Visit The Farm Day!

I am more than just excited to tell you all about a great day that Andy and Lizzie and Lizzie's brother and sister-in-law (Adam and Iva) have planned for us on Saturday, June 16th! 'Visit The Farm Day' will be open to all the Cedarmore Farm CSA participants. Also during that same time Highland Haven Farm will be having 'Visit The Farm'. Highland Haven is the farm that has the dairy products and the meat chickens and turkeys. From 12:00 noon to 3:00PM we will get to see around Cedarmore Farm. Andy and Lizzie will answer all of our questions and just what also develops that day. At the same time Highland Haven will be doing the same thing on their farm for their customers. It might be a tough call for those of you that are with both farms. Maybe it might be a good idea if you split your time up between the two farms. At 3:00PM we all will go over to Highland Haven, which is about a 1/2 a mile down the road, where David Kline from Holmes County will educate us about organic farming...maybe how the Amish forefathers used to farm and how the organic was is the better way. They are also gong to try to fit in some buggy rides and other things we might like, depending on time. Then at about 4:00PM we will have some refreshments. If you want to stay and eat, please bring a dish to share. It can be a dessert or some other side dish. Andy and Lizzie plan to have a salad mix from the farm to share.

Reminder

See the Farm 12:00 noon - 3:00PM

David Kline 3:00-4:00PM

Refreshments 4:00PM

****Please let Cedarmore Farm know how many of you are planning to come to the farm and then if you are planning to stay and eat. They don't need exact numbers, just a ballpark idea of waht to expect for the day. I am hoping that we have a large turn out. It would be wonderful!

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.
