Hello Ohio Farmgals
We are preparing to organize a chapter in central Ohio. (atkinst2 and myself) So not only are we here to recruit, but We wanted a place for all Ohio gals to chat. A place they can ask questions of other Ohio farmgals, inspire, share their ideas, thoughts, share what's going on in your neck of the woods. When we are organized we would like to meet up with other chapters for day trips and fun! So we invite all Ohio farmgals to share this thread and chat away!
Locally here in Ohio there is an awesome exhibit at the Ohio History Museum.
"About 1950s: Building the American Dream
Experience life in the 1950s by putting your feet up on the couch, playing a record, peeking in drawers, and rolling in the grass in a full-size prefabricated Lustron home built inside the museum at the Ohio History Center.
“This is an exhibit unlike any other. We want visitors to touch, feel, and try everything in the home so they can immerse themselves in an authentic 1950s experience,” said Sharon Dean, director of museum and library services for the Ohio History Connection.
Expect to see items like a 1957 Chevy Bellaire, an Airstream trailer, Roy Rogers toys and decorations, a bomb shelter hatch, 1950s television news and programs, and a combination clothes and dishwasher! Stop by at the right time and you may get to meet a Lustron salesperson on the front lawn, a doctor making a house call, or a mother making a cake in the kitchen.
Importantly, the exhibit is not all fun and games, but also offers an investigation of the 1950s that goes beneath the glossy, fun pop culture of the time period to examine the challenging and darker undercurrents of the decade. While our cultural memory “remembers” the 1950s as a time of poodle skirts, rock n’ roll, and ideal family roles, this exhibit will invite visitors to dig below the surface to see the lives of real people. Building the American Dream explores the complexity of the time and offers the opportunity to understand and reflect on some of the prevailing myths of the decade.
With the Lustron home as the literal frame to experience the decade, the exhibit invites visitors to explore the complex social environment of a “real” nuclear family from Central Ohio living in a Lustron home during the 1950s: a father, mother, boy, and new baby girl. "
Check it out and plan on joining us there sometime soon!

Oh my...what a wonderful day. The weather was perfect. And we learned so much! Maple sap is clear like water and only has a hint of sugar. Taste more like water. Did you know that in 1900 Ohio only had 5% forest? I didn't know that! Ohio has 33% forest today. I would guess because of Conservation Reserve Programs and farmers or landowners placing farmland into these programs has helped to bring back some forest. At one time Vermont did not have enough wood to cook their maple sap into syrup and came to Ohio for wood, depleting Ohio timber. Ohio ranks between 6th and 10th in US maple syrup production. This totally makes me want to tap one of the maple trees in my yard! And just look at the difference between pancake syrup and maple syrup. If that doesn't make you want 100% maple syrup, nothing will. :)
A couple of inches of sap in a bucket.

Well, the Intown Farmgals were out and about today. We met at Slate Run Historical Farm to learn how maple trees were tapped and how maple syrup was made the 1880's style.
The weather was perfect and the company was great!
Slate Run put on a great educational program on how they tapped maple trees for the sap in the 1880.

In February we got together at my house instead of the library so we could work on badges. We had decided for the month of February we would make bakeovers and earn our BakeOver MakeOver badge. We made a bakeover using blackeyed peas, bacon and onions, with a budget mix crust. We also made a bakeover using Italian sausage, and a mix of fresh vegetables, and crust using the Mary Jane's budget mix. Both were delicious. Even my hubby enjoyed them!

Wow, I am so behind on loading pictures. We continue to have our monthly meetings and have had so much fun. In December we created scented pine cone ornaments for the season. In January, we got together and and stained and strung small gourds. What fun was that! Kinda messy, but we had a great time! You can imagine the fun and laughs we had.
