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.
