Sure makes one think twice before buying any produce from any Amish. Might as well buy it in Mexico.
It seems to me one can keep things clean without using modern technology. It would be more work, but the Amish aren’t afraid of work.
I was stationed in Germany. When our convoy rolled down the back roads past a farm where they were using what we called a “s***slinger” to fertilize fields, you could really smell the difference.
Using manure from any source as fertilizer is an ancient and well established practice. But public hygiene can be protected with modern methods which this particular Amish sect chose to disregard.
Wonder if their kids know about the internet?
I grew up around two holers in my yout’ in a rural country school and the farm in the early 60s. Talk about an experience in the winter. ;-)

Don’t worry. They wash with homemade LYE soap. It will clean anything!
