You want Amish? You got Amish.... extra-planetary Amish of New Pennsylvania (actually a very good series)
And oh look, Amish Vampires in Space and Amish Zombies from Space .

The “New Pennsylvania” series reads like it pulled an idea from Anne McCaffrey’s Pern series.
Colony ships got permission to go if they took undesirables with them. In the case of Pern, a number of Irish travelers, Tuareg tribes people and gypsies were sent with the colonists.
