It's been a long day for me already. It began bright and early to set up at Bucyrus' Lil' Farmers Market. Sales were great, I think that most vendors, including me, came very close to selling out.
NICE!
This afternoon, I have been busy with peaches. Today's peachy project is to freeze them in quart bags, which is enough for a pie, cobbler, or crisp. I still have quiet a few to do, but did not want to miss blogging today (and I need a break from standing at my sink), so here I am for a minute or two.
I plan to begin a project this week of having the food for every meal coming from local sources. The crowds that shop at our farmers markets are people of like mind, people who are now being called "localvores". Will you join my localvore challenge? I think that it will be fun as well as healthy!
Marcheta *up for it
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.
