It’s hard to pick just one. MaryJane is at the top of the list for sure! There’s also a wonderful antique store in my hometown called Casa Chic. Not only do they sell antiques, but they rent space to others to sell their goods. It’s a great place to spend an afternoon! And I LOVE to hear stories of women farmers (especially dairy farmers).
Secret Sisters Boutique, a consignment shop in Ely, Minnesota. The owners were fantastic and strongly promoted the town and provided a wonderful environment for women to shop. While it’s now closed, I learned so much being a part of Secret Sisters and met some wonderful women who are now my life-time friends.
We have a local store called Junkees, and it is awesome!!! On one side of the huge building, they have vintage clothing at great prices, and the other side is full of funky antiques!

You “MARY JANE!” have inspired me to slow down and ENJOY our FARM! Sometimes we are so busy we miss the little things all around us. Your magazine makes me remember how blessed I am to be living and making our living from the farm!
My favorite is a local place called People Loving People. “It is a second hand store which functions as a means of earning money to support the main focus of the business, which is to provide food to needy persons in the community. More than that, though, furthering goals are to have a community garden and teach classes to help people become more self-sufficient in food production.
Two women at my church created a free-clothes store for community members. They are so inspirational!
My favorite woman owned business is a local bakery called, Dempsey’s Bakery in Little Rock, Arkansas. I love this bakery for many reasons but mainly because it only carries gluten free foods which is a big plus for me since my youngest daughter and I both have Celiac’s Disease.
My favorite Woman-Run business is Unity Stamp Company. Angela provides excellent customer service and fabulous, quality stamp products!
My favorite woman owned business is “Let them be warm”. My daughter crochets infinity scarfs and for every 2 she sells, she donates one to a homeless shelter. Her group got together this year and crocheted beanies for the shelters in her area.

Spiritwind Traditions, Ohio
My own business is my favorite. This business fell in my lap one day as a time of change was approaching in my life. I have complained and kicked and screamed about wanting out but in fact I know this business is teaching me so much more about myself that I could never have known without giving it a whirl. So I would say, Annie Mae’s Boutique is my favorite, for such as time as this!
