I visited an Amish Popcorn Shop (60 Flavors!) 

I had an interesting encounter in Ephrata, PA. My husband and I were visiting the Cloisters and in our tour group was a group of Plain people. I assumed they were Mennonites because the men didn't wear hats and the women had scarves, not caps. I asked and the group leader told me they were indeed Mennonites. We talked for a few minutes about the clothing differences. He was very friendly and didn't mind my question. The best part was they asked the tour leader if they could try out the acoustics in the meeting hall by singing after the tour. A few of the group asked if we could listen and he said to join them. They lined up and sang 3 verses of a hymn. Their harmonies were beautiful. It was a little extra treat.

What a heavenly store! And they ship, too! 😋 (Cheesy Crab popcorn - a perfect gift for the tacky grumpy folks in your life.)

Thank you for sharing this. What a cool little shop! If I wasn't half-a-country away I'd absolutely plan a trip. Now I want fancy Amish popcorn. Thanks.

So unique and fun, thank you for sharing! Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

My husband and I spend time in the Holmes County area of Ohio every 4 to 6 weeks, but we enjoy going to Lancaster County for short vacations. I can honestly say that this Popcorn Company is fantastic! My husband enjoyed the several flavors of popcorn I purchased at Emma Lapp's Popcorn Shop. I bought them at the new store just east of Intercourse in August. As soon as my taste buds come back, we plan to make a return trip to Lancaster County so I can enjoy the Popcorn too! And the ice cream! The new shop is large and beautiful, well worth a visit. We found it by chance.

My grandmother was Swiss German from Baltimore Maryland. I LOVE this Channel!!

Thanks for including Emma’s website!

what a great place to get unique gifts for those who enjoy popcorn or even different snacks!

Thank's for sharing this Erik, I'm going to check it out.....We love popcorn!

I wish the western North Carolina Amish store’s sold Emma’s popcorn. They look really good

That all looks delicious and it's great that they have sugar free popcorn, that's what I would need. Thanks for taking us along.

Just from watching the video, I perceive the store has a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. I can only imagine the tantalizing aromas. My favorite way to eat popcorn is simply with lots of melted butter, but I'd sure like to try the cheddar-jalapeno! I also have a sweet tooth and would buy some candy. If I lived close by, I'd be a loyal customer. May God bless and protect their business and all who work there.

There’s a great one in Shipshewana Indiana as well.

What a great video and thanks for the virtual visit

Popcorn is my favorite food, 😋 I can eat it all the time everyday!! Any flavor, even burnt, stale I don't care, I Love it! Yummy!! ❤

Very cool!

I live near Bird-in-Hand and have many Amish friends. Love your videos Erik! And love Emma's Popcorn! Been there many times. Up on the Hill. Lol. Sooo many choices. And fun!! Anxious for their new store opening. And right next to the new Lapp Valley! What could be better than popcorn and ice cream! Nix besser!! 😉

Love your videos! Could you address disability among the Amish? I’m curious to see how they handle individuals with physical disabilities in such a physically demanding lifestyle.

I want to go here so bad.

Looks incredibly yummy !! I could never imagine soooo many different flavors of popcorn !! Well put some spaghetti shaker cheese on sometimes or leftover bacon grease instead of butter that's about as fancy as we get around these parts..lol.. Farout !! thank you for sharing ✌️🙏

Always a pleasure thank you educational and entertaining

I love Emma’s! Only problem is deciding on the flavor.

Oohh...I'm in York Co. Definitely checking this place out the next time I go to Lancaster!

I remember in the first decade of this century stopping at a motel in OH. It was on I71, & I believe exit 165 near Mansfield. There was a large, popular restaurant there, along with a gift shop. There was also truck parking! I would get a blend of four Amish popcorns there. I sure enjoyed that popcorn. What I got was the kernels, not the pre-popped. I have looked into ordering some online, but what I have found has crazy prohibitive shipping costs. If I ever get back to that area, I would check to see if that business is still there.

Amish Church Peanut Butter Popcorn - i must taste this when I am in Lancaster/Gordonville Pa this year, 2023, God willing. I will definitely visit this store. Thanks for posting. I will call them to see if they ship.

What an amazing and beautiful shop!😁

What a neat place.

Looks modern for an Amish shop. A modern electric cash register and freezer cases with electric lights. Also I noticed all their products had UPC codes on them.

Sugar free!!!! My diabetic heart is fluttering.

I couldn't visit this place. I would be broke. I use to frequent an Amish store near where I live but I had to quit going so often.

When I clicked on this video, it was just out of interest in one of the unique ways Amish made money. I tend to not like popcorn so wasn’t too.. invested I should say? But now I’m here, really wanting some of that popcorn- Namely the ones with chocolate or caramel!😅 Really like these vids!❤ Edit: Peanut butter popcorn? Keylime popcorn? Pineapple??😨 Gosh we’re missing out!!😂

Emma's is the best (-and HIGHLY ADDICTIVE)! Shame you couldn't show the prep area. It's fascinating. Since moving to their new location I'm going to miss their loooonnnngggg uphill driveway, the top overlooking the town of New Holland. Great video!

I think I passed Emma's last time I was in Lancaster. Next time I need to stop. Looks like a great place to pick up some Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing.

Because you posted this at exactly the right time, I went to their site and ordered a bunch of their gf flavors for my wife and some plain ol' butter flavor for me. I really appreciate your videos. Thank you. Well done.

You’ve shown us so many great Amish owned businesses in your videos. Is there some type of guide book for Amish owned shops in Lancaster County for people visiting the area?

A very beautiful well designed popcorn shop. I noticed they have a modern electric coffee machine, I thought the Amish are against the use of electricity.

I love popcorn and those sound delicious.

What a lovely store. I can't believe how many options there are to buy. That would be a dangerous store for my wallet 😄

They do have very good popcorn

Great video Mr. Wesner.

👍

Such a cool video! Thanks for putting out such interesting and fun videos!

So many unique flavors! Any Buffalo chicken wing flavor? Many of folks in the Buffalo ares sprinkle Franks hot sauce on our popcorn.

How are you doing mr Erik happy fall if you please can you make special episodes surnames because dr Barry vann channel have 42 episodes about surnames in USA origin meaning as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s Amish pop corn is tiny and tender having great flavor it’s doesn’t stuck in teeth sells four colorful varieties purple, red , blue ,mid night blue .

Thank you for your wonderful cultural channel stay safe blessed we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well best wishes for you your family friends.

Do they sell by mail, phone any delivery to other States? A catalog would be cool too!! Yum!!

Oh my word!!! We're headed to Lancaster end of the month and I just made note of this store. I love to shop at smaller famy stores. I'm so coming here. The peanut butter schmere sounds Heavenly. Oh man, I'm doomed. In the best way. Yum 😋

😍😍😋

I've heard the Amish like spice, especially saffron, in a lot of communities. Is this true? On the flipside, Southerners don't eat much spice, even though people think Cajun food is spicy.

My question is what kind of pajamas do the amish wear just curious?

Ann 🚐🏡☕🌽🥝🌽🍈🌽🥥🌽🍍🌽🌶️🌽

Do they have a online store?

They appear to not be as strict as some Amish stores regarding the use of electricity.

Can we order on-line?

They carry sugar free popcorn. Good for diabetics.

Don’t steal his soul! Great video as always!

Sorry imean Amish surnames

Sorry those stores are not Amish they are passing as Amish and use the Amish to made money.😡😡

Very cool!
