Amish Auctions

amish-auction

Amish auctions are a unique experience in themselves. The Amish are well known for their Benefit Auctions and their Livestock Auctions.

The benefit auctions are a type of social gathering for the Amish as well as being for the purpose of raising money for special purposes.

It's a time and place for them to get together with friends and family much like a community festival. The good news - you're welcome to attend and get in on the experience!



There are several auction barns in Holmes and Tuscarawas Counties where the farm and livestock auctions are held.

Outside, these barns often feature Amish families selling produce, baked goods and wares. Inside, they buy and sell livestock and other commodities at a regular auction.

The various auctions rotate throughout the week between these four different locations all year around:
