An Invitation to Visit The Farm Day

We are happy to let everyone know that we are having Cedarmore’s "Visit the Farm Day" on Sat. June 28th. You are all welcome to come. Highland Haven Farm (Lizzie's brother's farm) will also have "Visit the Farm" on the same day. Highland Haven is the farm that has the dairy products, meat chickens and turkeys. They are about 1/2 mile down the road from us. You are all welcome to attend.

We will meet at Highland Haven farm at 11:30am and have a potluck lunch at 12:00 noon. They will be providing steak burgers and lemonade. If you would like to eat lunch at Highland Haven Farm we ask that you bring along a dish of some sort. It could be a desert or some other side dish. Also please bring tableware for your family and folding chairs. They are not sure they have enough seating. At 1:00 pm. at Highland Haven we will have guest speaker Dr. Renee Norton speaking on nutrition. If you are planning on attending Highland Haven’s potluck lunch please RSVP at www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0A4AA5AA2FA2F94-day/17798748

If you would rather wait and just come to Cedarmore at 2:00 pm that’s fine too. We will be touring Cedarmore Farm from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm. We will be showing you around the farm, answering questions and giving buggy and wagon rides. We hope to see you on Saturday June 28th here at the farm!

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.
