Carol, MaryJane, Pamela, Kim, Karen, Robin and a little farmgirl in front of MaryJane.
Outdoor sinks made by Lucas for the Kitchen in the campout area
In the view you can see the top of the granary where the Farm is located at the end of Wild Iris Lane
The farm girl campout area in the daytime.
Signs were posted along the road going out to the farm.
MaryJane and Cindilou talking at the farmgirl breakfast...that was such a nice surprise.
Lucas sporting a MaryJane Farm Bag...such a nice person and joy to be around.
Farmgirls making fresh lemonade...delicious!
Breakfast was served...blueberry coffeecake, organic grapefruit jiuce and coffee. The coffee cake was brought down in vintage cake carriers, the juice in vintage coolers..they sure know how to do it!
A farm on the road to MaryJanes had some great old barns and outbuildings.
Megan manning the MaryJanes Farm booth...right next to ours.
The one thing I regret about attending farm fair is that I was sooo busy selling that I did not get to visit with anyone. Don't get me wrong I was thrilled to sell as I did, but it was like I needed to be two people, one selling and one visiting.
I wanted to say a huge Thankyou to Lucas...he did such a great job of trying to help all of and was so sweet about it.
I did attend the campout...guess where I slept...in my booth. I had brought a metal bed to sleep on, but as it turned out we used it as a table in our booth. So I just moved everything off and slept there. Well, I did not do that much sleeping. It was not too comfortable and there were noises around.
I think I must have perspired a bucketfull..oh was it warm!
Thanks for letting me share. I came home to other projects so I am just now getting to post about farm fair.

Love the pictures, great job. I don't think I saw anywhere, how many farmgirls do you think were there? Looks like you were all having a great time. Wish I could have been there.

Hey Pamela!My Name is Jaime and I was the person who was looking for Robin, But sadly she went home sick. I let you borrow my cell phone while we were all cleaning up to go home on our last day of Farm fair. I remember you were worried because you were not able to get ahold of your husband. I was very EXCITED to finnally see your here I have been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to find Robin she gave my little girl a beautiful lampshade and I would love to get in touch with her! I love your pictures, they truely captured the beauty and spirit of Farm fair..I will be waitng for your email.. until then take care and THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!~ Jaime

Pamela!! Thank you so much for sharing your pictures!! They are wonderful. I thought it was kinda cool that the picture of Lucas was right in front of our booth. I'm sorry we missed the breakfast. I'm sure you all had a great time. We were a little worn out from the heat and opted for a comfy bed and air conditioning. I know, were wimps!! haha
Thanks again!!
Blessings,
Missy

It is SO much fun to see everyone's pictures and stories from Farm Fair!!! Thanks! I really wish I could've gone up there - or that we Utah Farmgirls could have arranged some sort of carpool or something - the friendship and good times are so apparent on everyone's faces - happiness really IS one of the few true fountains of youth, isn't it? How fun!!!!!
XOXO, Libbie

Beautiful farmland out there in Idaho! I love all the vintage tablecloths and containers and everyone's smiling faces! I hope to be able to go some year. The outside bedroom is so neat. I would love to hear all the nature noises at night out there. Last night here in NH, I got to hear the loons on the lake...one of my favorite sounds for sure. My husband has always wanted to go to Idaho for a visit, now I know where we can go :)
I'd rather live my life with a "full plate" than an empty one. Life is not a rehearsal... eat up! |

Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful pictures. I was just introduced to Mary Janes Farm about 6 weeks ago and I have been so encouraged to get back to being the farm girl I really want to be.

It *IS* so nice to find a community of wonderful farmgirls, isn't it? I really felt that way when I first was introduced to MJF and the 'Connection. Welcome!!! I know you'll just love it here...
XOXO, Libbie

I was there-- it was great. the Farm Fair was wonderful. the sleep-over was wonderful. MaryJane bringing breakfast was--what can I say--wonderful. I really enjoyed myself as I stayed in the background and just ENJOYED myself. MB. PS. there are lots more pictures out there. MaryJane posted a bunch too, somebody did anyway. I'll be there in 2008. It is about 7 hrs. from my house. MB

Kay and I posted photos. Looking at these again bring back such precious memories. I slept in the plum pit outside with the coyotes howling and the cow in heat wailing in my ears...it was great. There is an incredible peace about the farm. It comes from MJ herself. We are so lucky to be a part of her world.
Farmgirl hug,
