Thank you, that makes sense.Nope, it's too cheap on the local reservation. They need their land and time for food and living.
Also, smoking is a vice and an extravagance many in their culture look down on. Growing tobacco would not go over good.

There are some Amish in our area that do use cell phones. They have phone booths outside their homes with a landline and a cell phone charger. Many of them sell wood, tack and do roofing and building, so they "need" a phone.More tales of the Amish pipe smokers! We know they will not be on the English internet to share their experiences!!
But the ones in my direct area, near our home, are Shwartsentruber Amish, who are extremely strict. No phones ever. They live like its 300 years ago. They still run their businesses, but pay "English" neighbors keep a phone line and answering machine for them.
It's hilarious when they come to our clinic/home when they need work done on these hot summer days. I see it in their eyes as they sit in the 67 degree air conditioning....they are green with envy.
@Sig Sounds interesting; if that was me my phone booth outside would be a classic British telephone box designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott: Red telephone box - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_telephone_boxThere are some Amish in our area that do use cell phones.
