Cedarmore Farm CSA: Another Yummy Suprise

Another Yummy Suprise

Cookies! Cookies! Who likes chocolate chip cookies?

asparagus, radishes, rhubarb, Swiss chard

According to John and Anna the weather at the farm could not be more perfect...clear blue skies with patches of white clouds. With this kind of weather the crops should start picking up. It may be just one more week before the veggies really start coming in. That cold snap put things behind a few weeks.

Tuesdays deliveries will have some cookies. This is to make up for little produce. If you don't find any cookies in your boxes on Friday then that means you will be getting more vegetables then we did at the beginning of the week and John and Anna don't need to 'fill' the box.

Last week was the first week of the CSA this year and they think things went well. They enjoyed packing the boxes and getting the first one under their belts. They are still pretty new at this and are learning as they go. So please be patient and enjoy you box each week.

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.
