Colors Brighter Than A Rainbow

Nothing like the smell of sweet corn!

The word on the farm is that the weather is delightful. I think they are glad to see things warming up. That means the crops will flourish.

Potatoes will be going in soon. Anna wants us all to know how to store them so that we can get the most out of them. Keep them in a cool, dark place. If they get too much light they will turn green and that is not a good thing Also don't put them in the fridge.

Sweet potato plants really grow well with all the heat and moisture they have been having at Cedarmore. But unfortunately so do the weeds. That is an on going problem.

John was able to take three of the boys fishing early the other morning. Anna says that they were all smiles when they got out of bed and they even had a little bounce in their step. Going fishing with dad is way better than a day pulling weeds.

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.
