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.

"Peter Pan" Syndrome


Some kids never grow up.....





...need I say more? :)

Snow brings memories of childhood outdoor winter fun. Building snowmen, ice skating on a frozen pond, making snow angles, racing down hills on sleds, or (maybe the best of all!) snowball fights are classic activities that kids still enjoy today.  

These days, one snowball tossed from the relative comfort of our front porch is enough for Jim to relive nostalgic memories of growing up on a farm.
