MaryJane Butters developed and runs an organic farm on a mountainside in Idaho that is as much about cooking organic foods creatively as it is about crops. There are many ways to enjoy the MaryJanesFarm experience:
Check out MaryJane’s recently released Ideabook Cookbook Lifebook ($35; Clarkson Potter) for organic recipes, directions for building your own wall tent, stories of her life, crafts, camping pointers, and more. She wrote the book and took most of the photos herself.
Pick up MaryJanesFarm Magazine, which comes out twice a year and is available nationally. It's filled with anecdotes, recipes, sewing projects, stories, and organic farming advice. Plus, it serves as a catalog for her line of MaryJanesFarm Organic quick-prep foods and mixes and other items she sells.
Plan a stay at the farm. MaryJane runs an outdoorsy Idaho bed-and-breakfast, offering nights in her wall tents and dining on Shirred Eggs Florentine around the campfire. She also manages her PayDirt Farm School, which is an apprentice program. For more information, see the www.maryjanesfarm.org Web site. |
