Reunion Fun & Farm Stories

We just got back from Angel's family reunion in New Jersey, and it was a treat. We had all the extras—poolside lounging, an epic black light dance party, great food that seemed to never end, and even a day at the Jersey shore. It was a blast, with the best part of being surrounded by family and soaking up time together.

On the drives, Jim did what he always does—scanned for farm fields. I, on the other hand, was busy looking at flowers and houses. Somewhere in northern New Jersey we even spotted a little cornfield squeezed between neighborhoods. It made us smile, but it sure wasn’t the scale of what we have here in Ohio. Coming home to wide-open fields reminded us again how good rural life really is. And lately, our local radio station has been doing a great job of telling of the stories about agriculture in Logan County, Ohio.

Logan County Agriculture on the Air

• Jonathan & Ella King (yes, they’re family!) talked about their organic farm and the purpose behind their work. Read and listen here.

  
  
  
  

• Ella’s parents, owners of Indian Creek Creamery, were also recently highlighted. We use their milk in our cheesemaking at Blue Jacket Dairy. Here’s their feature.

  
  
  
  

• And not long ago, April King (no relation, just another King!) came out for an interview. She even got me, Angel, talking about blue cheese. Check it out here.

  
  
  
  

  

  
  

Logan County may not have the ocean, but we’ve got room to breathe, strong roots, and a community that values agriculture. We’re thankful for the way our local radio station is telling the stories of farmers and creameries across Logan County. It’s a reminder of how much agriculture shapes our community—and how many people work hard every day to keep it thriving.

Blue Jacket Dairy is proud to be part of that story too. If you’re new here, check out our cheeses and see what we’re making with the milk from our local farm partners.
