Thank you for personalizing this experience and following up with me. That means a lot. We're looking forward to receiving the chairs and other items. I'll stay in touch concerning follow up orders to furnish our cabin.

When you think of the Amish, a horse-drawn buggy might be the first thing to come to mind and plain clothing might be the second. The Amish are actually known as the "plain people", because of their plain colored clothing.

Believe it or not, the Amish have names for the "rest of us" (non-Amish) as well: to an Amish farmer, the gawkers who drive by in cars trying to get a glimpse of the Amish are Yankees, Englishers, or High People.

There are Amish people living in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and quite generally across America. The Amish speak Pennsylvania Dutch among themselves, and don't like to mix with outsiders very much. While the Amish avoid most of the conveniences of modern life, some of our Amish log furniture makers do use air compressers (in lieu of electric power). One of them even has a forklift truck (although he was quick to point out that it was propane powered, a feature which apparently made it acceptable.)
