how many Amish websites have YOU been going to??
ok ok i know its somewhat incongruous, an Amish e-commerce site. but laugh all you want, i know that these guys (ok these guys with funny beards and buggies) are on to something we could all get in touch with; non-electric functionality. In these days of 1-Ton challenges (the canadian Milquetoast approach to meeting Kyoto), voluntary efficiency and rolling brownouts, picking up a few of the goodies available at Lehmans will not only help you save electricity and do the good planet thing.... it also may ensure you get to eat your supper on time....
Lehmans started off selling what you would expect;
(BTW that's a Snath, not a Scythe) farm tools and simple things that make one's live on the land just a little bit easier, like this one-legged-stool
of course, they have expanded to the wonderful world of non electric goodies of all sorts (power free food processors, hand-cranked blenders for camp-yard smoothies, bed heaters et al.) even veggie (i.e. non-rennet, not vegan, sorry) cheese making kits... they even have a whole wheatgrass sprout-making section (pretty fab for Amish dontcha think?) and this groovy icecream maker
They're actually even 'cooler' than that, deciding that they can do even more to help the planet, they started selling electric thingys too; but efficient, low wattage (like Staber washing machines, Sunfrost fridges...) and then added solar and other ways to make clean energy.... i love these guys!!!!
now while i would like to drive my buggy on down the Appalachians to pick up my ecowares.... it's much easier for all of us to simply click, right? so here it is again... Lehmans
Go Amos go!!
(BTW if you think the Amish online is contradictory... y not take it up with the amish news online
