Did you know that Michigan is home to the sixth-largest Amish population in the United States? There are approximately 18,000 people in the Michigan Amish community. If you would like to see the simple way of life up close, visit this Amish Flea Market in Clare, MI that takes place right on an Amish farm.
While you’re in Clare you’ll be able to visit one of our favorite Amish bakeries, which we featured on our scenic Amish country route that leads to four old-fashioned bakeries. If you are spending some time in Clare, make sure you plan a day trip to Traverse City (about 90 miles to the northwest) for a Michigan wine-country tour.
