RUN – don't walk! LOL – drive if you must to your nearest TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY
store to get the latest FREE issue of their wonderful magazine titled: OUT HERE
Wonderful story and pictures about the WALTONS, and the 1970 TV Show based on a true life Depression-era family in Schuyler, VA.
AND great recipes too. HEARTY CHICKEN POT PIE looks yummy! 
ENJOY!

I'm that way too with my paint mags afraid I'll miss something and if I don't subscribe I end up buying at the store and paying more in the long run. I just try to stay away from any new ones like the Hobby Farm Home I just discovered. I have boxes of the paint mags can't part with them. I do like to go back thru them looking for certain things.

You may check your local library. Ours lets you check out magazines and they have alot.
Amanda this didn't sink in the first time I read it but I saw an article in a magazine I wanted to read and remembered this post and then I remembered that I use to read magazines at the library back when I would take my son to do research for school. Thanks for jogging my memory. I'll have to stop by the library and see about that article.

OMG GeorgiaZ…that is me to a T!
I have 500 quilt magazines that were Mama's. She must have every single quilt magazine from the last 50 years…they were all in piles on top of her dining room table. She wanted them to be at her finger tips…LOL When I brought all of them home I sat for days just going through them and of course found hundreds of patterns I want to make! I put the magazines I wanted to keep in one pile, the ones to give away in another pile. After going through them all…I just sat and cried!!! I could NOT give away that last part of Mama…I just could not! So, my hubby David(God love him) took pity on me and cleaned a spot out in our closet for Mama's magazines. All 500 of them. I feel so excited about all the projects ahead for many years to come!!!
And…I loved her Fons & Porter quilt magazines so much that STUPID me just took out a subscription for 3 years with them!!! 500 magazines just were not enough!

I don't know if this is the place to post this but I just have to recommend the Nov/Dec issue of Grit magazine. It had articles on:
Top-Bar beekeeping…Cheese making…Growing sweet potatoes…A homemade cheese press….
I never knew that sweet potatoes get sweeter and better flavored after they have aged a few weeks. The article said a newly dug sweet potato doesn't have much flavor. Learn something new everyday!
Pick up a copy of Grit maybe you will learn something new too!

Grit I don't think I can get that magazine in Canada…darn.
Sweet potatoes..I SOOOO want to grow them next year, I heard we can grow
them as far North as where I live…so I sure want to give it a try
I have read a few issues of MJF, to be honest I'm a bit dissapointed in that magazine, IF she gives a recipe, it is always with one of her mixes..wich means I have to order from her first to be able to make her recipies…and I don't like that.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right Flatlander about the mixes that they promote in the magazine-I don't like that also. I cook mostly from scratch and try to utilize what I've grown or have in my pantry!

Hey Flatlander
My husband picked up a copy of Grit in our local CO-OP grochery store.
My husband and I both love Harrowsmith, and Mother Earth News. They both have so much great information and ideas.

Mother Earth News is by far my favorite, then Organic Gardening, which has a recently new lay-out that I love. Better than ever. Also Green Prints, which is about gardners rather than gardening. Recently I picked up a copy of Urban Farm and I enjoyed that. I might subscribe, they offer it now.

You can get a free Grit newsletter every week by signing up at their website, which appears to have most of what is in the magazine.

DH enjoys a magazine called Farm Show. It covers best and worst buys on tractors, chain saws, trucks, etc. It's mainly about farm equipment and tools people have built in their home shops, not really a CITR magazine but it is not very well known and I thought a few people might find it of interest. We also enjoy Backwoods Home and if you live in West Virginia you can sign up for a free Newsletter from the Agriculture Dept that is sent out once a month. The Newsletter is ag news and farms, livestock hay etc for sale. I don't know if other States have something similar as you muist be a WV landowner to get this publication. Hope everyone has had a truly happy Thanksgiving

Here's a link for the WV Market Bulletin. Since they went electronic with it, I don't think you have to be in WV or a landowner to get the 'electronic subscription' to the newsletter. Just sign up via email and they send an email with a link to the current issue as it comes out. It's worth getting even if you just check out the recipes!
There are also really good classified ads in there including heirloom seed.
And a few months back, SUZANNE was mentioned in Commissioner Douglass's editorial!

Just a note on saving magazines….I subscribe to a handful, and hubby does too. I tear out projects and craft ideas, and store them in notebooks… and then recycle the magazines to others. Gets the clutter out of my house, gives me more projects than I can ever complete, and makes someone else happy for free.

Just got the Jan/Feb issue of Hobby Farm Home . Lots of good info on Yogurt making and using pressure cookers. Several good recipes too. I am really liking this magazine (ordered it fron grandson when he was doing a fundraiser for his school.)

Magazines are not quite so essential this month as the seed catalogs have started to arrive, for me these are the real wish books. On the recycling, our local library has a rack in their lobby, you may deposit the magazines you no longer want there. If there is anything you fancy you just take it. Works well and folks get to look at Magazines that perhaps they wouldn't have heard of otherwise.
