I've been subscribing to MJF for almost 6 months now. I love it; it speaks to my heart. I live in Grand Rapids, MI and do a lot of my own gardening on a city plot, can as much food as possible, bake my own bread and am learning to knit. I am a full time high school English teacher who tries to balance a busy career and a "farmgirl" lifestyle.
I welcome any online or in the GR area friendships with like minded women. I feel alone and kind of odd at times, and having some sisters to chat with would be nice. |

Hi Shelly,
I am new too. I have been to Grand Rapids. My daughter showed rabbits at a national convention there in 2007.

Hi Shelly,
Welcome from MN. I believe being a farmgirl is a state of mind, not of geography. Glad to have you here.

Hey Shelley :D We are just South of you by about an hour and I'm in the GR area twice a week (at GVSU). We lived in GR a couple of times, on the NE side by the farmers' market and on the NW side (leonard/oakleigh). If you haven't been to Fulton St farmers' mkt you should go, there are some great folks over there. Welcome to the board!

Welcome, Shelley! I spent my first thanksgiving away from home (while at school at Interlochen Arts Academy) with my roomate and her family in Grand Rapids. Neat old town! I still have the dress I bought at some antique store there (a "vintage" 70's era Gunne Sax :)).
This is a wonderful site where you can connect with women (and hopefully kindred spirits) from all over. So glad you're here!

Hi Shelley and welcome! I'm not from Grand Rapids but I've been there often. I have an aunt and uncle who live there. I'm learning how to knit as well but right now I can't decide what I like better; knitting or crocheting... |
