Three USA Amish companies Country, Immergood, and Lifetime are still making old-fashioned ice cream freezers as they were made in the early 1900s. These are Amish companies who have developed ice cream freezers based on the original American standard WM ice cream freezer.
You might ask why are Amish made ice cream freezers such a big deal since these people don’t seem to be as technological inclined?
The Amish for one has a rather refreshing view of how things should be made. They don’t subscribe to planned obsolescence. Out of the same frustrations encountered by most over cheaper made imported products the Amish have developed their own products with an overkill in quality parts and materials used. This combined with the attention to quality details and making products to last for generations is what raises the bar on Amish made products.
As the country transformed to electricity up through the mid-1900s and then experienced an industrial shakeup with a flood of cheaper imported products, the Amish who depend on living off-grid found the supply of quality non-electric goods and wares in shorter supply. Already master furniture builders and skilled machinist the Amish began reproducing items to use in the Amish communities.
You might be surprised at just how technological the Amish have become, they just power things a little bit different than most factories with massive power lines attached.
Tucked in the white buildings next to their homes you will find very advanced machine shops and manufacturing facilities with tools and machinery ran by diesel powered generators, air compressors, or hydraulic pumps.
As the Made in America movement widens and the public steer clear of imported products the Amish made products are really a great value if you can find them.
Since the Amish are not big on computers you won’t find these tucked away factories by a Google Search. Companies such as Cottage Craft Works.com have spent decades traveling the back roads within the various Amish communities to seek out these high-quality American made products and bring them to the public.
The Amish appreciate the additional market exposure of their products and depend on the additional revenues generated by outside sales. Otherwise, their marketing is limited to word of mouth or print advertising in Amish papers and flyers as they don’t use the Internet, TV or radio adverting directly.
Cottage Craft Works has been providing a niche market for Amish made products for over a decade now. They are the only online store that has all three brands of Amish made ice cream freezers, plus the folks at Cottage Craftworks are extremely knowledgeable in helping you select the right one for your homemade ice cream making needs. They were the first to discover and bring the Immergood Freezers to the market.
Just as the small cottage business they serve, Cottage Craft Works owners still answer the phone and provide that old-fashioned customer service that is very rare these days.
