Growing Their Own Food

The Amish life requires very little expense. All the members of this community grow their own food. They have home gardens where they grow vegetables and fresh fruits. In some homes where they rear cattle or other animals, they grow corn to feed livestock.

This community is not entirely isolated from the rest of the world, and they sell some of their products to supplement their income. Typically, they produce food for immediate consumption, but some of it is canned or pickled for use during winter months.
