Mmmm that sounds delicious.... thank you for telling your experience as well.
You mentioned twice “ Their way of life is not possible anywhere on planet earth, except america.” I was hoping to get you to expound on that statement some. I’m not familiar enough either lifestyles. Basic premise seemed to be self sufficient non technological religious types. But the government hassles those who try to live off the grid. How have the Amish managed to stay insulated from government overreach. I really should look into their lifestyle more.

First off, excuse my syntax. On the road and my phone.
So, an amish family targeted for 250k fine.
In Yoder, Kansas this fine would be absorbed by the community. When i lived in hutch there were i would guess 100 amish families in yoder.
This would mean to cover 250k fine, each family would pay 2,500.00.
For a land owning amish family, this is nothing.
They spend no money compared to the starbucks coffee in morning crowd.
They are frugal to the most extreme.
It is strange, though.
They really do not place value on currency, except to protect their way of life if under attack.
Does that make sense?
They have tons of money, but have no use for it because of the way they live.
But, attack them?
Yeah, the money comes out.
Why, traditionally they are/have never been target rich.
Hope this helps.
Cool. The more I learn the more I admire the Amish.
Furthermore, the amish are passive people and apolitical. They really just want to be left alone.
They are the absolute best neighbor you can have.
They do not want your poorly trained and raised son hanging out with their daughters, but can you blame them?
But, if you have a crisis, they will show up in droves and help out.
Love the Amish!
