Thanksgiving Dinner In A Box

The 2013 CSA season is just about finished...just a few more weeks. That is not good news. Andy is please with this years CSA success. He will be reflecting on it in a few weeks. And I am sure that my next visit to the farm will be filled with conversations like...what did I like? This week we got a small treat...a pint size jar of maple syrup. Yummmmm!

He also reports that the CSA members have been taking time out to respond in a positive way about the CSA. That is a good thing. The Andy's are always glad to hear from the share holders positive and negative. They only want the CSA to grow and be the best that it can be. Thanks for helping with this. They are very thankful for the members because with out them there would be no CSA. So spread the good word and help the Amish Community prosper. It takes all of us to make it work.

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.
