Dear MaryJane ...

I received my second issue of MaryJanesFarm magazine, and my sourdough “mother” is already on the counter rising up! My property is ¼ acre in Connecticut. I cannot grow anything in the back yard, as it is shaded by a neighbor’s 100' swamp maple. But the remaining three sides of the house contain dwarf and semi-dwarf peach, plum, and cherry trees; apple trees; pear trees; blueberries; kiwi; paw-paws; strawberries; goji berries; vegetables; and many flowers. And yes—all of these plants are growing organically in not so big of a space! My son and I are pretty much raw foodists, with a few organic exceptions. He is 27 years old and autistic. Since we went organic and mostly raw only two short years ago, his condition has improved so much it is unbelievable!!! I was searching for an organic, raw magazine, and came across MaryJanesFarm. I thought I would try it for a year. The homemade bread recipes are worth the subscription alone! What a thrill to make REAL LIVE bread!! It is obvious that MaryJane has a real zest for life. This comes across in her magazine. It makes everyone who reads it excited as well, I am sure. Thank you so much!

I’ve backpacked and climbed for over 30 years and have used a lot of different camp foods over that time. I’ve tried about all of the freeze-dried foods, freezer bag dinners, and my own concoctions, but now I use MaryJane’s food almost exclusively. The food is delicious, the packaging great for solo hikers, and of course, it’s organic! All I can say is “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

I just had to e-mail you and tell you how enjoyable everything MaryJane has been for me. I retired much sooner than I had anticipated in order to help my disabled husband with his day-to-day care. For the most part, I need to be home with him, but I feel like I am traveling and getting out every day because your chatroom has given me an online friend—an awesome friend, I might add. My heartfelt thanks for a fantastic resource and forum. You touch many lives, create many smiles, and make us be the best we can be with the help and encouragement of many wonderful women. My hat is off to you!

I’m a new fan who received two of your books as a gift. Thank you for capturing the wisdom of my “farmgirl” grandmother in book form! Your advice and beautiful photography have brought back so many wonderful memories.

Just wanted to let you know that I received my box of “goodies” (aka back issues) last Saturday and have not put them down yet! Even brought them to work with me today. Just holding them reduces my stress levels!
