Delaware's Amish population of approximately 2,500 is concentrated in two distinct areas: the Harrington area of Kent County and the Greenwood-Bridgeville corridor of Sussex County. These Old Order communities maintain traditional farming practices on the flat, fertile land of the Delmarva Peninsula, producing goods sold at farm stores and roadside stands throughout the region. The Kent County settlement, centered near Harrington, is the older and larger of the two, with a well-established network of family-run businesses.
Harrington serves as the practical hub for Amish commerce in Delaware. Byler's Store — a large, well-known Amish-run bulk food and dry goods store — is one of the most prominent destinations in the state, offering bulk foods, canned goods, fabrics, and household supplies at prices well below retail.
The Sussex County communities around Greenwood and Bridgeville are smaller and more dispersed, but offer genuine farm-direct purchasing opportunities. Here visitors can find fresh dairy, eggs, produce, and baked goods sold from home farms.
The Harrington-area community in Kent County has been established long enough to support a real commercial ecosystem. Byler's Store is the anchor, but surrounding farms and small operations sell everything from raw milk and cheese to furniture and quilts. Because Delaware's Amish population is relatively small, the community is tight-knit and individual farms often handle multiple trades.
The Greenwood-Bridgeville area in Sussex County feels quieter and more rural. Visitors there are more likely to buy directly from farm stands than from a dedicated store. Both communities are Old Order, meaning horse-and-buggy transportation and traditional dress remain standard.
Late spring through early fall (May through October) is the best window for visiting Delaware's Amish communities. Farm stands are most active during summer when produce is plentiful, and baked goods are available year-round at established stores like Byler's. Avoid visiting on Sundays, when all Amish businesses are closed. Saturdays are the busiest days at stores like Byler's, so weekday mornings offer a more relaxed shopping experience.
Delaware's Amish are predominantly Old Order, affiliated with communities that trace roots to Pennsylvania. They follow the Ordnung — a set of community rules governing dress, technology use, and worship — and hold church services in rotating homes rather than dedicated buildings. Photography of Amish individuals is considered disrespectful and is generally unwelcome. Commercial interactions are welcome and appreciated.
