Hey there farmgals! I have registered my new business as Farmgirl Products USA and wondering if any one of you want to be featured on my site. I decided upon this idea because I found there was really nothing out there that was specific to the farmgirl and her wears....except for etsy but you have to navigate through a thousand people to get to what you want. There are also a few others that have listed farmgirls...but I intend on featuring x-amount of farmgirls according to state, being very organized about it and really driving home the Made In The USA concept along with each farmgirls unique story to make it authentic. It will be just another way to sell your product...but very comprehensive and unified. Tell me what you think! I will be designing the website this next month and doing tons of work around getting the right vendors to join. Also, if any of you are certified to sell food products or know of a farmgirl that does....let me know...I would really love to see farmgirl yummies included. By the way...I am a farmgirl at heart and have such a passion for anything homemade with love...I am excited to share as many products as possible that come from the hardworking hands of women all over this great country and feel buying local and within our country is super important these days. I plan on doing a grandeous job of getting the word out! I am also a co-lead to the NOrthern Oregon Farmgirls as of four months ago...dont know what the heck I am doing yet!...but I have the fever of the farmgirl!
God Bless You! |

What a neat idea, Patti! I'm a huge fan of made in the USA goods. I'm an American artisan and would enjoy having more details on being featured on your site. Feel free to email me! Thank you!

Hey, Patti Ann, what a great idea! I know that I will shop there. I may even be interested in joining, but right now I can barely keep up with the demand for my goods. I make crocheted sun hats out of recycled cotton and rafia and sell them in a local Co-op. I also am licensed to make and sell all natural dog treats and sell them in the same co-op. Thanks for getting this going. I know it is a lot of hard work.

You are both very, very welcome! Jenny...your jellies were incredible like I said....we gobbled them up on crackers, peanut butter n jelly sandwiches and just by the spoon full. And, Channah, you are so darn sweet and likeable...I have loved chatting with you online and ordering from you as well...cant wait to get my rags to show off!
Janet...its so good to hear us farmgirls thinkin alike...I feel I want to put my heart into this. All of us deserve a break where we can get it and hopefully I can make a difference and put some money in farmgirl pockets everywhere. I will let you know about needing help in the very near future as this thing is going to take off with high hopes!
God Bless You! |

Hi Patty Ann,
I would also like to be included. I have not even attempted to sell anything on the etsy because of the mass numbers. I found it very difficult to navigate my way around. Do you need us to send you a sort of bio or any info now? Please keep me updated.

Hi Patti,
I want to say that this is an answer to a pray. I've needed help for so long getting the word out about my work and with patience and faith I'm seeing it become a reality.
I would love to be involved in this. It is simular to my Sunshine Farmgirl Co-op idea. I have been trying to do affiliate marketing to get the word out about my handiwork and my families too.
I am so glad you can do this for us.
I am willing to pay a membership fee for your website and all the work that will go into making this work.

| Patti this sounds wonderful. I am just starting to make baby items,and stuffed toys. Would that be something you'd be interested in? Also I do several other things, knitting and items for scrapbooking and sewing. I'd love to be a part of this. Thank you for setting this up for all of us. Blessings, Brenda |

Michele...your ambition is marvelous and shows in your products...my favorites are the purple shawl and hat with yoyo attached. I would sport those in a heartbeat!
Brenda...adorable childrens items always pull at the heartstrings...and knitting, sewing and scrapbooking fits you right into farmgirl faire!
I will be getting a bunch of old red barn wood tomorrow for my Farmgirl Products USA sign for my stand which will make it extra cool....and whatever else we can pick up for the new barn we are building in late spring. I tried to get some of the barnwood from the barn I grew up with but when the house was sold last year the new owners rented it right away and moved to california...it was disappointing because my German grandpa lived in that barn and it was such a huge part of my sisters and me growing up. I have some happy memories, though and get to make some more in my own barn with my dear, sweet children....after they clean it up daily!heeheehee!
God Bless You! |

I'd love to be a part of this. Here's a link to a post I made about my cross necklaces. It has a picture, too.

I can make/sew plenty of other things, too. I also knit and crochet. Thank you for your efforts! |

Hi, everyone! I think I am a bit confused. I read all the posts and thought this was an online shop you were setting up, is that correct? I see that you are setting up a stand at your home does that mean we are to send you our items? Not sure what you had in mind. My friend Sharon (bobbinrobin) and I are interested in this, please clarify what you are actually doing and how much would this cost per month and will you have paypal?
