Old Order Amish are forbidden to own cars and they travel in horse-drawn buggies.
While they can’t own a car, they are permitted to accept rides from Englischers – the term for non-Amish folks.
The Amish do not use electricity, as it is a connection to the outside world. Most families have a gas range, but a few still use wood-burning stoves to cook, heat food, and for warmth.
This stove burns coal and the owner mostly uses it to keep food warm on top and to heat the farmhouse.
It’s considered disrespectful to take posed photographs of the Amish. Based on a biblical reference, they do not take pictures or pose for pictures. However sometimes they will let you but you should always ask.
An Amish man does not shave his beard after he is married. Mustaches are forbidden and Amish women never cut their hair.
