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.

This Bud's For You

 
 
 
Here we have a cluster of peach blossoms. Spring is a wondrous time to be in an orchard because the trees are loaded with delicate-looking blooms like these that fill the air with a heavenly scent.
 
But make no mistake, these fragile looking flowers come pre-loaded with enough sweetness to grow into full-blown peaches, given enough time, sun and rain.
 
Like these:
 
 
 
 
Can you imagine having that kind of power?
 
Well, actually, you do. Each one of us come pre-loaded at birth to become full-blown human beings, each one full of potential for sweet, rich lives that also enhance the lives of others.
 
 
SWEET!

P.S. I made this recipe  for Peach Pear Salsa from allrecipes.com several times last season because we also have pears. Yum! Yum!
