Cedarmore Farm CSA: Yummy Surprise

Yummy Surprise

Strawberry Season has arrived! And according to Andy, it looks like a descent crop...even if they are running a little later this season. Keep your fingers crossed for the weather to stay warm so the produce will pick up. If so maybe we will be getting two quarts in our boxes next week. Zucchini is starting well. If you didn't get any in your box this week, you will next week. This year Cedarmore is trying their green thumbs on peas. In the next few weeks we should be getting some of those. These are the kind of peas that you can eat the entire pea...pod and all or shell them and just eat the peas. We grow them in our garden and they are beyond delicious...and I don't even like peas!

IMPORTANT INFO TO SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS...Summer and Fall Shares are available. Summer Shares start the second week in July and run for 12 weeks. They are available for $180.00. Fall Shares ($170.00) start the first week of October and run for 10 weeks. Check the blog about last years boxes and recipes. You can search by month and year. (June 2013)

Just a reminder to please return you empty boxes, jars and egg cartons to your pick up location. Just leave your empty box when you pick up you full box.

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.
