Why don't you import genuine Mennonite cheese from Cuahutemoc Chihuahua Mexico?
Don't know but would really like to have some here in Miami, Florida. Used to buy it in Juarez years ago but everything has changed. Wouldn't really appreciate getting shot while purchasing Mennonite Cheese in Downtown Juarez. Its really a shame they don't export it to the US. Would allow those of us who are from that area to enjoy it while sitting on the beach here in Miami. Please forward any information regarding purchasing this cheese in the US when possible. My email is mannyramirezelp@gmail.com.
Viva Juarez!!!!!

Do Mennonites come from Germany?
No they do not .Mennonite is a religion not a race or ethnicity Menno Simmons was a dutch catholic priest. His followers were called mennists as a slang, it is from this that the use of the word mennonite came from to describe his followers. Most of the early followers of the mennonite religion came from the area that today is the Netherland's. There are mennonites today that come from many different ethnicitys, example; Asian, African, spanish, English, Russian, etc. Even when it was first started in Europe by Menno Simmons it was not just one specific group of people, there were Swiss anabaptists, dutch anabaptists, frisian anabaptists and so on. It was a movement for religious freedom from the catholic church. Many anabaptists were killed and slaughterd by the catholic church because of there religious belief. To label the mennonites as German is offensive because "mennonite" is a religious following, not a race or specific group of people. Labeling the mennonites as Germans is not correct ; because of what the Germans did in WW 2. It brings upon a religious movement a kind of disrespect and hatred, which is wrong to do. "Mennonite" is a religion not a race or ethnicity.Today there are people from all over the world and from many different races and ethnicity's that follow the mennonite religion.
What ACT do you need to get into Mennonite School of nursing at ILlinois State?
I think at least a 25
they dance to different kinds of music like jujube and Kaunda and kabuki etc."they dance to different kinds of music like jujube and Kaunda and kabuki etc." I don't know who wrote this, but whomever did is hilarious! Historically, Mennonites considered dancing to be lewd, heretical, and unbecoming of Christian-like behavior. It wasn't until the late 80's that select Mennonite college campuses began allowing on-campus dances. Although there is more tolerance of dancing in the churches now than ever before, dancing is still frowned upon by many in the older generation. So to answer your question: Very few Mennonites dance, and those who do participate in dance forms that you are familiar with (Ballet, Modern, Tap, Hip Hop, Salsa, Bachata, West African, square dancing, liturgical dancing, Twerking, and the Harlem Shake). I was raised Mennonite, and I am now a professional Contemporary dancer. Mennonites aren't much different than the rest of the population despite preconceived notions. They are not Amish (who, by the way, don't dance at all).

Who found the first mennonite settlement in US?
Beginning in 1681, the Quaker experience in North America took an amazing turn. In what has been termed a "holy experiment" in statecraft, William Penn (1644-1718), a young English convert to the Society of Friends, established a colony based on Quaker ideals. In payment for a debt owed Penn's father, the English Crown granted Penn a large tract of land in North America. Penn returned to England and advertised the new colony to encourage people to move there. He wrote of fine lands and forests, a noble river, wild animals, and furs. The new government, he promised, would promote religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence. All were welcome-tradesmen, men without means, and idealists eager to contribute to good government.
Hope of relief from the social and political ills of Europe drew Quakers from England and Northern Ireland. Mennonites and kindred groups came from the Rhine country in Europe. The first settlers were overwhelmingly Quaker, and Penn testified to the colony's auspicious start.
What is the name of the hard winter wheat brought from the Mennonites in the late 1800's?
Turkey is the name of the Hard Red Winter Wheat and is a tall, winter hardy cultivar, grown in the Great Plains. This wheat variety has a unique, rich, and complex flavor and excellent baking qualities. Production methods used are nearly identical to those used for other hard winter wheat, with the exception of accommodating the significantly taller growth habit and later date of harvest.
This particular variety can be traced to Crimea between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov in the early 19th century and earlier to Turkey to the south of the Black Sea. Mennonite immigrants brought it to the United States in the early 1870s, introducing it to the areas surrounding Marian, Reno and Harvey Counties in Kansas. It became the dominant hard red winter wheat in Kansas and much of the Great Plains bread basket and was the major hard winter variety in the 1920s. Significant acreage was planted in Kansas until the mid-1940s when it was replaced with modern higher-yielding cultivars.
Currently, 'Turkey' wheat is grown in a few small plots by hobby growers but the variety has virtually disappeared from the agricultural and gastronomical landscape. Today, few people under thirty have heard the story of Mennonite families fleeing Tsarist persecution and coming to Kansas with trunks of hand-selected 'Turkey' wheat seed. Bryce Stephens of Jennings, Kansas has planted 100 acres, which is likely the largest planting of 'Turkey' wheat in many decades and this planting was harvested during the summer of 2009. With the hope of making more wheat available, increased planting acreage is planned for the coming years. Increased planting and active usage of this variety will help maintain its genetic diversity and viability.
Why did the mennonites come to Canada?
They left Canada primarily to escape the giant sea serpent off the coast of Philadelphia after the Crusades........this isn't true......i was kidding hahahahaha
Yes, many Mennonites do use vacuum cleaners, especially those who are part of more progressive congregations that embrace modern technology. However, more traditional or conservative Mennonite groups may avoid using electric appliances, preferring manual cleaning methods. The use of vacuums can vary widely depending on the specific beliefs and practices of different Mennonite communities.
