Check your ignorance.
Don't argue with that fuckwit. Malcontents like rsilvergun are perpetually enraged by the existence of Amish and other such faith communities that fail to fail.
Yes, you are correct: they are growing steadily, snapping up affordable land when large chunks of contiguous property becomes available. They prefer land that has low value to conventional agrarians; northern state rural property, where winter provides free refrigeration for slaughter. A bonus when it has tracts of hardwood lumber, which they clear (by hand) and use for high quality furniture products.
And the food is crazy. They eat like 19th century landed aristocracy.
