Electricity?

In keeping your food fresh, do Amish have the ability to keep their food fresh? Yes they do. There are some orders of the Amish that use electricity in there homes. If there is no electricity in their homes, there is three options.

First option, is that they rent electricity off those who have it. This is so there is a seperation from this wordly device. They usally keep the frig and freezer in a barn.

The next option is two use gas powered frigs. I never new they existed until I moved to Ohio.

The third option is the use a ice house. This is how we all used to do it. They collect the ice in the winter, so they will have ice through most of the summer.

I would not worry to much about the food you are eating if it is fresh enough.
