I believe you are refering to the Amish. This religious group live in a community that rejects most modern conveniences like cars and electricity. They grow most of their own food, make their own candles for light, chop their own firewood, and use the whole community to raise a barn or other building. Thinking about living without our machines can make some people cringe but the Amish have almost no crime, little disease, domestic violence, runaway or drug addicted teens, car thefts ect.
