Mary Janes Farm

I love this magazine and just had to share it. Mary Janes Farm is a modern old fashion farm girl's magazine. From stitching to cooking MJF is all about tradition, organic, sustainable, and earth friendly practices.

Some of my favorite articles have been about cooking. Making ketchup and crackers. Two things that I just always bought from the store. I loved the recipes and although I am not sold on making all of my ketchup and crackers I really love that I know how.

Along with the magazine is the Farm Girl Sisterhood. A bit like girl scouts for big girls! There are local chapters or you can do it all on line. Merit badges are awarded much like in Girl Scouts. They have badges in such things as: Going Green, Civic Heritage, Know Your Food, Backyard Farmer, Carp-hen-try, Stargazing Chicks, Knitting.

And I don't even have to live in the country either. To quote the website:

 " We’re country, we’re city, and every texture and stripe in between. It’s not at all about where we live, but how we live."

WOW ... Now that is the help I need to be a country girl in the city! See ya over in the hen house!

    Hi Beth. I too love this magazine. It was FATE that lead me to our local bookstore to find MJ's magazine. I just moved to the city a few months ago and felt and still do a bit alone. This magazine lead to the message board and WOW what a great feeling to be welcomed and have great adult conversations with other women with whom I have so much on common.
