Cedarmore Farm CSA: A Little Vegetable Education

A Little Vegetable Education

Strawberry season is all but over...that is the June bearing ones. Later in the fall we should be getting some ever bearing but they don't produce much. Tomatoes in the green house are picking up. As you can see we are now getting green beans. And in a few weeks we will be getting some potatoes.

These long white and green vegetables are leeks. The leeks can be eaten just like dried garlic. Only drawback is that it won't keep long. Andy says that we should keep it in the refrigerator until we use it. (That sounds and seems so funny coming from him.)

There are still Summer and Fall Shares available. Please let your friends know that they can join now and get in on all this goodness! Andy hopes that if you are planning on participation in the Summer Share, you will get the information and payment to him as soon as possible because the Summer Share starts in about three weeks. Don't miss out by waiting to long.

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.
