Didn't see anyone post about this, so...Just found out about this magazine, due out in the fall, based out of Kentucky, Called FOLK magazine. It looks like it is right up our farmgirl alley. I am really excited about it!!! You can even get a subscription now. Go take a peek!

It looks like their mail service is having problems. What a bummer!

Yes the editor Ben Ashby is only 21 YEARS OLD!!!!! Quite an amazing feat to accomplish at such a young age. I really do love the fact that they are all about stepping back to the way things used to be and just living simpler. I think that is what impresses me the most and gives me hope for the future- that someone so young has the right attitude about what is truly important. He seems wise beyond his years. I am looking forward to the Christmas issue as well.

Wow! I didn't realize the editor was that young. Now I'm more impressed. I hope they make it.

I loved the first issue and can't wait for the Christmas issue to be out. I went ahead and odered a subscription,they ran a special of $24.00 for a couple of weeks.
I was just blown away that the editor is only 21 years old. I am so excited for all of them and hope the word gets out to everyone and they get the support they need to make a go of it.

I received and read my first copy - and I like it - but I wasn't as "wowed" as I thought I would be - but its very nice. You're right, Laurie, the photography is amazing. I think it will only get better with time. I'm excited that they are doing this (its very brave to start up a new magazine in this economy)- I think they're on the right track - fun ideas, and I like the way they tour different places. I am anxious to get the Christmas issue.

Got my first issue...LOVED the beautiful photographs and stories. Only downside I can see is that it seemed to have alot of advertisements (albeit NICE advertisements) for small primitive shops etc. I liked what I saw. In fact I passed it on to a fellow farmgirl already to try and spread the word. Cant wait to see what the Christmas Issue brings! I believe we paid $6.95 for the issue- that being said- I dont think I would pay that each issue- if they had a "deal" for a yearly subscription I would consider it for sure.

Anybody besides me unable to open anything on their web page? Or, I get a little square box with an "X" in it that also won't open?

Thanks for sharing about this magazine. I'm going to give them a try. This sounds like it's going to be a great magazine! I also joined their Facebook page to keep up with the magazine as it develops.
Thanks again, I would probably never heard of it otherwise!

They have a Facebook page also, where they are updating the process of the magazine. It is fun to be in on the ground floor with them.
