Amish-themed reality TV show The Simpler Life sees a group of 24 Brits attempt to live without the trappings of modern life – including technology and gas and mains electricity.
Sent to a farm in rural Devon, the contestants had to ditch their mobile phones, don plain Amish clothing and learn to grow their own food and milk cattle, all while living in a community led by a traditional Amish dairy farming family from Ohio.
Here, Amish family the Millers tell what they learned from modern-day Brits, while the contestants claim taking part in the show completely changed their lives.
The Millers run a dairy farm in Amish Country Ohio and are part of the strict Christian community there.
They live without cars, phones, gas and electricity and embrace simple living, plain dress and church.
They live off the land and have very traditional gender roles – men work and women look after the home and children. Lloyd and Edna have six children and seven grandchildren.
Lloyd said: “It’s a huge community and we are very involved, we all help each other. It feels so comfortable and protected – we’re really there for each other.
“Everyone has their own job and home and we work on the farm with our family.
