Who We Are



The past few years, the area where I live, Crawford County, Ohio, has seen a wonderful explosion of younger families who are embracing the joys and challenges of living off the land. Because of them, amazing things are happening which have been embraced by our community. Farmer’s markets have been created and on-farm stores have opened. Families dedicated to growing organic produce and naturally raised meats are meeting the public’s needs for locally raised foods. And at the heart of this movement are the women.



Ohio Country Journal is my attempt to share the essence of farm life, focusing on, but not limited to, women. My goal is to bring you into our circle of friendship by inviting you to share your stories and experiences with us. You don’t have to be a full time country woman to benefit from joining us; you just have to be you.





The full-time country women featured in Ohio Country Journal are an inspiration to anyone who dares to follow her dreams, whether it is to live in the country or to bring the country life-style to their urban neighborhoods.

New Kid in Town

Kerry is SOOOO ready for Isaac to be
in the outside world.
Well, almost.

Kerry and Ben left for the hospital bright and early this morning because it is Isaac’s long awaited birthday. As I write from Kerry's house, Ben says that Kerry is hooked up to i.v.'s and waiting her turn in the delivery room. It won't be long, now!

It's a busy, busy day for our family.
Ava is fed and Aunt Judy took her to school. Soon-to-be- Big Brother Evan is fed and ready for Aunt Judy to come babysit him today. 


Today is also the day that Ava's class gets to shop the book fair. She's been looking forward to it and has had her list made out for quite some time, so I'll be joining her shopping spree before going to the hospital to meet my new little guy.  I’ll post a picture of  him this evening.

Ava gives Isaac a kiss before she leaves for school
Smiley face Evan isn't aware that his life
is about to change.
