Visit The Farm Day

Saturday June 29, 2013

11:30-3:00

The date has been set to visit the farm. Again this year Cedarmore Farm and Highland Haven Farm will jointly hold See The Farm Day. Highland Haven Farm (Lizzie's brother's farm) has dairy products, meat chickens and turkeys. They are about 1/2mile down the lane. From 11:30-3:00 we will be able to tour the farm and Andy and Lizzie will be around to answer all of our Englishers questions and we can take buggy and wagon rides. At the very same time Highland Haven Farm will be doing the same thing at their farm for their customers. You will be able to split your time between the two farms if you are customers of both. Then at 3:00 Highland Haven will have someone speaking about the legalities of raw milk herd shares in Ohio and other related topics. You are welcomed to stay at Cedarmore Farm until 4:00. At 4:00 we will all get to join together and have refreshments at Highland Haven Farm. Andy and Lizzie ask that if you plan to stay for refreshments that you bring something to share. It can be a dessert or any side dish.

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.
