Something For Everyone

After a few weeks of hot and dry weather it appears like they may be seeing a change in the weather once again. The last few days have cooled off and they have had some rain. Hopefully there will get some more soon.
The tomatoes are ripening up pretty good in the greenhouse so hopefully they be seeing more of those. Onions are plentiful. Lettuce and spinach seem to be producing less and less as the weather gets warmer and the days get longer. They will probably quit harvesting them soon and hopefully have some more int he fall. They are just starting to harvest potatoes and green beans, so that will be a nice change. This week they are starting something new. They are planning to include a recipe each week under the heading "Recipe of the Week." The recipe that has been included this week is kind of a unique one. Our family actually hasn't tried this one, but are planning to in the near future. Topped off with some maple syrup it sounds good to me! Have a nice week!

A full to almost over flowing box this week...green beans, two different kinds of new potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, two kinds of onion, broccoli, kale and leaf lettuce.

This is chilling in the fridge as we speak.

Any questions or if you want to join the CSA just email...

In The Beginning

Andy and Lizzie have known each other since they were very small. Growing up in an Amish community there are plenty of opportunities to play and work together. They grew up in the same church but went to different schools. Several years ago they moved from Wayne County, OH to right outside Hillsboro, OH and established Cedarmore Farm. The farm got it's name very simply...in Wayne County there were very few cedar or sycamore trees . When Andy and Lizzie got here, they noticed an abundance of cedar and sycamore trees on the land. So they just merged the two names and Cedarmore Farm was born. They have worked very hard in the few years that they have been farming the land. Andy and Lizzie are in the process of building their house and hopefully they will be able to move into the upstairs this spring. We can only see good things in their future farming experiences. And we wish them well.

Not only is Cedarmore growing fruits and vegetables. The Andy's have a growing family. They have four of the most precious children! Anna, who is excited about going to school this fall. Dennis who follows Andy around like his shadow. Moses who is doing well after a little run-in with the pigs. And Lovina who is the youngest at 9 months.

Then there is a new season on the farm. In the winter (Jan 2015), the Andy's packed up and moved to MO leaving the CSA in the most capable hands of John and Anna (Anna is Andy's twin sister) Zook and there 7 children. They changed the name of their farm to Cedarmore Farm so we English wouldn't be too confused. So the work has begun to provide lush healthy vegetables for the CSA season 2015 which begins in May.
