A Living Heritage
For centuries, Amish, Mennonites, and other "plain" communities have preserved a distinctive way of life. The details of practice vary, but most are known for their shared values of simplicity, community, diligence, and peaceableness toward neighbors.
In this culture, families pass down practical skills from generation to generation—whether furniture crafting, food production and prep, or the building of homes and outbuildings. Many limit their use of modern technology—not from superstition, but to protect the spiritual, social, and economic patterns that hold their communities together.
The businesses who qualify for Plain Places tend to be refreshingly out of step with the global throwaway economy. Each time you choose to reward them with your business, you're taking a concrete action to build a brighter world.
