Inside An Amish Farmers Modern Business



Inside The Amish Farm Feeding Modern America

Hey Reader,

We spent an entire day working alongside an Amish farmer in Pennsylvania, and what we found was not what we expected.

Before sunrise, we were helping pack online orders filled with beef, eggs, milk, cheese and other food from small farms throughout the area.

But that left us with a question: How does an Amish farm survive in a modern world?

Over the next 16 hours, we moved cattle, traveled by horse and buggy, made cheese, collected eggs from more than 1,000 chickens, milked cows and followed the food Raymond sells all the way back to where it begins.

And somewhere along the way, this story became about much more than farming.

Raymond is trying to build a business that can support his family and other small farms around him, while being very intentional about not allowing that business to take away the life he is trying to preserve.

One thing he told us has stuck with us ever since: “It’s not the high cost of living. It’s the cost of high living.”

This became one of our favorite conversations we’ve had while filming Unique America, and we’re excited for you to experience it with us.

We hope you enjoy it.

Inside Florida's Elite Dolphin Training Center Hey Reader, This week on Unique America, we’re in the Florida Keys going behind the scenes at Dolphin Life to find out what it really takes to become a dolphin trainer. We went into the day thinking we’d be learning a few hand signals and spending a lot of time in the water. We quickly found out there is a whole lot more happening behind the scenes before a trainer ever asks a dolphin to do a trick. From the early morning prep to learning how...

Inside the World’s Largest Truck Stop Hey Reader, This week’s video takes us inside Iowa 80, the world’s largest truck stop, during one of the biggest trucker events of the year. But what we found was so much more than a massive truck stop. We went in curious about the size, the trucks, the museum, the food, and the people who come from all over the country to be there. But the deeper we got into the day, the more this story became about the men and women behind the wheel. The drivers...

Inside the Town Where Cell Phones Are Banned (Appalachia) Hey there Reader, Deep in the Appalachian Mountains lies one of the strangest places in America, a region where cell phones, Wi-Fi, and even microwaves are supposedly against the law. The internet is full of wild claims about why this place exists, so we traveled there to separate fact from fiction. What we discovered was far more surprising than we expected. Thank you to our friends at Turo for making this adventure possible! Book...
