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.
Hi, Marcheta, and Merry Christmas / Happy New Year to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the picture of the Perry-Daiber "Stories and Standards" cookbook. I still love the logo you put together for the cover and for use throughout the book. I see it about every other day when I pull out the cookbook for one purpose or another.
Aunt Loraine had me present a copy of the book (one of the final copies not yet spoken for) to friends visiting from Zimbabwe this Christmas. I gave my last copy this to a friend who has worked really hard for/with me in Classical Conversations over the past couple of years.
The Perry-Daiber cookbook should still be available through the publisher when an order of 25 or more is placed. Of course, the smaller the order, the higher the price of the individual books.
It is nice to know that the "Stories and Standards" project, which dominated so much of 2006 and 2007, has continued to generate interest all these years later. I hope you have great success with your cookbook undertaking in 2014!
Sincerely, Alison Kovac
