Farm Market

Today we went 

to a local farm we hadn't been to before

The Apple Country Farm Market

   From their website                          

 At ACFM, the apple harvest season                                                                                                                            begins in early September and runs                                                                                                                                                            

through November. In addition to the large                                                                                                             variety of apples we offer, 

ACFM also produces                                                                           

 fresh cider from apples that are smaller, poorly colored,                                                                                               and less eye-appealing. To enhance the flavor                                                                                                                  of our cider, a special blend of apples is used.                                                                                                                All apples are washed thoroughly                                                                                                                              before being ground and pressed                                                                                                                                       to produce an all-natural product.                                                                                                                                      No preservatives are added.

Honey

Here at Apple Country Farm Market,     
  we maintain our own bee hives to  produce for you                                                                                                  the freshest honey possible. Our available  

     honey  varieties change seasonally                                                                                                                                             from apple blossom honey to pumpkin  honey.

Jams, Jellies and More…

           On the main floor of ACFM’s Country Store,  visitors                                                                                will find a large variety of delicious jams, jellies, preserves,                                                                                   apple  butter, pumpkin butter, relishes, salad dressings,                                                                                      Ohio syrups, Amish  noodles, and sauces.

Community

Last winter

a group of got together

at a local coffee shop

twice a month to discuss topics

regional and federal politics

as well as eduction

children etc

We've had as few as 3 

and as many as 20

We now call ourselves

Community Open Forum

A few months ago

one of our members saw that we

all were having difficulties 

understanding the multiple

issues that were presented

to us to vote on in Nov 

So a group from the group came together

to have a town hall mtg

with all sides of the issues

So last night

all the interest partied

got together with the citizens

to present

The school board presented their 

side of the renewal levy

The health district presented

The crowds listened

The Firemen Union presented why

 they need minimum manning

The Firefighters PAC also 

told their side of minimum manning

A concern citizen against

the city levy increase

The city managers presented why

we should vote 

for the 1/2 percent income tax levy

One councilman gave his point of view

Because the councilman called the 

firefighters 

“selfserving, selfish, arrogant bunch of people.”

they turned their backs in protest

Another City councilman

 got up to say that the other

councilman was speaking for himself

It was an interesting evening

for the most it was civil

I am so proud of what

 our small group of people

accomplished last night.

We were told no one would show up

last night the head count was 96

Our hope is that when

people go to the polls that they

are informed

“Never doubt that a small 

group of committed people

 can change the world.

 Indeed, it is the only

 thing that ever has.” 

-Margaret Mead......

Well tonight might not have been

 the world but its our small part.....
