Lots of horses, odd small tractor. They eat very, very well, and very sociably. An Amish restaurant was a communal place. Think big tables, shared by ten, twelve, twenty people, all sharing big piles of good, simple food.
Minimal experience, but as they don't need to pay for cars, holidays, phones, the Internet or the latest trainers, they don't need to maximise their hay crop, just produce enough to feed their stock, and there's lots of land, so bales per acre probably less of an issue. Seems to be a simpler, quieter way of life and very incongruous within driving distance of Washington DC.
They also make a lot of quilts! |
