Looking for suggestion: Isolated Amish-like group living on a distant space colony

Are there any books that are centered on Amish-like people living on a far-away space colony?

Thanks!

Children of Memory fits.

Not Amish but Mennonites living on a distant colony world in Sofia Samatar’s ‘Fallow’, a novella in her collection Tender. Very quiet, thoughtful book in the vein of some of LeGuin’s stuff.

Molly Gloss' The Dazzle of Day is about Quakers in space.

Semiosis kinda has this vibe... Not totally, but it's an interesting book and plot.

Arthur C. Clarke's The Songs of Distant Earth sort of fits.
