Book Ideas
MaryJane's Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook - For the Farmgirl in All of Us is now in its third printing. MaryJane's Stitching Room was published in May 2007, and MaryJane's Outpost hit bookstores in 2008. Our plan is to publish "workbooks" for each of the chapters in the Ideabook: Each Other, Farm Kitchen, Garden Gate, Stitching Room, Make It Easy, Outpost, and Cleaning Up. We would love to hear what you want to see in upcoming books. Also, what is it about MaryJanesFarm that first caught your attention and brought you to us in the first place? What would keep you coming back for more? Post your comments and ideas here.

| Farmgirl Jubilee Annual Celebration |
|
|
1. Dream it! Make it! Bake it! Shake it!
Claim your Jubilee specialty: "I'm going to run an apron up my flagpole" ... "deliver fresh-baked bread to my neighbors" ... "cook all my meals outdoors" ... "dance barefoot in my garden" ... Here's where we brainstorm (barnstorm?) ideas for celebrating Farmgirl Jubilee. No matter where we be, how many we are, whether online or in person, what'll it be for YOUR Jubilee? |

Farmgirl Blog Roll Call
Here's a handy-dandy "address book" for all your blogs, Etsy sites, websites, etc. - an alphabetical list (by user name) of member sites. You won't be able to post to this category, because we don't want you to have to scroll through pages and pages of entries. For that reason, we'll manage the list here at the farm. To get your site listed or to update your listing, simply send an e-mail to blogsites@maryjanesfarm.org

Farmgirl Chapter Henhouses
Here's where official members of the Farmgirl Sisterhood have set up "henkeeping" in our online "Henhouses." Our Henhouses give chapter members a place to meet online to chat; post photos; and share instructions, tutorials, and more just for their own chapter. Each Henhouse has a "Bulletin Board," where a designated "Hen Honcho" for that chapter posts chapter announcements and events. Even if you aren't a member, you can view these sites (go directly to the discussions without trying to type in a password at the top), but only official Farmgirl Sisterhood members will have access to post in their chapter's cyber Henhouse.
