Threes A Charm

I finally got to see Justin and the boys. And if they could get any cuter I just couldn't stand it. They have grown since last fall. And gotten stronger because they can carry an added box to the porch this season. They don't say to much but the grin from ear to ear!

The weather seems to be making the produce look even better this year. The colors in the boxes are so vivid...all the shades of green and red this week.

lettuce, zucchini, strawberries, Swiss chard, field greens and I got spinach instead of spicy greens. (Andy knows they aren't my favorites)

I was so excited to see the strawberries! Andy has a farmer that provides these to the CSA. And as long as the season lasts, so will the strawberries in our boxes...he thinks maybe for another month. I am always thrilled to see them come and sad to see them go. If you would like extras, those are available, while supplies last, by emailing Cedarmorefarm@TDISP. They will be delivered with you box the next delivery. Please allow at least three days to order. Or you can even order them 'snail mail' by writing to Cedarmore Farm, 12612 Turley Lane, Hillsboro, KY 45133. Please allow a few more days for the mail to arrive to the farm. The orders will be delivered with your CSA box at your regular pick-up location. The price is $4.00 a quart and if you get 10 or more the price is reduce to $3.50 a quart. They will bill you at the end of the month for the extras.

And if all that green and red goodness what not enough....pumpkin bars. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I know that come Thanksgiving time these (lots of these) will be on my to order list! My mouth is doing back flips. I had to sorta hide them last night in my secret hiding place so we would have some for dessert tonight.

We are glad that you stopped in to check us out. Please leave a comment and tell us what you think. Have you had any experience with CSA?

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.
