Indiana is home to one of the largest Amish populations in the United States, with approximately 60,000 Old Order Amish residents making it the third-largest Amish state after Ohio and Pennsylvania. The heartland of Indiana Amish life lies in Elkhart and LaGrange counties in the northern part of the state, where Amish settlers first arrived in the 1840s. The region centered around Shipshewana, Middlebury, and Goshen grew steadily and today represents one of the most densely settled Amish communities anywhere in North America.

A second major Amish community thrives roughly 150 miles to the southwest in Daviess County, centered on the town of Montgomery. The Daviess County settlement dates to around 1893 and has remained considerably more conservative and less oriented toward tourism than its northern counterpart. Visitors encounter a working agricultural community with roadside stands, small family-run stores, and a produce auction that operates during the growing season.

A smaller but historically significant Swiss Amish community also exists in Adams County near Berne, settled by immigrants from the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland in the 1840s. Across all three regions, Indiana's Amish communities support a robust economy of farms, furniture workshops, and bulk food retailers.

Communities & Character

Shipshewana is the undisputed center of Amish tourism in Indiana. The town's weekly Shipshewana Flea Market — operating Tuesdays and Wednesdays from May through October — draws thousands of visitors and features hundreds of vendors selling fresh produce, handmade quilts, and farm equipment. E&S Sales, located just outside Shipshewana, is one of the region's premier bulk food destinations.

Daviess County offers a sharply different experience — no flea market or theater district, but family-run bulk food stores, a working produce auction (spring through fall), harness shops, and organic buggy traffic on rural county roads. The community is less accustomed to tourist foot traffic, making interactions more organic and commerce clearly rooted in serving local Amish households.

What Indiana is Known For

  • Handcrafted hardwood furniture (oak, cherry, maple dining sets and bedroom furniture)
  • Handmade quilts and quilted wall hangings
  • Bulk dry goods and baking supplies from stores like E&S Sales
  • Fresh-baked bread, pies, and pastries
  • Homemade noodles, jams, jellies, and preserves
  • Locally grown produce and sweet corn from seasonal roadside stands
  • Custom cabinetry and built-in woodwork
  • Horse tack, harnesses, and buggy supplies

Best Time to Visit

The prime window for visiting Indiana Amish country runs from late May through early October. The Shipshewana Flea Market operates Tuesdays and Wednesdays during this period, making a midweek visit the most rewarding time for shoppers. The Daviess County Produce Auction runs on a seasonal schedule with peak activity in late summer. Fall is particularly scenic, and autumn weekends bring strong inventory at farm stands. Activity slows significantly November through March.

Travel Tips

  • Plan your Shipshewana visit for Tuesday or Wednesday during May–October to catch the weekly flea market; arriving early means shorter crowds and first pick of produce vendors.
  • E&S Sales near Shipshewana is one of the best bulk food stores in the Midwest — bring a cooler for cheese, butter, or refrigerated items.
  • No Amish-owned businesses operate on Sundays — plan your itinerary accordingly.
  • Drive State Road 5 between Shipshewana and Middlebury and State Road 120 west toward Goshen for high concentrations of Amish farms and roadside stands.
  • If you're visiting Daviess County, call ahead to confirm produce auction schedule and store hours — the Montgomery area is less oriented toward walk-in tourism.

Cultural & Etiquette Notes

Photography is a sensitive issue — most Old Order Amish in Indiana consider being photographed a violation of their religious principles regarding humility. In Shipshewana, where tourism is well-established, many business owners are accustomed to outside visitors and engage warmly; in Daviess County, a quieter and more observational approach is appropriate. Cash is preferred at most small family-run operations, though some larger retailers now accept cards.
