The teens turn their hand to farming with some of the hardest working Amish around, and learn about New Order Amish courtship rules, where dating couples can't even hold hands before they're married.
The boys stay with the Lloyd and Edna, New Order Amish who 'love God, live plain and dress plain'. They run their dairy farm as a family operation with no hired help.
The teens are not used to chores - James has never worked and says his religion is 'to do what I like' - but Amish children learn responsibility at a much younger age. As soon as a child is old enough to pick up a shovel, they can work, usually around the age of eight.
For some of the teens it's about converting to God, while others question their own attitude to sex before marriage after seeing the purity of the New Order way of life.
With early mornings, hard work and close contact with animals, how do the teens, who barely wash up at home, and Siana - a vegetarian - cope?
