The Amish are unique in their living styles in largely self-sustaining communities. They grow their own food.

The Amish vary greatly from one place to another. Here in Mercer County, they don't grow much of their own food, and when they do, they can it. They do make their own milk, but they like fast food and packaged food. Storing ingredients without refrigeration, cooking fancy meals on a wood stove, and cleaning up after them with no hot running water, isn't so simple.
