Where Are 400,000 Amish Moving? | The Great Amish Migration Explained

The Amish population has passed 400,000 — and thousands of Amish families are leaving Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in search of affordable farmland. But where are they going?

In this Amish documentary, we trace the greatest Amish migration in modern American history: from the crowded farmlands of Lancaster County to the Ozarks of Missouri, the rolling hills of Kentucky, and the quiet dairy country of upstate New York. Discover why rising land prices, rapid Amish population growth, and a 300-year-old way of life are pushing Amish families toward the American frontier — and how these new Amish settlements are transforming the rural counties they move to.
