Product Information
Imagine going back in time to a world not dependent on modern technology. Horse-drawn carriages traveling along dirt roads, hand stacked corn shocks, one room school houses...that is what you'll find in Holmes County, Ohio, the location of the largest Amish community in the world. Mennonites who share this Anabaptist heritage but use limited technology, live here as well. Famous for beautiful vistas, picturesque farms and quaint buggies, Holmes County welcomes millions of visitors to witness its simple way of life each year. Holmespun, through intimate interviews and candid photography, delves into the heart and soul of this unique community.
“Holmespun truly does give readers an intimate portrait of the Amish and Mennonite community, going beyond the clichéd images and into the very heart of the people. This book was written and photographed with the reverence and grace appropriate to its subject.” -Jim Barnes, Managing Editor, Independent Publisher Online
“They have crafted 175 pages of landscape, farmscape, and interior photos that are full of sunlight and the glow of simplicity.”
