She said “you know we have been looking for the real deal, barbecue ever since we moved here and we finally found it, a wonderful pork barbecue.” Trish was so excited and told me I had to go. It turned out the “they” Trish referred to was Robert and Colleen Whitson and their son Zachary of Mapleton Farms. She said the smell of the food was so enticing that they turned around and went back to see what they were cooking. Trish said they were riding around on a “scoot” as they call it, when they took Hanger Mill Road off U.S.
They have even gone as far as North Carolina and brought us back barbecue to try, and I must say it was good, it was vinegar based, whereas most of the barbecue in this area tends to be tomato based. They moved to our area about eight years ago from North Carolina, and they kept telling me they couldn’t find any “good” barbecue places around here. 11 by calling the Farm Bureau office at 33.I’ve mentioned before that I love food cooked outside, and my neighbor and good friends Trish and Ray know this.
OUR MAPLETON AND CLEARVIEW FARMS REGISTRATION
Registration is $5 per person and includes dinner. In addition to honoring the award winners, guests at the meeting will hear from guest speaker Ryan Haden from Ohio State ATI. “In 2022, Mapleton FFA hosted our tree sale pick-up at their school and provided countless volunteer hours helping to pack and sort trees for our sale and count Arbor Day programs.”
“Ashland SWCD's annual tree sale is a huge undertaking-and one we couldn't do without the support of our friends like Mapleton FFA,” said Ashland SWCD outreach specialist Ruth McCrea. The final award winner for 2023 is Mapleton FFA, the district’s 2023 Volunteer of the Year.
We truly value their long-term partnership.” “And on top of all of that, they have also been huge supporters of our equipment rental program through their Partners in Watershed Management grant program, which has provided funding funding to add a cover crop interseeder, small ground-driven manure spreader, and cover crop crimper roller to our lineup to help area producers implement next-level conservation pro-gramming on their farm. “Not only is MWCD the driving force and financial support behind our thriving cover crop cost share program, but they also fund our livestock exclusion fencing program, log jam removal projects, voluntary nutrient management cost share and grazing management plan cost share programs,” said Jane Houin, Ashland SWCD director. Willingness to try new practices and programs is common among all of the district’s 2023 award winners, including this year’s Horizon Award winner − the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD). Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District is Horizon Award winner We can't say enough about how we appreciate their willingness to embrace change and new programs.” “From being the first Ashland County producer to use our cover crop inter-seeder to being one of the regular vendors at our Farmer's Basket Markets in Loudonville, Kinsey Valley is always willing to try new programs to help further their conservation goals. “Everyone needs one of those ‘ride or die’ friends in their life-the one you can call up with a new idea and they are always on board,” said Ashland SWCD conservation specialist Katie Eikleberry.
In 2023, Ashland SWCD will honor Kinsey Valley Farm as the Cooperator of the Year. The evening will include opportunities for community members to vote in the SWCD supervisor election and provide feedback on local Farm Bureau policy initiatives as well as recognize conservation and agricultural leaders in the county. Ashland Soil and Water Conservation District and Ashland County Farm Bureau will join forces as they head back to Ashland University for their joint annual meeting Aug.
