. Our guide was super knowledgeable and answered every question about Amish life you could think of. The buggy ride was fun for the kids. Great bakery items available at very reasonable rates. The school house is a replica, but still interesting.

had to wait ....but the food was very good ...plus they had a buffet if that's your thing...there was a little gift shop and the desserts were wonderful

Took a tour of the two farm house and learned about the Amish culture. The tour was very good. Took a buggy ride and did a tour the school.

Today we went to visit the Yoder's Amish Home. We tour the daughty house (grandparents home). The main house and the barn, also the school. Our Guide was an older Mennonite lady which was very informative. Oh, yes and our buggy ride was a 13 year old Amish Boy. Sadie the horse had been there for 7 years and we found out that she was saved from being put down and they have given her a good home at the farm.

Although this has a Millersburg mailing address, it is located just north of Walnut Creek. No longer occupied, the farm nevertheless gives good snapshots of Amish life with a ticket including guided tours of a working barn, one room schoolhouse and two residences as well as a buggy ride. Well worth the money and time.

This is a must to do if you want to learn about the Amish lifestyle and culture. They have a great gift shop where you enter for the tour.
You then tour an older Oder and new order home. In one of the homes they are baking goodies for you to buy and take home.
From the home you tour the barn with all their animals. Next is the school house.
At the end we took a buggy ride which was a great experience.
The grounds are beautiful. This is well worth the money for the tour.

We paid $12 per person for the complete package, which included the house tour, the buggy ride and the school tour. Mary was our tour guide and she was wonderful! Very informative and willing to ask any question that may come to mind. I would suggest thinking about some questions you might have ahead of time and making a point to ask them if the are not answered in the tour. There are also some young ladies in the kitchen who make wonderful cookies, breads, and jams for a very reasonable price. I loved that we went in late spring (May) because we were able to see lots of different baby animals including bunnies, puppies, colts, and donkeys. The whole day took us about 2 hours. Very fun, informative and worth while!

It's worth the money to purchase the whole package to learn about the Amish and their way of life. It is very educational if you are not familiar with the culture.The guided tour of the house is a must see! The tour guide is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you have. I've been through it a couple of times and learn something new with each visit.

Took a family member that wanted to go. Very informative, educational, beautiful countryside and landscape. Great guides and the buggy drivers were very friendly. Barn animals are well behaved especially for children. Country roads to get there are very curvy, takes some time and care driving the roads.

I was really looking forward to going on this tour, but I would not recommend this tour to anyone. The people working at the ticket counter are extremely rude and there are a few cats with eye infections. It was so bad, that I left early without finishing the whole tour (I reached out to a couple of different agencies in regards to the animals, but no one would assist me).

tour guide was very interesting and full of information. We were able to go on a buggy ride and tour an Amish school house

Five of us, 4 adults and 1 seven yr old boy toured last month. We appreciated the informative, friendly guides. They answered our many questions. We appreciated the small scale tour -- there were no tour buses, but individual families touring like ourselves.

The homemade cookies were delicious and affordable.

There was a small playground for the children.

We purchased the whole package and spent a few relaxing hours there. It took us about an hour to get there from CAK. Using GPS calmed our directional fears when we were winding down country roads.

We weren't sure what to expect, It was a great experience. the two houses were set up to show and not lived in. Our Non-Amish guide was knowledgeable and explained the clothes etc to us, The buggy ride was the best! Our Driver was an older gentleman and very friendly and talkative. I wouldn't do the school again. It was ok but it again was set up just so us non Amish could see it, The lady that took our money was not Amish, but her grandparents were. She was very not-friendly and very loud and business like.

Great place to visit. Beautiful surroundings. Very affordable. Teenagers enjoyed the visit, came back with a loads of information on Amish life style.

A great place to visit for any age. Educational and fun. Take everything in at your own pace, with plenty of places to stop and rest. Reasonably priced.

We took a group of 16 people (mix of customers and employees. Everyone enjoyed the tour very much! Very informative. Alice did an amazing job with the tour. I highly recommend this to anyone in the area.

Great place to learn about the truth about the Amish, history and their footprint in this world. Awesome tour, love the Amish buggy rides, petting zoo in their barn and really enjoy tour of Amish school house. They also sell bake goods and treats on site :-)
The entire staff including Grandma Yoder was a delight and full of information; both my wife and I learned a great deal about the Amish and Mennonites. This was the highlight of our weekend and we promise to return with friends and family. Thank-you Grandma Yoder for your kindness and all your info about local attractions.

This was a fine place to eat. The food was great and we just enjoyed the atmosphere of good homestyle cooking.

Pastoral setting for a working farm. Knowledgeable, pleasant guides. Barn with, cows, horses, dheep, goats, chickens, cats, dogs, flies

The tour includes the barn and two Amish homes. The staff were kind, and helpful. The barn was loaded with a variety of animals and their young ones. Lots of petting. The tour guide was informative and the homes interesting. There is a bakery onsite. The gift shop had very nice items for sale

Learned a lot from this visit. Had many questions that the staff answered very well. Would highly recommend a visit here.

