About Us

We are not Amish nor have we ever been Amish or Mennonite in any way.

Anytime you go onto a website and look around and find a few things you like, you end up making sure you can trust the website owners. We want to assure the reader of our love and dedication to our websites as the owners and writers of this website. We also star in our own videos from the actual locations around the Ethridge area Amish community. We have expertise in the lives of the Amish people as we know many of them personally. This friendly context and background gives the website visitor our authenticity as people who would easily be called out as liers if they tried to fake their experience. We only type true and legitimate words here so that the visitor can have trust in us to tell them true and trustworthy sentences and if we don't know something, we write it in as something we don't yet know.

The Amish of Ethridge website is under the umbrella of The Progeny Adventure Group LLC who owns and distributes the content shown in this website. Mike and Josh are the main controlling members of The Progeny Adventure Group LLC and want to show the areas Amish people in a way that would attract visitors to come see them and have fun in Lawrence county and the surrounding area. This should make since being the "progeny" means kids and "adventure" and "group" mean the website companies under the umbrella all have adventure with kids as a central theme!

About the author - Michael Pilkinton

Mike is the main owner with a majority share in the company and all of the websites under the Progeny Adventure Group LLC . When his wife Tara had a 1 pound 13 ounce baby daughter Alana that spent 89 days in the NICU, he knew that parenting was a huge task and one not to be taken lightly. His passion turned into questions that led him to find answers from his 24 years of working in engineering to be applied to parenting with a purpose!

About the author - Josh Brown

Josh is the only son of an Army special forces father who was on a mission to keep Josh in line. He had to miss several fun things with his friends to mow grass or paint for others. He was a janitor who decided he needed to be teaching rather than mopping the floor. So he went to Trevecca University and received a masters in business science. Josh's father died before seeing him walk the stage or see his son David being born and this makes him want to be a great father. 

Growing up in Ethridge

So how do we know anything about the Amish in Ethridge? Mike grew up on 109 High Avenue across the street from his grandparents Henry and Louise Pilkinton and nextdoor from his uncle Donald that everyone called "Hopsing". Across from him was his great grandmother Lillian Wright who was a Dickson before she married. Mike would walk with his grandpa Henry to the Amish on Indiana Avenue and toward South Brace where the majority of Amish lived. They were friends with the Amish and Mike grew up around them. Josh would grow up in Lawrenceburg but befriended people in school who lived in the Amish community as English people. The Amish boys would also hang out with them so Josh got to know them as he grew up and out of school.

High Avenue was beside a store and the Farmer Co-Op feed store . The Amish buggies would bring a constant clopping of horse hooves on the road that would make us look out to see them. 

Mike And Brenda

Mike's dad who was also called Mike but had a different middle name to avoid the senior and junior titles was a feisty youth who would play tricks on the Amish people. Along with his brother Hopsing, they had a race car and would drag race at what is now the Ethridge Motorsports Park just down from where they lived. They have many stories to tell about Ethridge and the mischief they got into. In a way this website was easy to write and explain since the places and features are just like it was years ago. Time doesn't move things along here and the most common response we get from visitors is "It seems like I went back in Time" when they visitors tell us of their journey.

Tomorrow is National Pizza 🍕 Day and we have a video of the best pizza in Lawrence County. Hinies bbq wins the best but the Noble Fox has changed to catering only. There are many places to get great pizza here if you are visiting the Amish community. My favorite pizza is the bee sting pizza that is on the Hinies bbq secret menu so you must ask for it directly. See our video below ⬇️ https://youtu.be/SOSNTXF3Hg8?si=xYJFeWUq5qPQW49x #amishmennonitetn

The Plowboy Produce Auction annual furniture sale for 2025 is April 12th at 9am. Be sure to bring cash for parking, food, and maybe tip money for the Amish boys who load this heavy solid wood furniture for you. This furniture has been made during the winter by the Amish here in Ethridge and the sale is the best way to get your favorite items for less than what it may cost at their homes. This is an auction so you must come early to inspect what you want to try to get and see the ladies in the office to get a number. Then the auctioneer starts their jabbering talk so be there ready to go! See their page here -https://www.facebook.com/plowboyproduceauction - for any questions as I am just sharing the information and showing a few things from past sales. #amishmennonitetn

Our post yesterday did really well and I do wish there were events like this here locally. Many of those who responded did not know of the Amish community here and many of you hadn't known about our other pages like the Amish and Mennonite of Tennessee page where we show communities all over the south. If you are interested in taking a road trip across the southern states then see our page here - https://www.facebook.com/amishmennonitetn - where we show other Amish and Mennonite communities and points of interest along the way. #amishmennonitetn

This event is in Hurricane Mills Tennessee at Overholt's Farm Market and not in Ethridge. They have an annual homesteading event March 1st starting at 5am where they show how to process a hog from beginning to end. They are Mennonite and show the old ways of doing this with time honored traditions. Many of you have expressed how you would like to learn from the Amish. The Mennonite use the same things in this demonstration. They show how to take the whole pig apart and how to wrap and prepare the sections to freeze and how to grind sausage. There will also be plenty of foods as it is all you can eat breakfast and kids and ladies usually have thins inside if you don't want to see what goes into hog preparation. See the flyer below and the photos of Overholt's Farm Market. See their page here - https://www.facebook.com/OverholtsMarket #amishmennonitetn

There is only one church I show here because they have a rodeo series and other events where you can come learn something neat from these cowboys and cowgirls. Since Saturday is the busy day in Amish country, many of our visitors will stay the night so they can spend all day going to the Amish homes. This means if they want a church service on Sunday where many of them dress in cowcountry apparel then this is an option. Behind the church is their rodeo field that is really nice and kept up. They also have potluck dinners where they take animals apart and cook cowboy style so you can learn about how to butcher and cook on an open flame. They also have kids activities and let youth rope and do lesser farmhand activities. Here is there page - https://www.facebook.com/thousandhillscowboychurch - If you want to see when their lineup of rodeo and other events take place. #amishmennonitetn

A few of you have asked about kids play sets and there are some made at 111 Waterfork Road off of Denson Road in Ethridge. Here is a map - https://maps.app.goo.gl/baBySt1mnPdxXktTA - I don't have any prices as he will make you what you want so the prices will vary. He also has cedar chairs and other things. At one time he had high chairs and baby related things he made. #amishmennonitetn
