Simple solutions for buying less, eating better, and getting more out of life.

MaryJane’s Everyday Organic is a weekly column that delivers simple yet sophisticated advice on how to live better and enjoy life more while doing right by the environment. The American organic original, MaryJane Butters speaks to every woman who has ever fantasized about living on a farm — or bringing the healthy, safe, homegrown aspects of farm living into daily life.

MaryJane’s premise is that anybody can be a farmgirl if she really wants to. It’s not about where you live, but how you live. MaryJane’s Everyday Organic offers concrete suggestions for adding a little fresh air to our daily routines with easy-to-follow farm kitchen recipes, directions for simple homemade solutions and projects to do around the house. Plus charming photos.

“Welcome to the place where your farmgirl dreams take flight, where life is simpler, healthier, and much more playful.” — MaryJane Butters

About MaryJane

MaryJane Butters was born and raised in a self-sufficient family in Utah, growing all their own food and sewing their own clothes. After the birth of her two children, MaryJane began searching for the farm of her dreams. In 1985, she found a remote five-acre homestead at the end of a long dirt road on the suitably named Paradise Ridge just southeast of Moscow, Idaho. Eager to promote sustainable agriculture and actively support local farming, in 1993, she launched a line of organic foods now sold nationwide under the MaryJanesFarm label. The first issue of the women’s magazine MaryJanesFarm hit stores in January 2002, and it is now distributed nationwide.
