Keeping Up With The Amish

One day this week I went to the mailbox and I was shocked to find a copy of The Budget.  For those of you that don't know, it is THE Amish/Mennonite newspaper.  Andy and Lizzy have always talked about getting me a subscription.  So I guess now I have one.  And I am so excited about it!!!  I can keep up with my favorite Amish family and all the others ones all over the world.  Andy even said if I looked close enough I might find something he writes.  Well, I have searched every word and found none by him so far.  

Some things that I found interesting.

the largeness of the paper

pictures\colored pictures

children in colorful prints

the information that is shared

advertising for non-Amish businesses

the large number of Amish/Mennonite communities

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Cedarmore Farm to all of you!  Enjoy the day with family and friends.  

Joshua and Johanna

Meet the drivers that make sure your boxes make it from the farm to the pick-up house location.

I think she is half monkey.  Each week Johanna climbs up the truck and get the boxes out of the top of the van.

Her brother, the boss (he, he) unloads and rearranges the van at every drop off location.  I don't know how they keep it all straight.

She's showing off her by lifting them two at a time.

Joshua and Johanna are a fun dynamic duo  They get the job done and then they are off to a different drop-off location.

Time Flew By

To day marks the final week of the2015 CSA season at Cedarmore.

Anna writes...Seasons ebb by on wings of time.  Autumn gracefully bows out as cold, blustery north winds whistle under the eaves.  Cozy, warm winter fires burning keep us toasty warm!  Time to bundle up.  Ere long spring will softly breeze in.....

This is the last week and final week of the 2015 season.  Anna and John have taken great pride in producing and sharing the fruits of their labor with us every week in our boxes.  Over all they have  good feeling about his season.  They did have a few crops fails like carrots, Swiss chard, and sweet potatoes.  The weather may have been a big factor in that.  There were some crops that did exceptionally well like Chinese cabbage, spicy greens, green beans, potatoes, and radishes.

This week you will find a canned good added to your box free of charge to help fill them up.  Enjoy!

There are some hidden surprises under the lettuce.

We thank each of you for being apart of the 2015 CSA .  Hopefully you will return next season.  And maybe tell a few friends about your experience so they might consider joining also.  Sign-up sheets for the 2016 season will be coming out between Christmas and New Years.

Still Seeing Beautiful Boxes

Anna says there is still plenty of lettuce in the greenhouse so we will probably see it in the last box next week.  They are looking forward to the snow coming.  I asked Anna what she will do after the CSA season comes to an end.  She says that will be the time that she has to catch up on her sewing and all the other things she has had to put off.

Just A Fun Visit...No Work Today

Headed down Rt 131 towards Hillsboro and Cedarmore Farm this morning.  The weather is finally turning cooler but it spit rain the entire way.  Seemed like such a slow drive.  But when I pulled into the lane I saw little faces peeking out the window.  That made me smile.

I took a different road today.  I love how you can see the farm from way down the road.  Those sheep I believe belong to Gideon, Andy and Anna's brother.

Now that is a big wood pile.  I asked John how long it would last.  He said that it all depends how cold the winter is.  these slabs will be used for heating water to cook and bathe with.  And it will keep the plants in the greenhouse warm all winter and spring.

When I go I try to bring something special for us to do.  Today we learned how to blow bubbles.  I even showed them my claim to fame...blowing a bubble inside a bubble.  They were so impressed!

Anna knows that I love popcorn.  Today she made some caramel popcorn.  Was it ever delicious!!!  Everytime she opened the oven little hands reached in and got a handful of hot gooey popcorn.  The kitchen smelled sooooo delicious!

I even got a little bag for the ride home!

I learned that the community will be growing by two families in the spring.  John's brother and his family are moving to Hillsboro as well as one of his brothers.  I think between the two families there will be 14 children added to the community.  They may need to add on to the schoolhouse.

John and two of the boys left to go to Marshall for an auction.  So Anna and I just sat and talked for a bit and then I helped sweep up all of the popcorn that managed to land on the floor.

My 'Amish' lesson went okay... I think I passed with a C.  I still need to practice the words that I have because they didn't give me any new ones.