It was an awesome experience. Learned a lot they are very friendly & informative. From the 2 different houses, the Barn with a variety of types of animals, babies & all. Plus the Horse & buggy ride was a fun time!!!

This was a very fun tour...tour 2 Amish homes, take a ride with a horse and buggy, learn about the Amish school..enjoy an Amish barn and the animals. By far my favor thing we did.

Great place to visit to learn about the Amish. Easy to find and great tour guide. You see 2 Amish homes, a barn and an opportunity for a short buggy ride.

We enjoyed our tour of the homestead. Very friendly tour guides and it was reasonably priced. You only need about an hour to take all three tours and to tour the barn.

Wonderful experience if you are wanting to learn more about the Amish way of life. We enjoyed a walkthrough of an Amish homestead, schoolhouse, farm and buggy ride.

This is probably the best way to learn about the Amish in the area, especially if you have younger kids. Combo ticket for $15/adult and $10/child gets you the a tour of the Amish barn and two amish homes, an Amish carriage ride, and a tour of an Amish schoolhouse. You can buy each attraction separately if you don’t want to do each attraction.

The barn and homes are genuine but the schoolhouse is a reconstruction. The tour guide of the homes was excellent and provided lots of background on the Amish and how they live. Had no idea there are about twenty different sects of amish in Ohio and they all have different rules on how they dress and use technology.

At the end of the tour you get to the Amish bakery where you can buy yummy Amish baked goods that are very reasonably priced.

We spent about two hours here and felt it was worth it. About a ten minute drive from Berlin.

Had a mucho fun time here in the wonderful environment of Ohio Amish Country. Visiting the Yoder's Amish Home just mores highlighted our experience. This place is worth the time, money and the great learning experience.

This was a unique opportunity to see how the Amish really live. They are amazing people. When I left, I wanted my life to be more simple like theirs. I had a great time visiting there and will go there again.

Enjoyed tours and information about homes and Amish life. The buggy ride was fun and gentleman was informative and nice. All the people working there was very nice and informative. They also have a nice gift shop.

This is the best public place in the area to get a real glimpse of how the Amish live. They also have a great farm and playground for kids.

Loved learning about the history. The tour guide answered everyone's questions, and even told us about driving school bus for local kids. They lady working in the kitchen making all the wonderful things you can buy after the tour was nice. Would recommend the place.

We just did the house and barn tour. The tour is fine and informational. Their were some Amish gals cooking in kitchen so it smelled awesome. You end tour in room where you can buy baked goods on the honor system. Cookies, fry pies (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and rolls and bread. All made right there. Cookies were 50 cents.

The highlight for our kids was the barn. They were able to pet and/or hold bunnies, beagle puppies, horses, a 6 week old colt, a 3 week old pot bellied pig, donkey, cats, and kittens. There were also chickens and chicks and hens. My kids LOVE animals so they could have stayed there all day long! Everyone was very friendly. They also offered a tour of a school house and a buggy ride.

Visited Yoder's Family farm on 5/14/16. I was with my two cousins, and we are all in our early 50s. It was fairly easy to find, and parking was easy. We entered the gift shop and purchased a ticket package. An adult package is $12.50, and includes a narrated tour of two Amish homes, the barn, a model school house, and a buggy ride. The tours were informative and interesting. There was an amish woman in one of the kitchensq making baked and canned goods you can purchase for a very nominal fee. Cookies were EXCELLENT! The barn tour was my favorite. They had kittens, puppies, foals, baby goats, rabbits, pigs and ducks!! Sooooooo cute!! The gentleman who gave the tour was so kind and sweet! The school house was interesting too. It was a model school room, but they had an actual Amish teacher there and she was happy to answer all of our questions. The buggy ride was about a 10 or 15 minute ride around the property. Overall, I thought Yoder Family Farm was a great place to visit. Kids would love it! I thought it was well worth the $12.50. Kids tickets are slightly less. There is some walking involved, but nothing going too strenuous. Some people may have difficulty climbing the stairs to the 2nd floor of the home. Plan on 2 or 3 hours to enjoy everything they have to offer.

My wife and I travelled to Zanesville, Ohio to visit our really close friends. One of the attractions listed for us to do on Saturday was visit the Yoder Amish Home. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I can truthfully say it was way more than expected. We took the four part tour (Homes, barn, school and buggy ride)
Our guide was tremendous and very knowledgeable and we were amazed at what we saw and the insight he gave to the lifestyles of the Amish. All the people were very friendly and courteous.

Dinner Meals are very reasonable. The buffet is well worth trying with all homemade dishes and wide variety of entrees and salads. Baked goods and desert can't be missed.

Definitely gives you a good idea of how the Amish live! Walk through the barn, get a tour of the houses, go on a horse and buggy ride and go inside the school house. I definitely learned more things that I never knew about Amish lifestyles. I would recommend getting the complete tour package and doing it all!!

