How Lovina Zook left the Amish and found an online audience

Meet Lovina Hershberger Zook, the unlikely 23-year-old social media creator who has amassed some six million followers with her recipes and stories about the Amish.

She comes from one of the most conservative subgroups in the Amish, and grew up speaking a dialect of German known as “Pennsylvania Dutch.” She’s no longer Amish – she left the faith five years ago. But she maintains many of their traditions at home. She made her dress, and prefers to wear it around the house.
