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.

Don't Cry for Me


 I had a nice, long nature walk this morning. And, of course, I can't help but notice the fact that summer is beginning to fade. 

This rudbeckia seems to be shedding tears from its sad brown eye, but...not really. There was a thin blade of dew-strewn grass just in front of the flower, and the camera lens caught the drops. It reminds me of the song, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina". 

Why?

Well, that's anyone's guess :)

I know for me, I am certainly not crying about summer coming to a close. It is my least favorite season. Autumn cannot arrive soon enough for this gal!
