In Mohnton, PA, an Amish Halal Butcher caters to Muslims. For a major Muslim holiday like Eid al-Adha, up to 500 Muslim families may visit the Amish farm to purchase halal meat. The farm also caters to Hindus, primarily from Nepal, and some Africans and some Jews. The farm employs two full-time Muslims, one from Syria and one from Ghana.
Visitors from Philly and Harrisburg often picnic at the farm. Ephraim Stoltzfus, the owner, has become quite knowledgeable about Muslim religious traditions.
It makes me proud to be an American.
