I love all the ideas I get from MJF. Good food is a must and I love the gardening tips and all the “how to” photos.
This was the most wonderful issue. I literally read it from cover to cover. I really appreciate all the product and food “warnings”. One would never know about foods such as the almond issue. Keep up the good work!
I enjoy MJFarm for its page turning adventure it takes me on when it arrives in the mail. Being a quilter and lover of all things fabric I enjoy the articles and projects. Great inspiration and wonderful reading with a cup of hot tea.
Mary Janes Farm provides me with inspirational and practical ideas to live a farm girl life, even if it’s just in my dreams☺ Thanks for reminding us all of how simple the good life can be.
I absolutely love everything about this magazine, it would be impossible to pick only one thing, I love the themes and how informative every article is and the photography is excellent. I have never found any other magazine that speaks volumes to my soul, and keeps my interest from cover to cover.
I cherish my Mary Jane’s Farm magazine subscription, and website. I am ever appreciative of her practices for honoring the earth and it’s animals, for engendering in her readers/ followers to honor an ethic of respect for the natural world, and gently pushing us to adopt her “can do” attitude.
I got MaryJane magazine to see if I wanted to reconnect to a part of my past as a hippie and memories of visiting my families homestead as a child. Since I am not crafty though have other strengths i’ve come to realize particularly in this latest issue it’s time for me to renew my subscription. There’s still a part of me left wanting to reconnect and open up to new abilities and skills!
Mary Jane’s Farm is a validation of a way of life. It’s upbeat, up-to-date, uplifting, informative, beautiful, inspiring, down-to-earth, and just plain full of goodness.
I love how with each new issue, there is something (or things) I learn or am inspired by.
I love everything about MaryJanes Farm. My favorites are crafting and cooking articles. I love the wholesome simplicity and beauty of each issue. Thanks for a great read.
There are many things I like about maryjanes farm. But the main reason I like this magazine is because it brings me back to a simpler time. A time when life was pleasant, it reminds me of growing up on the farm which was hard work but enjoyable as a family. I remember my horses and cows and bunches of cats. My mom and dad and the joy we had. It encourages me to dream. 🙂
I like many things about Mary Janes farm. But to narrow it down to one thing would be it encourages me to dream. 🙂
I love the recipes, crafts, tips for a healthy lifestyle and look forward to the arrival of MJF every other month.
Mary Janes Farm is a beautiful, nourishing oasis among the sea of photoshopped publications filled with irrelevant advertising.
The encouragement and inspiration.
I LOVE reading Mary Jane’s Farm — every article has something new for me to learn! I even read every ad 🙂 The last two issues have connected me to people in my community who I didn’t know — both through Farmgirl Expressions. Love it….and you!
A friend of mine bought me a subscription after my husband passed away. I have never been keen on YouTubing directions, or self help tutorials posted all over the web and waiting for the site to open and just at the most critical moment your computer goes to sleep. Since receiving copies, I have learned to use and clean a weedwacker,
grow a vegetable garden, fix things, etc now that I am on my own. The fact that it is a magazine that empowers women to work beyond fears is just so wonderful. I look forward to every copy and try out some interesting recipes. The crafts and ideas help fill my days. Thank you.
After losing my husband a friend of mine bought a subscription to your magazine as a gift for me. I have been empowered to do things that I thought I could never do as a woman due to seeing woman handle what I believed to be an impossibility for me. I mow, I weedwack, I fix things, I garden, I clean tools, cut tree limbs with a saw and trim bushes with a trimmer. I have also learned how to take care of my cast iron, can goods, etc. It is a wonderful magazine. I thank you for helping me through tough times.
I look forward to it’s arrival, knowing my Sister and Best Friend and I will be calling each other and talking about our findings and ideas. I love that there is little advertising, and what there is is useful. I just love the whole delightful magazine. shorts I can read quickly, and longs I can escape with…………….
Love this book I wish I had one to color as coloring bring so many fine and calming memories.
The one thing that I enjoy the most about MJF is the new way of looking at everyday things to perk them up, make them new or make them into something else entirely. It gives you a fresh perspective when you move through your day and makes ordinary tasks that much more fun!
