I happen to be on-line and had a most unusual chat, on the telephone, with an Amish gentleman.
When we were at the Farm Show this past weekend, I had picked up a business card for Smucker's Gourds among others. Checking out the websites listed on the cards I was able to read up on the companies that caught my eye. The card for Smucker's didn't list a website so I called the number to see if they were on the internet somewhere.
The gentleman who answered the phone informed me that they have no website but all of the gourds are for sale, by someone else, at www.AmishGourds.com. As the conversation went on I discovered that the gentleman was actually Amish and the reason they didn't have a website was because they don't own a computer.
This, of course, sparked my interest so I asked him some questions. They have a phone, gas powered refrigerator, lights and stove. Not so different from us. They don't have tv, computers or cell phones.
How interesting, I am so glad that I called!
