But not without gasoline, even though they don’t drive a car. However, the Amish rely on the same fuel we use in our automobiles, to power their tractors, or diesel to power their tools. Home heat and home industries rely on portable generators powered by diesel, propane or gasoline. Thus the Amish are also feeling the pinch with higher prices of these commodities.
In addition, the cost of stains, finishes and lumber has increased. Their suppliers have higher expenses, which they pass on to Amish Furniture buyers, and the Amish manufacturers in turn have to increase their prices to cover their costs.
No one is immune to the economic situation including the Amish.
