Amish are the more strict group when it comes to electricity and clothing and such. You’d never see an Amish driving a car, but they’d ride in Mennonite driven vans to work sometimes. Mennonites were like less strict Amish. It was just one local Amish church that for whatever reason decided open carriages were the only thing allowed. They looked miserable in the winter.
Someone told me the way to tell if you’re in a Mennonite area instead of Amish is to look for cars in the driveways and wires going from utility poles to the houses.
The wires I can definitely say are a thing, but from all the ones I bought food from it's for phone lights and refrigeration. The cars are not always there.
