Actually it's not that. Obviously you have an idealized vision of the Amish, but they are a fraud. All that simple living is a front for tourists. I had a couple huge Amish shed accounts when I was in corporate sales. They are the German equivalent of Hasidic Jews. Behind the office with the oil lamps and abacus was the real office with fax machines and modern business equipment. Hidden in all their barns were brand new gray or black minivans in case they needed to get moving when time was money.
Not out here... Though the Hutterite fork of em are more like that,... still pretty much with the Amish in spirit, but more modern homesteaders (tractors, pickup trucks, etc)
I know a some of each, though most the Amish I know are east of here. Hutts are all over the place right here where I live.
But I've plowed land and drove wagon with horses on Amish farms... I've built haystacks with pitchforks... Built timber-frame barns... All the old ways.
Amish are good folks. So are Hutts... I normally by my chicken from Hutterites.
