The Amish are primarily farmers, however, some are carpenters and cabinet makers. The cabinetries that you find in the homes at The Preserve are designed in the Shaker or Mission style which reflect the theme of Amish life; simplicity, utility, grace and devotion.

Cabinetry construction is done at their home wood shop in La Plata, Missouri. Hand tools such as hand planes and chisels along with true artistry and craftsmanship are used to create each unique piece. Intricate joinery detailing can be seen throughout the cabinetry where traditional dovetailing and mortise and tenon joints enhance the beauty and strength of the wood.

All of the cabinetry is made from solid premium grade hard maple, cherry and hickory with a variety of finishes to choose from.

The Amish live “simply” as part of their faith and their religious practices vary between sects. Amish families live without electricity, automobiles, telephones and many other modern-day conveniences that we embrace. Many of their conveniences were used in America’s 19th Century or earlier – where wood, coal, propane and kerosene fuel stoves and provide heat and light.

You will not find pictures of the Amish people because they believe that photographs violate the biblical teaching against making graven images (Exodus 20:4). They also feel that pictures will promote self-pride and may put their hands or hats over their faces, look away or take some action to avoid having their picture taken.
