Her husband was long bearded and ever present thru out the day with his full garb on. We used to go to the open flea markets here in miami ans see the amish or menninites there often.we were told they lived in homestead. They always kept to them selves.they sold their wares a little above fair market prices. The holsum goodness, and love and organic hand made products outweighed the difference.

These folks are not Amish, they are German Baptists. Amish do not usually use electricity, cars, etc. Some of the folks (Knaus) have farms near my home town in Indiana. Several years ago, a friend of mine bought one of the Knaus' family homes. They are German Baptists. The men do have long beards, the women wear long dresses and a certain style of head wear.....not Amish.......
