I did find a phone number
for E&R, They may be Amish but I know a lot of Amish that have
telephones, many have cell phones electricity etc, they just can't use them in
the house. I have a Freind that owns a computer controled Freezer trailer
out of which he sells ice to the Amish in the area, he hires a Mennonite man
to haul it back and forth to the Ice company. Each congregation is
different and the Bishop determines what is acceptable, it varies widely and
they don't believe in a central authority. In Cannelburg Indiana there are
groups wearing lavender and Fuchsia shirts, still in the style of the Amish,
quite a sight LOL. It's pretty fun going to the Amish auction they have
there in the spring and fall, lots of Horse equipment and antiques. I've
even gotten invited to dinner by some of the Amish when I went. Of
course I often gave them a ride home and helped them get equipment home with my
trailer which helped.
Anyway I found a few sites listing
seed companies, this one lists Companies taking the "Safe Seed
Pledge"
Here is a useful one that gives
what seems to be accurate ratings from some of the companies I know
well (except I don't know anything about E&R). They didn't
list Jordans so I couldn't add that.
