I have a blue jean quilt my mother made and this pillow would go with it perfectly. Mary Jane Farms and the Glampers have made my heart full of joy and sisterhood!!

Worth it. It’s worth all of it. Be it day dreaming or planning next years garden while caring for a current crop. The pain is worth it.

Farmgirl is a condition of the heart because no matter where I am in life, whether it’s a five acre farm or tiny duplex without a yard, I know that the lessons I’ve learned from this community will stick with me. I may not have the space to do everything I want, Farmgirls are clever and I can choose to live that farmgirl life.

Farmgirl is a condition of the heart. I am a city girl by birth but I love to create whether it is growing my herbs, cooking a homecooked meal or creating my own gifts for family members. So would you consider me a farmgirl at heart?

Sometimes daily life can become too repetitive and we find a danger of not celebrating our joy in the little things we do. The “farmgirl” attitude is the reminder to our hearts of not only who we are but to live inspired.

As a retired farmer’s wife and the daughter of a farmer’s daughter, I love the motivation and encouragement Mary Janes Farm brings to women of all ages, backgrounds and locations. I especially love the articles and features on lost and forgotten skills.

Living in “Rural” Idaho and being a “Farm Girl” is an invaluable life; more so now that “isolation” is so important to all of us. I love Mary Jane’s Farm magazine and all she exemplifies. I have all my subscriptions saved and having retired in my first year I am looking forward to many more years of Farm Girl Attitude!

I live in a rural area surrounded by farmland. Farm machinery going up and down our road here are a common occurrence, as well as Amish buggies. I love the fresh, clean country air, even when they spread manure! I discovered Mary Jane’s Farm Magazine at our local quilt/sewing shop and have subscribed to it. I look forward to all the stories, articles and pictures.

That saying just means “down to earth”, we came from the earth to take care of the Earth. It is the best way to stay healthy in so many ways!! Also helps us to not forget were we came from!!! Its the roots that keep us grounded. I was lucky enough to have these kind of roots!!

LOVE THIS PILLOW

Farm girl is a condition of the heart- including whatever makes your heart happy! Holding onto my farm heritage whether I’m hard working outside or at the hospital- homemaking is always where my heart is!

Denim is dear to my heart. My Mom who has been gone for 34 yrs. She wore her first pair of denim underneath a button-down skirt, as women were not allowed to even wear pants, in our town scandalous! But she wore them with pride!!! She was the heart of our family and loved red roses. I love denim too and wear them on most days. I still laugh and smile when I think of my mom, breaking the denim rules!!!

means…to enjoy handmade, homegrown, simple things….appreciate all that God has created and find happiness in helping and sharing those in need.

I was raised in a metropolis area, but love in the country now, and LOVE it!

Always look forward to my next copy of your magazine. I do a lot of gardening. Can always use new ideas

Love this pillow out of different shades of blue. This pillow would be welcomed with a time that we are all dealing with this awful virus keeping us from others we love and care for. It would bring me such great comfort in my life cuddling up with it. Thank you for this fantastic contest! All be well and safe, Winniei 🙂

As I consider this, it reminds me of my townie raised daughter, who now thrives on an Ohio farm with her family where they raise otganic grown produce She absolutely loves farm life and it takes me back to visiting my grandparents on that Oklahoma farm every summer. Thank for this delightful re-visit.

It’s a condition of the heart because it’s everything I love: flowers, gardens, food and fashions!

Farmgirl is definitely a condition of my heart. Born to a widowed Mom I was raised to be a housewife, taught housecleaning, cooking, textiles (sewing, knitting, crocheting and all things crafty) and respect for my elders. I now am also a single Mom, raising my kids on a small animal farm with all its challenges and joys! Your magazine gives me an escape into relaxation with every issue!

It’s reminded me I can stay true to my heart and nature no matter where I am or who I’m with.

