I am a subscriber and absolutely love this magazine!!!! When it arrives in the mailbox, I know I’ll get nothing done til I’ve read it from cover to cover!!!!! Not only the articles, tips, recipes but I enjoy reading the advertisements as well. I know if they are in this magazine, I can trust them. I’m a country girl and always will be!!
I had never heard of your magazine until a friend on Facebook was commenting about it. After looking over your site I am really interested in getting a free subscription to try it out.
MaryJanesFarm is my FAVORITE magazine but in this economy, subscriptions were one of the first things to go so I’ve had to rely on the generosity of intermittent gift subscriptions to get me by! I would love to win a subscription! Getting a MaryJanesFarm magazine in my mailbox is like getting a REAL, hand-written letter from a friend. Thanks for the chance to win!
The first and only issue I’ve seen was something I saw on a rack in a store far away, and I was instantly hooked. I’ve been meaning to get a subscription but money is tight. For now I reread articles about outfit wedding crafts, backyard chickens, map window shades, etc etc and just marvel at the plethora of ways I can make our loves more organic! It’s pretty thrilling, honestly. I can’t wait to get my hands on another issue.
Oh I am and have been a subscriber since you started the magazine. I remember calling for my first subscription and just some random member of your family I think took my order. We talked about how great you were and he was so sweet.
I TRY to keep all my MJ magazines but somehow they wind up with my daughters or going home with the girls that help me around the house. But it is my Favorite Mag to give to my sweet girlfriends for a gift. Everyone loves it.
Mary Jane Butters…you just have the most sincere writing voice. As I read, it is like you are just sitting on the couch telling me a juicy story while we drink iced tea. Thank you for many happy hours and Keep Farming Girl!

Already a subscriber…..Love this magazine for many reasons: it’s inspiring – I always find something that I respond to, buy, or contact, I.e. sent VCR tapes to a shelter/hospital, found healthy alternatives to different products that I then purchased and have turned out to be new favorites. The informative nature of the entire publication, literally cover-to-cover! This magazine is fun, creative, informative and uplifting. Martha Stewart with a healthy twist! Thank you Mary Jane and all your staff!!
What’s not to love about your magazine?!?!? The covers are always gorgeous. The content is always interesting and informative. It’s a unique and one of a kind magazine that allows women from any walk of life to feel like they can live the farm girl lifestyle. Keep up the great work Mary Jane!!!
I have loved reading your magazine for several years now and it helps keep me grounded in my day to day life! We live in the mountains and have a little homestead with chickens, a green house and now my daughter is looking at angora rabbits, I’m breaking my husband into the goat idea. My daughter also wants to start hunting because of the article I showed her of you hunting with your father. Thank you for slowing us down.

Me Please!
My sister-in-law showed me your magazine, knowing I would thoroughly enjoy it! She was right!
I’m a new subscriber. Fell in love with this magazine while hanging out at my local library with the kiddos and I just had to have it. I gifted myself the subscription for Christmas this year. I love all of the great crafts and recipes that are in it and my dream of being a real farm girl someday keeps coming closer each day.
I think the strength of this magazine for me is that it transports me to somewhere ideal and wonderful. I live very vicariously through the pictures, articles and ideas that fill it’s pages. I love the setting (and all things Washington really), and I also that this is not just a magazine, but a sisterhood of radically different, but yet like minded women who also believe in an ideal and know how to pursue that ideal in life changing and practical ways. It serves as escape and inspiration for all of us to live a cleaner, better, simpler life. 🙂
I have been in love with your magazine for a few years, and had a subscription for at least 3 years. In that time, I have gathered enough information to convince my husband that we can have chickens in our postage stamp yard with the help of your articles on raising chickens. My love of making art out of the recycling pile gets fueled by the ideas your readers share. Each month I consume the magazine from cover to cover, and go to bed that night wondering what I can use from the recycling pile to make something inspired by the months pages. We live on the edge of an east coast city, and dream of a small farm an hour or so away all the time. You keep me dreaming of that next step, and still practicing on my postage stamp yard! Thank you!!
I used to receive the magazine, it was a birthday present but my house burned and I never renewed my subscription but I loved being carried away to all the tranquil places and life that is so serene, truly one of my favorite magazines EVER
I love everything about MaryJane Farms. My daughters love reading it when I am done. Of course they have to give it back so I can look at it over and over 🙂
I received a copy of the Art of the Egg issue, a subscription and 2 of your yummy food bars years ago as a Christmas gift and I’m still enjoying those magazines. =) I am always amazed at the creativity, beauty and yummy recipes that I find in the pages. I am not currently a subscriber but I miss it! Thank you for the giveaway!
Love to enter the subscription contest. Love the magazine!
I am a subscriber thanks to my friend, Author Kathy Shoop. I love, love, love your magazine!!! I pour over every page and find so many things that I want to try. The one section that impresses me greatly is how you encourage writings from your readers. That is a fantastic idea..so fantastic in fact, that I have submitted a story myself!! Sending Best wishes for the magazine’s continured success..and keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I win..you’d be surprised what a Country girl can do with crossed fingers!! Nancy Narma
New here! Would love to have a subscription. I have just come back home to be a full-time wife and homeschooling mommy with a husband, 3 boys, 3 cats and 3 hens in a coupe in our small-town backyard. So looking forward to getting my hands back in the dirt, baking in my apron, creating and enjoying the many blessings in my life that God has provided.
I recently purchased one of your magazines and absolutely loved it. I’ll be retiring very soon and hope to get back to being the Farm Girl that I used to be. Can’t wait!! Looking forward to my goats and chickens and vegetable garden.
