The Amish farmer has made a commitment to a way of life, one
which fosters family unity and strong faith. The entire family,
which typically averages seven or eight children, works together
on the farm which is then passed down to the sons. The work
done on the farm by each family member directly affects each
individual by their labor providing food and shelter for all.
Amish farmers have a more simple, yet labor intensive, way of getting
their tasks done which have enabled them to avoid taking on large debts like
their more modern counterparts by avoiding large and expensive machinery
purchases. Amish farmers work together, thus strengthening family and
community bonds, by helping each other when needed by making sure silos are
full or helping to build new structures for each other. Based on its rich
past, the Amish life is full of tradition and stewardship and a promise of a
strong future.
The Amish Farmer ornament is an ideal affordable gift for any
Amish collector.
