    Amish and Camels in PA

    I live in rural central PA which has a large Amish population. A few weeks ago I was driving by an Amish neighbors farm and I thought I saw a camel in the field. I said something to my husband and then forgot about it. Today I drove by and saw not just one camel but a whole herd. When I got home I told my son and he said no way. He said they have to be Llamas or Alpacas. He took the short ride with me and sure enough they're definitely camels.

    A few years ago, a friend at the Bird-in-Hand Fire Company told Stoltzfus that he had a cousin in Turbotville, in Northumberland County, who had a camel herd and was selling the milk, which some people believe is helpful for children with autism or people with diabetes.

    Stoltzfus was looking for natural remedies for his son.

    He got in touch with Noah Peachey, who was operating the state's only camel dairy at the time, and purchased some of the milk. He and his wife felt that the milk improved their son's temperament I live in Northumberland County only 12 miles or so from Turbotville and the farmer mentioned in the article. Seems my neighbor is following suit.

    From another article:

    “But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.”

    Awesome! There's a lot of Amish here, but so far, the only camels I've seen this year have been at the zoo and the county fair. Maybe we'll get some here, too.
    In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.
