Do they do enough to ensure that their product is pure before selling it?

Amish cider is NOT pasteurized. Read below.
"Fresh apple cider (unpasteurized) is commonly accepted as a safe product due to its acidity and low pH. However, recent outbreaks of E. coli O157:H7 foodborne illness has been attributed to fresh apple cider. This is a serious food pathogen that can sometimes be deadly. Cider manufacturers need to be aware of methods to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
The source of E. coli in fresh apple cider has generally been attributed to contact of the apples with animal feces prior to cider processing. Typically this might occur in the orchard if farm animals or wild animals were grazing and apples dropped to the orchard floor, contacting the feces of these animals. If these apples were later used in apple cider processing, E. coli could be introduced into the cider. E. coli is completely destroyed in properly pasteurized products, however, pasteurization is not typically applied to fresh apple cider."

I would think the Amish would take special care of creating something pure & good for you. I have bought bread from the Amish before & it was wonderful.

I would hope so. The amish are very well known for their "home cookin". Go to an amish restaurant and you will know what I mean. Whenever we are out and see an amish produce stand, we ALWAYS stop.

Have him taste it first and see if he passes out.....
Seriously, I doubt there would be any problem drinking homemade cider. I'd probably stay away from it if it were bottled. The bottling process can create problems. e.g. botulism.
