Growing up surrounded by Amish you seem to become ambivelent to what they do. I really still have little clue what there life is about but the roadsides are littered with nice homes and small farms and people who seem content with lifes struggles.
This small farm/community/co-op is located along M-66. They have a bakery and small farm and are in true amish tradition, electicity free. We stopped and purchased some wild black rasberries and carrots.
This may seem like a small accomplishment but in an area with nothing but factory farms it's amazing these people are still able to stay simple. Growing things other than corn and soybeans is a rare thing in southern Michigan.
(real life bent over Amish lady, not one of those wood cutouts)
