They are known for their handcrafted skills

One of the bases to guarantee their principle of having as little interaction with the broader society as possible is by being as self-sufficient as they can. 

Therefore, the Amish are often highly skilled in craftsmanship and cultivating their own produce. They assist in tasks such as building barns, houses, and churches, as well as various farming activities.

The Amish community gathers to collectively build structures, and the construction of barns continues to this day, especially in a few Amish communities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and in some places in Canada.

These skills also give the Amish a reputation as entrepreneurs, allowing them to generate income from their own businesses in carpentry, construction, retail, and restaurants.
