Surprise Jar This Week

Everyone has a problem with the deer. They eat our hosta like they are eating from a salad bar. And so it seems the vegetable of choice for the deer around Cedarmore is the lettuce. They have eaten about the entire first crop! But John and Anna were able to give us some Chinese cabbage in the box. this week.

More delicious strawberries, asparagus (glad we have some because the chickens got into mine), radishes, yellow squash, zucchini (which is delicious when it is grilled), scapes (check the recipe below), green onions, and a surprise jar of zucchini relish.

Talked to Rue, the new driver and he says that he should be delivering in Milford around 4-4:30 on Tuesdays. We are his last stop. Hope one day when he is not in a hurry we can sit on the porch and solve the problems of the world.

Just a reminder: please bring back you boxes and containers when you pick up your new box. Please break them down and stack them in the proper place at the drop off area.

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.
