Cedarmore Farm CSA: Anna's Bunnies

Anna's Bunnies

Finally made it out to the farm on Saturday.

I didn't think I was going to make it down their lane once I turned off the hard road. Didn't think wagon ruts could be as bad as potholes, but yes they are. Then their road...the tires sunk down to the white walls. Thank heavens it was all downhill. I was worried about getting out but Lizzie said no problem...they would just hook the horses up to the van and pull me out. Oh how I secretly wish that would have happened.

We chatted for awhile before Andy said that he had to get some work done. I will give you an update on the 'farming' part of Cedarmore in a bit. Today is all about Anna's bunnies.

This is the male that was the second member of the rabbit family. He is a mini Rex.

And there is goes and that is just about all I saw of him all day long.

This is a female that was given to Anna so she could start her bunny business. They plan to raise rabbits to sell at auction. These will not be eating rabbits I am assured.

A little bit of sunning going on.

These are the two surprise bunnies the kids found one morning. They are so cute and very skittish. This is all could get. And they would only come out if we were very, very quiet.

The buck and the doe.

We've got us a little peeper.

The shapes of their heads are just a little different.

I can't wait to see them when they are a little older. One might just need to come home with me. I do have one empty rabbit hutch....

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.