I discovered your magazine by accident at my local tractor supply store. I was browsing the magazines and books for something different to read as well as some backyard gardening and canning info. I’m definitely a farm girl at heart. I was raised in the country and gardened and canned anything and everything. I even did it when I was single, for myself and the pleasure of providing for myself. Now I live southern coastal and not country but I have a great husband and a great backyard and still garden and provide for us. Your magazine is truly amazing and inspiring! I love it and it is who I am. I’m looking forward to beginning my subscription.
And I love your denim pillow. I’m all about denim! Your pillow would be a great addition to my many pillows – and I have a lot because of my health issues! But I think your pillow was would take front and center stage to all my others, right next to the neck-pillow my grandma made me many years ago that looks like denim. It’s beautiful!
Thanks so much for your magazine and I’m ecstatic that I discovered it!!

5/27/20~I can only say that if my parents didn’t move from Nyack, NY to Glen Gardner, NJ in 1961 when I was 11 THAT I WOULDN’T have become a farmgirl, so to speak. From a “city girl” to living in the “boonies,” as my NY friends and relatives used to say, living right next to a dairy farm was perfect! Made a younger friend there and STARTED WORKING, helping out with herding the cows in the old pickup (no license either!!) and on the horses; driving tractors around plowing fields, doing all the haying, oats and corn too. Best part were the farm lunches AND coming in sometimes seeing friend’s mother making homemade dough for the apple dumplings! Man they were good. (When I make them to this day, think of her). This hexagon pillow may represent all that you wrote, but it just feels comforting and restful to me. I know I was always beat after working and slept like a baby!

Farmgirl is condition of the heart it is true. Once you have tasted it, you can never forget it or long for it. I grew up a farmgirl on 120 acres of pure bliss as a young girl. Everyday was a new adventure with the animals or the garden. Every night I went to bed, exhausted and satisfied. “Farmgirl” gets into your blood and your heart and you either live completely satisfied in it, knowing there is nothing better, or you long for it knowing what you are missing. Now that I have children, I long for them to have a similar idealic childhood on a farm, as I did. To have animals and endless fields to adventure in and dream tangible and make believe dreams and experience life in the dirt, with it beneath your fingernails and in your very soul; that is living life to the utmost.

Love the Farm Girl ideology – even though I live in the suburbs. It’s helped me to broaden my outdoor horizons, even though – truth be told – I’m more comfortable indoors. But I love cooking and crafts and love seeing those topics in your magazine.

I have enjoyed your health articles and hand craft ideas for years. I have given your magazine as gifts I enjoy it so much myself.

Been a huge fan for years…love it!!

I love your magazine, love all the tips. Always something to check out online. It’s just what I’m in to.

I am not a farm girl but remember my Great Grandparents on their farm some 70 years ago. Was thrilled with the memories your magazine brings back.

My mom showed me your magazine years ago and have been in love with it ever since. I save them. They are too precious to throw away. Thank you for creating such a great magazine.

I stumbled onto to Mary Jane’s Farm magazine accidentally when I bought a stack of old ones at a yard sale… ( why would someone sell them I have no idea?)….needless to say, after I looked through my new found treasure, I got my own subscription and needless to say I’ve never let my subscription lapse.
Blessings,
Lisa Whaley

I’m planning this years garden – wondering where I can possibly squeeze in more tomatoes and veggies. One of the reason I subscribe to Mary Jane’s farm is reading articles like “10 Surprising Health Benefits of Gardening. Thanks

One of your magazines was left in a room by an ER patient in Madras Oregon where I was working as a travel nurse. On my break I got a chance to look through it that was all it took, love at first look. I now have a subscription and allow myself cover to cover time when it arrives.

This magazine was a going away gift from a dear friend. Pay it forward! Since we are both in our late 70s, we are happy to remind you that this magazine truly is for all ages.
The love of home and nature is universal. Thank you for sharing your life, family and friends with us.

My husband and I clean a Senior Living Club House, someone donated their copy of your magazine about 5 years ago. It was right up my alley! I read it cover to cover, found the subscription card and every year since for Christmas my husband renews my subscription! Thank you, jill

I have been receiving your magazine for about a year or more. I liked it so much I bought a gift subscription for a friend. Now we both enjoy your creative ideas and recipes.
P.S. Thank you for including GF recipes!

