...Love at first sight!
This is a true story. I was in a bookstore looking in the "Antique Price Guide" section when I came across THIS book! Now whether it was MISHELVED, MISPLACED or someone had stashed it there.. to come back later and buy.. I WAS SOOO GLAD IT WAS THERE! I spent the next 4 1/2 hours (!!) reading this one-of-a kind gem! I never met anyone quite like this author. BUT I sure would like to! She ...

Love It!
I ordered this book for myself and after I received it, I ordered several more to give to friends and family for Christmas. I absolutely love this book. It is inspiring and beautifully done. I love the stories and quotes and can't wait to get started on some of the projects inside. Maybe with all my friends having a copy we can start a project group and work on some of these things together. They ...

facinating and inspiring
I could hardly put this book down. It reminded me of growing up on our southern Idaho farm during the 1950s, and brought back so many fond and cherished memories. I also found it inspiring, especially in this time of economic crises. The old ways of being self sufficient are more time consuming but so much less expensive. But, I have found the satisfaction of 'doing it myself' very ...

Old is new again.
Comprehensive work detailing many aspects of farming in the early 20th century. Reading it you find many of the same methods and techniques suggested in todays "sustainable agriculture" writings. For either a historical perspective or a practioner's this book is worth the money.

Traditional Amarican Farming Techniques, 2nd
Wow what a mammoth with over 1000 pages with very little information in it. This book has so many categories that it doesn't have much information on any 1 thing. I was so excited to get this book I was hoping that it would have information on how to build different things needed around the farm and how to care for animals yet when I started reading it I found the information lacking for my ...

Beautiful! Simple organic living at it's best...
Common sense and farmgirl style combine in Mary Jane's beautiful book. The magnets have the most lovely pictures of the farm (gorgeous photos are possibly the best part of any book from the farm) and the book is jam packed with lovely recipes, great ideas for home and personal style. My favorite part are the quote magnets!!! This would make a great introduction to farmgirl living or a sweet ...

Beautiful Cards from a Sensational Farm Chick
MaryJane Butters is an enigma. While everyone was following domestic diva Martha Stewart, Butters was making her own mark by taking her following back to simpler times. She bought a five acre farm and proceeded to grow organic produce and turn it into dried organic meals you could take anywhere. She created an ad free magazine catalog so she could sell her products and provide an outlet of ...

farmgirl
I purchased this journal as a thank you gift for my sister-in-law who is a true Wisconsin farmgirl. She loves it and intends to give a copy to several of her friends. (I am going to purchase one for myself.) It has wonderful words of advice, wisdom and a cute farmgirl cover.
