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.

Warm Woolies

Today's snowfall makes a perfect setting for going to Alpaca Meadow's  Christmas Open House. Last year, Jim purchased a pair of alpaca socks for me from Matt and Julie's on farm store. I gotta tell you, I've never had such nice, warm socks! I am looking forward to buying a few more pairs today, as I love tromping around in the snow taking pictures with my camera, and having toasty warm feet makes my "play dates" more comfortable.

Julie Petty is a "Full-time Country Woman", and I know I'll enjoy taking with her again today. If she agrees, I'll post her bio here on OCJ. :)


Meanwhile, if you are interested in the Petty's business, check out the links above.

And, of course, for no reason what-so-ever, now I have the song "Wooly Bully" playing a continuous loop in my brain :)

Marcheta *uno, dos, one, two, tres, quarto!
