This building is OLD and it shows...but in a good way. The bathrooms are odd and cramped but that's…read morethe only negative. Due to the age of the building, I would not recommend a very high or pointy heel on your shoes. There are assorted antiques scattered around, there's a bar, a stage, a popcorn machine. I went to concerts here when I was younger and browsed around the "antiques and primitives" too, and most recently my 15-year high school reunion was at this venue. Really a cool place for something like that. I think it would also be a unique venue for a rustic wedding reception, birthday party, retirement celebration, family reunion, etc. The building is locally owned and thankfully gets regular use rather than being boarded up or torn down, which has been the sad fate of many similar structures. As the name suggests, this building was originally built as a roller mill, and you can still see the canal locks (no longer in use) on the property.

We purchased a few mugs of hers and plan to commission a family platter. Sally had her wares organized by the colors she chooses in the glazing process, which are quite amazing. Even the clay is of different densities rendering each item a little heavier or lighter. When you are holding a nice black clay coffee mug that holds in the heat of the coffee and pairs wonderfully against your lips on each sip, it's pure delight every morning. All her items are dishwasher and microwave safe. Really fascinating to hear her speak about her craft. I highly recommend visiting.

I've taken various friends with me over the years. With COVID this year, you weren't allowed to bring your own bucket, but this was ok because I usually buy their boxes anyway. I like that I can use them and recycle them. Earlier this week, I spent about 2 hours picking strawberries and walked out with about 17 pounds. I was able to make jam & jelly, as well as save some berries to go with strawberry shortcake. The prices are reasonable at $2.95/pound for pick your own and $5.75/container of pre-picked berries.

Today's strawberries were on the smaller side but still sweet. Gathered up over four pounds of berries to make fun concoctions, mostly jelly. Since this wasn't the start of picking season it took about five mins for me to really find some that were worth pulling. In my experience, many were along the irrigation pipes, and the larger ones were covered (shades) with thick green leaves. Tip: Contact or follow the farms social media for key picking times and confirm picking is available before you make the hike to the area.

Not being from Ohio, it was interesting to see and learn about the history odd the state as told through the Johnston family, who lived at and operated the farm from the early to late 1800's. The farmhouse was built in 1812, and added into shortly thereafter so to have both public and private areas. John Johnston was an Indian agent, and at most times had tribal representatives living in the land there. The spring house is still operating, the spring runs well and is smells so fresh! The canal system was especially interesting to me, it was started to move freight and goods from Ohio to other markets. Unfortunately the railways were more successful in the long run. However, you can take a short ride an a portion if the canal system that is intact on the property. Great way to learn about our heritage while enjoying the Johnston farm.