I love coming to this farm. I have been many times. They have lots of animals in the barn and cats are everywhere!

There are 3 tours.

1. House tour

2. School tour

3. Buggy ride

At the end of the house tour are cookies. The Amish have awesome cookies! They also have other foods to purchase such as jams, noodles, etc

This place closes during the winter and opens back around April 22.

You should definitely come here and see this place!

We loved our visit to Yoder’s Amish Home. Our tour guides(3 were actually Amish) were friendly and shared excellent knowledge regarding their way of life. The bakery was wonderful and the baker is a local Amish woman. All items were delicious and so cheap to purchase too! Thoroughly enjoyed our buggy ride and chatting with our Amish driver. We would highly recommend a visit here.

We really enjoyed this tour, visiting the house, barn, a schoolhouse and a buggy ride which we thought was the best.
The barn had beautiful animals with some newborn piglets, rabbits, and fawns. This one little goat was too cute running around.
In the main house they are baking so carry a few extra dollars as the fresh cookies are for sale. Beautiful grounds and well kept.

We learned so much about the Amish families as we enjoyed the buggy ride, house tour, barn tour, and school house tour! The freshly baked and canned items were also wonderful!

Would highly recommend this tour. Gives a real honest prospective on Amish living and their culture. Very interesting house tour and school house tour. Loved riding in an Amish buggy and even seeing how well tended the animals were in the barn.

This is a must do! Our tour guide was phenomenal.... We learned so much about our neighbors basically in our back yard! Very interesting life they live.

If you want a great tour of how the Amish live, this place is for you. There are a variety of tour options where you can learn about the Amish, how they live today and their history. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Went to visit Yoder's Amish House. We enjoyed the buggy ride and the driver was really nice trying to get to know us better. When visiting, one can buy tickets to tour the house, ride the buggy, tour a school or the combination pass which covers all 3 items. We had to get home so we opted only for the buggy ride.

We enjoyed our tour of both Amish homes, the schoolhouse and the beautiful barn. The tour guide was informative. We were able to buy delicious baked goods made in the kitchen of the house. The gift shop had some nice, reasonably priced items. Beautiful property!!

This was a really great way to learn of the Amish culture. There are two homes on site. One set up as most any family lived in the 1800's. The second is how an Amish family lives today. A trained guide explains the daily routine while showing you through an 8 room home that is furnished. Two women are on site baking in the kitchen. At the end of the home tour you may purchase from several kinds of baked goods. Then it is on to the large barn. A gentleman is out here to answer any of your questions and help get the baby bunnies out of the hutch to hold or assure you that you can pet/hold the puppies. Work horses are in their stall along with pigs, goats and Jerusalem donkeys. There are chickens and kittens wandering the barn also. This is the favorite part of the tour for children! There is also a one roomed school house that can be toured and kids will probably want the Amish buggy ride. The tour of the house and barn is $7 for adults and $4 for children (ages4-12).

Guided tour through the Amish country, history of Amish in Ohio was well presented (I think there were only 8 on the tour van).
Guide knowledgeable and answered questions, seemed to know every 'buggy driver and family)' we encountered on the back roads. Tour of the Yoder farm was very interesting, two Amish ladies (one 19 and one a little older), gave good insight into what activities are and how they are assigned to family members. Took a 5 or 10 minute buggy ride around some farmland, good diversion from comfortable cars etc.

Dinner at the Miller farmhouse was Amish fare, potatoes, noodles, green beans, chicken, beef, salad, and several different pies,--the best of which to my taste was a chocolate cream.
Nice five (5) hours, money well spent.

Caution not for people who need 'walkers' or are not able to manage hillsides or stairs.

I think this is a great place to get an understanding about the Amish and their way of life. We enjoyed the tour of the house. It is totally furnished, right down to the clothes that they might wear. The tour guide was pretty good about knowing her "script", but could have done a little better when answering questions about the Amish. Enjoyed the tour of the barn. We saw horses, puppies, kittens, piglets, goats, and chicks. They were precious. Loved the big Belgium horse. She is huge and it was neat to see her close up. I also enjoyed touring the one room school house. The tour guide at the school house knew her stuff and answered all questions asked. She gave a clear understanding of how a one room school house works. She even had examples of text books that the Amish use. We also did the carriage ride which was awesome! The ride was surprisingly comfortable. After seeing the carriages all around town, it was nice to ride in one and see what it is like. The ride is in an enclosed area so no cars at all. They had a nice gift shop to visit and small bakery with pies and cookies. My husband enjoyed talking to an Amish man that was there making apple butter. They were selling it as they made it. Definitely worth a stop and a good place to start your exploration of the Amish way of life.

My wife and I found the tour to be very interesting. Visitors receive some insight into the Amish life and philosophy. It is important to note that this is not a working farm where an Amish family lives. Basically, the tour involves walking through two homes that are set up as they would have been many years ago with a former member of the Amish as your tour guide.

Really great visit to see people with very special belief in Christianity, you look over history of those people and how they reached Ohio.
