Let's make a FarmFolk community!

I loved MaryJane's Farm magazine the first time I saw it. My grandmother had a vegetable garden all my growing up years in McKinney, Texas. She canned fruit and vegetables, crocheted, knitted, and sewed stuffed animals for my sister, Tara, and I, throughout our childhoods.

My mother was a talented cross-stitcher and seamstress, who passed away from cancer too-young in January of 2009.on

I would love to to pass on the home skills these women possessed. I can sew and cross-stitch at an advanced level, and knit and do some other needlework at a beginning level.

I can share what I know, and would love to learn canning, crochet, and baking from experts in the North Texas area.

I also love technology. I am willing to maintain a "virtual" meeting place for the FarmGirls who we bond with from far away.

I would love to see a FarmGirls group that is multi-national, sharing our local FarmGirl skill through online video.

Let's give it a go!!!

North Texas FarmGirls

I want to start a FarmGirls chapter in the North Texas. I have just moved into a 50 year old home in central Arlington. I want to have a vegetable garden in the fall.

If you love old things, collecting, reading, knitting, cross-stitch and/or needlework, home cooking, canning (something I want to learn!), community service, family, tradition, and the ideaology of Mary Jane's Farm sisters, email me.

I am taking on the role of organizing a FarmGirls group. Our name and activities will ultimately be determined by our members. (Official Mary Jane's Farm sisterhood is optional to participate in this group.)
