Alternatives to New Farm
I am sorry to hear that NEW FARM will cease publication. The Rodale
people have been important innovators in organic and sustainable
agriculture and this magazine provides news about the latest happenings.
However, there are many newsletters, newspapers and magazines that
provide some of the same information. You may have to join the
organizations to get these publications or you can subscribe to some of
the magazines.
Here is a sampling of some items that may be of interest
.Natural Food and Farming (Atlanta, Texas)
.Annals of Earth (Falmouth, Massachusetts)
.Buzzworm, The Environmental Journal (Boulder, Colorado)
.Environmental Action (Takoma Park, Maryland)
.In Context: A Quarterly of Humane Sustainable Culture (Bainbridge
Island, Washington)
.Permaculture Activist (Primm Springs, Tennessee)
.Harrowsmith Country Life (Charlotte, Vermont)
.Prairie Journal (Des Moines, Iowa)
.Small Farm Today (Clark, Mississippi)
.Earth Ethics (Washington, DC)
.Acres USA (Kansas City, Missouri)
.Biodynamic News and Events (Kimberton, Pennsylvania)
.Health Harvest News (Washington, DC)
.The Land Stewardship Letter (Marine, Minnesota)
.Organic Food Matters: The Journal of Sustainable Agric. (Colfax, CA)
.Natural Farmer (Barre, Massachusetts)
.In Good Tilth (Corvallis, Oregon)
.Sustainable Farming Quarterly (Helena, Montana)
.Sustainable Farming News (Whiting, News)
.Earth Save (Santa Cruz, California)
.Land Letter (Arlington, Virginia)
.Remineralize the Earth (Northampton, Massachusetts)
.Living Off The Land (Melbourne, Florida)
.IPM Practitioner (Berkeley, California)
.The Beginning Farmer (Hartington, Nebraska)
.Agrarian Advocate (Davis, California)
.Back Home (Hendersonville, North California)
and lots more that provide information on organic and sustainable
agriculture and extra features such as news items, book reviews, helpful
hints, etc.
They may not replace NEW FARM entirely but obviously the Rodale People
are right in their concern that the information is widely available in
other sources.
