I go to an amish store frequently,and noticed that they have an electric freezer (not hooked up) but use large chunks of ice to basically turn it into a refrigerator.
Today,I asked the lady where she gets her ice from,and she told me they have an icehouse,and in the winter,they cut large chunks of ice out of their pond,and store in the icehouse,another Amish family built the icehouse when they owned the property.
Soon as my schedule is free enough for a tour,she is going to show me the icehouse,will try to get pictures,if allowed,but generally,they don't like pictures (depends on the sect of Amish) and my neighbors are very old order.
