> I think a typical Amish family farm

Maybe I was confusing amish with Quaker? I think it was a quaker village near where I grew up, they still use horses to plow fields and stuff like that.

Either way, they're obviously not all living like that, but whichever one it is, they have communities here and there where they live old school
