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 Project, New Blog

November is a transition month for me, thank goodness!



The busy schedule of fall has wound down. It takes a few days to adjust to the reality that I don't have to rush to get produce ready for a market or to be someplace at a certain time.

Such was the case this morning. I can tell you this, a heavenly feeling washed over me when I realized that I can take my time doing whatever I chose to do.

What I chose to do was to get to work on my NaNoWriMo project. To help keep me inspired and to record my thoughts and feelings as I travel this wordy adventure, I started a new blog called NaNo Notebook. If you are interested, you can see it here.

Today was successful, I have over 2000 words so far. At the kick-off party at the library, I wrote four more pages longhand...so when  get them typed up I'll have an even more impressive start.

I know that I won't always have this kind of success, after all, much of what was typed up today was planned ahead of time. But, well, with almost a full month of free days before I need to start working on Christmas greens, this just might be the year that I "Get 'er Done" :)

Sure, I am now spending my days typing like crazy to reach the 50,000 word count by November 30, but never fear...I ain't exactly done talkin' 'bout apples just yet! The trees are still colorful, the weather is not too cold. What a great way to start the end of Autumn!
