LIFESTYLE LETTER

JANUARY 2021 PUBLISHER

Joe Violi | joe.violi@lifestylepubs.com EDITOR

Happy New Year to You and Yours!

WELL, MEDINA COUNTY, WE HAVE ARRIVED IN 2021! This past year felt both like it went by in a blur and like it would never end. But one thing is certain—we wouldn’t have made it to this turn of the year without the support of our incredible community.

This January, we want to take some time to focus on our health, your health and Medina County’s health. We all thrive when we work together and hold each other accountable.

Make a point to check on your friends more often this month. Maybe instead of doing happy hour, you offer to do a socially-distanced workout or a virtual lunch date. Maybe you ask for your family’s support as you begin the search for a therapist for the first time.

Main Street Medina Candlelight Walk On Nov. 20-22, 2020, Main Street Medina held its 36th annual Medina Candlelight Walk. Although the socially-distanced event was different from years past, it was still greatly enjoyed by members of the community. It was an excellent way to kick off the 2020 holiday season!

ARTICLE EMILY SHEA PHOTOGRAPHY THE MODERN MILKMAN

the modern milkman MEET RILEY STEINER – OHIO NATIVE AND OWNER OF THE MODERN MILKMAN. We had the opportunity to sit down with him recently to learn about his business and mission to provide high-quality, fresh and local products to consumers’ doorsteps.

1

What is The Modern Milkman and when did you all open?

The Modern Milkman is a home delivery service for fresh and locally-produced milk, butter,

cheese, yogurt, baked goods and more. We officially opened in August 2020, but home delivery had been on our minds since the fall of 2019. When COVID hit in the spring of 2020, we decided we really needed to do home delivery so we could get milk from Buckeye Country Creamery – a creamery owned in part by our family – to our customers’ doorsteps. To make it

2

worthwhile, we also knew that we didn’t want to only deliver milk, so that is why we support other local businesses by carrying their products as well.

What products do you carry?

We carry a wide variety of fridge staple items such as milk, eggs, butter, cheese,

yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, buttermilk, heavy cream, bread, cookies, sweets and more, as well as a wide variety of add-on products such as local honey, creamed honey, coffee, locally made dog treats and a handful of local seasonal items.

26

Medina County Lifestyle | January 2021

3

What local businesses do you partner with to carry this variety of products?

Green Field Farms, Nutrifresh Eggs, Tried & True Granola Co., Minerva Dairy, Buckeye Country

Creamery, Bunker Hill Cheese, Velvet View Farmstead Yogurt, Troyer’s Home Pantry, Urban Honey Bee, Betsy’s Bake Shop and BoBell Cheese Company. All of our products are made locally here in Ohio; our

4 5 6

goal is to partner with small local businesses that do not have their products at your local grocery store.

Where do you deliver?

We currently deliver to almost 40 zip codes, stretching from Wooster over to West

Massillon, all the way up to Parma and everything in between, including Medina, Brunswick, Hinckley, Strongsville, Valley City and more.

Do you offer pickup in addition to delivery?

Yes, if you are not in our delivery area yet or if you would like to come out to

the farm we are located at 11071 Easton Road Rittman, OH, 44270.

How many products can you get delivered and how often?

We offer a weekly delivery and three different order sizes: Full Share

(your choice of any six products each week), Half Share (your choice of any four products each week) and Family Share (your choice of any eight products each week). Best of all, you don’t have to commit to receiv-

ing the same products each week. You can choose which products you would like delivered for the week by logging in to your customer portal on our website. Also, if you are on vacation or simply have too much stashed in your fridge, you can donate your order to a local family in need through our Food Partnership Program. Instead of getting your order delivered to your home, we will deliver your order to The Wooster Hope Center or a local food bank. At the end of the year you, will receive an email including all the donations you sent for the year for tax purposes. We also offer the option to pause for a week. These changes can be easily made via text message or by logging into our customer portal.

As a locally-owned and operated company, All Ohio Radon is a small, experienced team of radon mitigation experts. While they specialize in residential radon gas mitigation system installations, they have the tools and knowledge to help point homeowners in the correct direction when looking to personally test their home for radon or have someone do it for them.

“Around half of the homes in Ohio test high for radon,” says Wayne Porter, All Ohio Radon co-owner and licensed radon mitigation specialist. “It is imperative to have your property tested, and we can help you do it yourself or can point you to someone who can. If that test comes back high, we’ll come in and install a radon mitigation system.”

PARTING THOUGHTS

Medina’s Senior Living Experts ANTHONY AND ANGELA COLEMAN OF CAREPATROL OF NORTH CENTRAL OHIO ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH A STRESSFREE AND EASY WAY TO FIND SAFE AND QUALITY SENIOR CARE CHOICES. Their passion lies in helping seniors transition into senior living environments that fit their individual needs. Best of all, their services are free.

“We are the marriage of a social worker and a real estate agent for senior living,” says Anthony. “We are here to help educate seniors and their families, and get them connected to the senior living centers that we know, like and trust.”

Plus, all of Care Patrol’s recommended senior care communities – from assisted living, independent living, memory care and more – have been pre-screened and vetted so that you know your loved one is going to a safe and dependable place.

“From a wellness perspective, moving your loved one out of isolation to a facility that offers more enrichment, nutritious meals, hands-on care, etc. can turn their life around,” says Anthony. “COVID has impacted a lot, especially life for seniors. Many of them are out of their routine and they’re not able to get out as often. This is tough on their physical and emotional wellbeing. We understand that it’s scary to pursue senior living options for a loved one during a pandemic, and that’s why we are here to help with care and compassion.”
