Cedarmore Farm CSA: The Rains Have Stopped and The Sun Is Out

The Rains Have Stopped and The Sun Is Out

There are veggies hiding under the green beans and lettuce...not going to give it away.

I love to visit when Anna and the girls are cooking. It always smells so good. Right now the house smells like tomatoes and onions because they are making ketchup and tomato juice. The next thing they will make and can is vegetable soup. Anna loves chopping up all the veggies and adding them to the soup. After it is canned the jars are taken to the basement where they can be kept cool. Then this winter when they will need some hot soup to warm them up from the cold out it will come. I imagine there might be some homemade bread to go with it.

John and his boys are out in the field putting up all of the tomato plants. That is a really hot and itchy job. They will work hard to get the job done.

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.