MaryJane, it’s been such a blessing to me to have your magazines in my life for the past few years. I’m 40 now, and ever since I was a little girl, I’ve known that my heart yearned for experiences and memories of the quality kind. Growing up in rural PA I watched every episode of Little House on the Prairie and felt that I was born in the wrong era. I’ve combed through shelf after shelf in many stores looking for the right country magazine to captivate me and bring a feeling of satisfaction but they all disappointed, until I found MaryJane’s Farm. I homeschool four wonderful children with such discipline that I forget to enjoy the simple moments I should embrace, but when I pull out an old issue of your magazine I am humbly reminded of the importance of each and every moment happening now, and even those that happened in the lives of the women of my childhood. I’m so thankful for this magazine that you’ve put together and the writers that contribute, who tell my story in such artistic and hilarious ways.

I picked up your magazine 4 years ago, and fell in love. I am a So. Cal. girl, but raised in the rural foothills, with chickens, horses, goats and a giant vegetable garden. Even lived in a Teepee for 3 years, hauling water and using gas lamps. Too many fires have burned the ranch, but I still garden and and bake. I cherish Mary Jane’s Farm, and read it the moment I receive it. After a few months, and many reviews of the magazine, I pass it on to like-minded friends. Recycle and share, I’m a MJF girl.

Thank you for bringing me such joy.

I have been getting your magazines for about 15 years and love everyone. When I got my first chickens I named a Buff Orpington MaryJane after your magazine.🥰

My Mom, Mary Jane, was a farm girl who had to quit school because her father needed help on the farm when World War II started and her brothers enlisted. I ordered your magazine in her honor. ❤️

Hi, I actually found this magazine by accident, My husband is a retired police officer who worked at his cousins dairy farm since he was a kid. One day I went to Tractor Supply with him. Honestly I don’t remember what he was there for but I was bored, so I went looking for cards and magazines this was the first one I picked up I started looking through it standing in the aisle reading through I was fascinated and hooked. I would go there just to buy this magazine now I’m a subscriber and our youngest is a police officer, married with 2 babies. He just recently bought a farm about 20 minutes from here . His dad took him to “the farm” from the time he was 2 hes now 37, his wife is a nurse and he wants to raise his boys the way he was raised even though it wasnt our farm. He loved every minute . Now my husband goes to our sons “farm to be”. and to auctions buying equipment they’ll need. Its has come full circle and we couldn’t be happier for him. I’m so sorry I just told you about our whole life. Truth is I’m learning so much from your magazine and look forward to every issue. .

The first time I held your magazine in my hands was back in 2013 with the Dec/Jan issue. It had the burlap wreath on the front. From that point on I was an avid reader of this magazine and gave been subscribed to it from that issue. I always find something intriguing to make or cook. I always look forward to the next issue and can hardly wait for it to arrive. We have always been involved with the farm related life. Our kids went through the FFA program and went on to receive their American Farmer Degrees.
Thank you for such a tremendous magazine.
I absolutely love the current Denim line you now gave.
Sincerely,
Linda Rogers

I discovered your magazine several years ago and look forward to reading each issue. I also gift it to two other family members for Christmas presents. I was raised on a farm and many of the articles remind me of those days and past family members. Growing up on a farm teaches one many beneficial skills that aren’t always recognized until later in life. Of course, a big part of farm life is denim. Denim is simple, comfortable, durable, useful, decorative, and, of course, it may be repurposed. I was very excited to see the new bedding you are offering is denim. There are so many useful tips in your magazine, interesting stories, cool pictures, craft ideas, and delicious recipes. Thank you for producing such a beneficial magazine.

I don’t remember where I first discovered Mary Jane’s Farm but I was hooked. I’ve read every issue for about 15 years and get excited when it shows up in my mailbox. I always learn something and enjoy trying new things.
