The Amish live as peasants and artisans in campaigns that jealously keep free from the intrusions of civilization that might compromise their guiding principles.

This generates a sort of combination that may seem odd: the electricity is not allowed, since the downfall of creation and the natural simplicity of living, while alternative sources of energy (like wind, sun, water) are welcome . There are no cars, since the intent is to live with an Amish simple humility and their loved ones and the like: this is the Amish of good breeders of horses (the main driving force), who pull the wagon simple blacks covered or not (such buggies) that have become the symbol of this community.