I have been getting MaryJanes Farm magazine for over 13 years I love it, and read cover to cover as soon as I receive it. I have also sent my daughter one every year for Christmas.
The variety and simplness
I like the quilting articles and how to stories .
I love everything about Mary Jane’s Farm!
I love to see thing’s thru MJ’s view. Every time I am so happy to open the magazine and see what new treasures I will learn about.
I love Mary Jane’s Farm magazine because the moment it arrives in my mailbox I start reading and become inspired to do so many things.
I love how every page of Mary Janes Farm allows me to take a trip mentally with each article. As well, I’m constantly learning new tips and getting new ideas – you can never have too much of that!
I love reading the articles from cover to cover. The ads are also fun to read and check out online. The glamping articles are so much fun to check out and imagine what it would be like to do that myself. All in all this is a fun magazine to have and am keeping all my copies to share with my daughter. She is a back to nature and natural gal. Keep up the great articles. Love them all.
I am a first year subscriber to this magazine and I’ve really been loving it. I look forward to every new issue and get excited every time it arrives in the post. I love how there’s something for everyone in every issue. It’s a truly beUtiful magazine filled with tips, tricks and ideas that are feasible for people to attempt completing and in terms of affordability.

How hard is that to only list one thing!! I love the simplicity and the organic.
Thanks for all you do to make the magazine, blogs and interaction fun.
I think what I love most about MaryJanesFarm is the feeling that it’s great to just try any of the ideas in the magazine, or your own. Nothing is preposterous or out of reach.
I was given this magazine as a gift and I am so thankful my friend Ann shred with us…
It has been so fun and full of goodies

Only one thing?!! I would have to say it’s the fact that MaryJanesFarm recognizes the farm girl in all of us. We may be a farm,city,mountain or beach chick with a longing heart for the farm life ..creating,cooking,sewing ,gardening …wanting to get back to our roots. There are ideas for ALL of us to bring out the farmgirl within! I love,love, love this magazine!!!
One thing?! How about, I love all of it! And I would love to win this book too!
There are so many things I love! The articles and recipes…. Everything.
The thing I like best about Mary Jane’s Farm magazine is that everything centers around natural and organic products and ideas.
I love all of the very informative ideas and reading the magazine is just relaxing to me!
Mary Janes magazine in my mailbox is a reason to stop everything and enjoy the front porch swing until it is read cover to cover
One comment on one thing I enjoy?! Well, that is not an easy task. I do love the way the magazine, and website, cover so many areas of homesteading and farm living. I feel that I come away with more ideas and/or a better understanding of what I wish to do… Thank You !
I love the entire magazine! I read it from cover to cover! I love the fantastic photos and the articles, the poems, and the stories of days gone by. I love the recipies, the beautiful smiles, and the wonderful things that today’s women are doing to make a difference in their, and others’, communities. I feel like I’ve come home to a place I’ve never been, every time I open the cover and start to read!
I love how this magazine always has great crafting ideas, things to make and things to decorate your house with. I prefer to make my own versus buying at the store. Most things in my house are homemade and cherished. I am so glad I found this magazine!
I look forward to receiving my copy of Mary Janes Farm because of all your ideas for organic gardening and cooking! Thank you for all your hard work that goes into making each issue exciting and inspiring !!!
I love the beautiful photo’s and the glimpse into farm life…makes me dream…
Mary Jane’s farm allows me to carry a piece of home wherever I go. It feels like sitting in my grandmas kitchen even when I’m sitting in the sterile walls of the chemo unit with my mother.
MaryJaneFarm keeps me feeling the amazing feeling of country and freedom and the love of the simple, BEAUTIFUL life. I am looking forward to that time again for me…but for now it is dreaming, planning and MaryJaneFarm! 🙂
I was drawn to MaryJane’s Farm for a long time before I actually fell for the content just because I liked the look of it. (Although thumbing through this one, I feel like there isn’t as much vintage clip art as their used to be–bring it back!) What I love the most about it, though, is that it covers topics that interest my husband–permaculture, DIY, tools, outdoors activities–in a way that makes them appealing/interesting/understandable to me. In some ways, we don’t have a lot naturally in common, so it’s nice to maximize what we do.