I love it all…the recipes, the photos and colors, the decor ideas, gardening and green living tips AND I just got glamper!!! Soon I will be glamping with my Glamping Goddess Gypsy Cowgirl (yes we are all if those things) friends! Receiving your magazine in the mail reminds me how to live life…creatively and simply too! Thank you! Joy
I just subscribed and love your magazine! It takes me away from life’s stresses 4 a bit!
I was *just* introduced to MJF last weekend by some kindred spirits and promptly signed up to be a farmgirl! I’ve had the pleasure of browzing online and hitting up youtube, and I can’t wait for my first issue to come in the mail!
I have never read the magazine, but it looks full of great information.
I haven’t been able to keep my sub in the budget and I really miss it, so I hope I win one!! I’m in love that cover too!!!!
I love Mary Janes Farm! I just discovered this magazine and I love it! I want to always get this magazine. I like what you say about eating Organic and non GMO. Keep up the good work! Oh yeah, and please pick me. 🙂
I came across your magazine online. I’m new to wanting to go organic and I’m sickened at what I’m learning is done to our food without our knowing. I would like to raise what I eat and know it is healthy and not contributing to my numerous health issues. About a year ago I elected to retire early because the stress at work was taking a toll on my health. I am interested in learning more about repurposing and being healthy and your magazine is an excellent resource!!!! I have purchased an issue at the grocery store and have just started reading it. Thank you!!!!
I love MaryJanesFarm magazine because it’s filled with amazing ideas, recipes and articles about amazing women who have taken their dreams and made them a reality in beautiful, useful, and helpful ways. I love reading and learning about their ingenuity and creativeness and am inspired with every turn of the page! Farm girls unite! 🙂
I left a comment some where else. I will try again. i would love a magazine. i havent found one here in Yuma AZ. oh plzzz pick me
I love this book ! it simpliy great . It teach’s you way to do things , like making jams, having a small farm, to sewing , growing fresh fruit and veggies . to having chickens, cows, bunnys, and so much more. This is a little bit of haven just for hard working country loving woman . who also have a shabby chic/ country style to them.
I read every article and every ad – how inspiring you all are! I feel uplifted and encouraged each time I open the pages. Thank you!
I love to read your magazine. Keep up the good work. Thankyou for a chance to win .
Hello,
This may sound strange but I feel that connecting with my farmgirl roots is in a way showing kinship with my mother who grew up on a farm in Northern Michigan.
Thank you for the chance….
I have subscribed before but can no longer afford it! Great read! Thanks for giving me a CHANCE!
I just read your magazine while visiting a great B & B in Lucknow Canada…I fell in love with it! I want to order the back subscriptions as well! I am a newbie to organic gardening and I am inspired by your articles. I love helping people with Simple Solutions and I am jumping up and down with all of your great advice. Can’t wait to get my copy so I can start sharing with my daughters!
I’m not a subscriber, tho i have read your magazies. I do get your emails, love your magazines!!!
found you on facebook
I love EVERYTHING about the magazine! A great range of topics, but my favorite topic is always chickens 🙂
My husband and I became accidental farmers when we moved to La Grande, Or and bought a tiny acreage outside of town. We are just figuring out how to live with a well and septic system, start a garden, keep our produce, etc. We’ve bartered horse pasture for haying/baling and are just trying to figure out country living. Phew! My sister-in-law picked up your magazine at Sandy’s in Joseph and I signed up for the mailing list and Facebook page.
I heard about the magazine from a friend. I check out the website often and love everything I see!!
I first heard of you magazine a few years back while browsing the DIY/decorating section of barns and noble when I fell in love with your book, Mary Jane’s outpost. I keep it by my bed and read sections of it often. I have a few issues of the magazine I have gotten from the store but not a subscription. I would love to win! Thanks!
I love all the wholesome good articles in every issues. Makes me want to live life good and to the fullest. Simple is best and that’s what I find in each issue. They help me too keep reaching for my dream of having a little farm of my own.
Love the magazine. Not a consistent reader but I do love it when I pick it up. I love the female centric articles without being all about makeup and fashion. A great place to learn all sorts of things from farming to cooking.
We moved to the country a few years ago. I never thought I would be a country girl but I find myself loving this life more everyday! MaryJanes Farm would be great to have help me through this process of turning into a country girl at heart!
I’ve loved this magazine since I first saw it afew yrs. ago..so full of interesting ideas, recipes, gardening stuff..you name it..its probably been in it at one time or another. no I don’t have a sub at the moment..had to cut some costs..along with a couple of other magazines…but I plan on getting back on the horse/mag again soon..thanks.Judi
I love MaryJanesFarm, it is the only magazine that I read from cover to cover ! I actually savior it, just like a good food dish, lol. Read it slow and enjoy every page. There is so much useful information in it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE !!!!!!!
Thanks so much, Hugs Sandy
The magazine is great . The photos and stories are inspiring . It brings out that Farm Chick stuff that is inside this Urban Cowgirl . It reminds me of living on that back country road in a simpler time. Keep up the good work !
I so love this magazine! It was wonderful when I discovered MaryJanes Farm at my local book store! It is good to know that I have so many kindred spirits out there… People that get the value in producing their own food and practicing the ” forgotten arts”. I also love the practice of teaching/mentoring young people to value this way of living! Thanks MaryJane and your great staff as well!
I was in the store the other day, and this magazine caught my eye (which is rare since I never usually buy magazines for myself)…and I am in love with this magazine and promptly after reading it…starting looking through it again! I live on a “mountain” in Canada (not a real mountain by any means, but it is called one here) and trying my best to get established on living off of my land and be a little more creative…and this was just the thing I needed to read! Can’t wait for the next issue, and loving the facebook page as well 🙂
