I am in your former neck of the woods, now living down in Warren. Sugar Grove, PA is not far away and is like “Yoder Central”. I sometimes wonder how I could possibly assimilate to the Amish community... I would have to give up freeping though.
Buy property near them, and become friends by respecting their way of life, and by being helpful.
Asking for their advice and help, showing a serious interest in becoming more self-sufficient would also be a good idea.
Good neighbors and all that.
