The Amish would feel very at home in Grafton, although the winters are pretty harsh - but they could set up some great indoor greenhouses, I bet, for year round living. And they'd have ample help from FSP volunteers, if they wanted or needed it.

Even if the judge rules in his favor, they are going to seek an injunction forcing him and his ten children out of there. There was even an attempt at condemning the home last fall but the county health department couldn't find cause to do such a thing.
