This Makes Me Really Happy!

I received this email a few weeks ago, actually the first week of the Fall Share. I am so thrilled that she is in love with all her veggies and things.It makes my heart happy to know we are helping ourselves be a better us and helping the Amish community. I ask her if I could share parts of her email...

I just need you to know how very much I am enjoying my wonderful foods from Cedarmore Farm. Today I have fresh beets and Chinese cabbage. I have already pealed the beets, sliced them and put them in the oven with a little olive oil. I have already washed and sliced my radishes, one of my favorites too!! And this week I received pickled zucchini relish.

You are such an answer to prayer. I had been praying that God will help me to eat healthier and he sent you to help me. Knowing that this delicious box of fresh produce is coming has me eating so much better every day. Last week for lunch I ate fresh greens, delicious fresh tomatoes and radishes. They even sent me Oatmeal raisin cookies last week - just about the best cookie you can eat!!

As you can tell, I am really loving it and it is helping me so much. I have just filled out my paperwork for 2016!!

I need to go and visit Cedarmore Farm sometime with you. Let's plan something for the spring??!!

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.
