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.

Hunka-Hunka Burnin' Love





This is what happens when someone bumps into you when you are taking a picture. And it goes to show, that a mistake is not always a bad thing. 

The object in the picture is actually a flower in Columbus' Franklin Park Conservatory. I am the first to admit that it came out plenty weird, but when I first saw it I *heard* Elvis singing 'hunka-hunka burnin' love' because I think it looks like a heart on fire.  

Heart on fire. Hmmm...I think that for as long as we live, we should keep a flame burning in our hearts for something. Our passion for life is the fuel. When it runs out...well....you know.

Ok, I know that this post sounds a lot like I am throwing philosophy at you, so I'll quit talking now and let you decide for yourself.
