A month or more ago, there was a discussion about Small Farm Magazine, not a bad little magazine, for the price (free). But none of us that got it really knew how we got our subscriptions, they just started showing up in the mail--I've been getting mine for about 7 years. Anyway, my last two issues came with postcards for free 3 month subscriptions. While cleaning the bathroom--my husband's library--I found two more issues with the postcards. So I've got 11 total (one's already spoken for), and when I get a chance I'll look through my old copies and see if there's more. I assume the subscriptions, although it says for 3 months, will go on indefinately, just as mine has. So if anyone would like me to send in for their subscription, e-mail me your "Real" name and address (privately, of course) and I'll make out the postcard and get them mailed. If I get more requests than I have postcards, I'll just hold on to the names, and hopefully will continue to get 3 more postcards in each issue. If the others who already get the magazine--or start getting it thanks to the postcards, do the same, hopefully we can get everyone who wants one covered. Although we should try to co-ordinate it so there's no duplication. I guaruntee everyone who requests me to do this that I will only use their name, etc. for this. I promise! Kathie

Concerning a free subscription to Small Farm Magazine, there is no such magazine; some readers here have confused it with us, Small Farm Today magazine. The confusion appears to arise from our newer competitor, American Small Farm magazine. They print the "American" very small above "Small Farm" causing the confusion. Why do they do this? Poor marketing, or perhaps wishing the confusion with us. We asked them to desist from the use of "Small Farm" by itself in mailings, and they have complied (as far as we know). There is still confusion among readers, however. Small Farm Today is the 16-year-old how-to magazine of alternative and traditional crops, livestock, and direct marketing. Its goal is to make family farmers profitable. It is published on a farm, by a farmer. Sample issues are $4.95, and a subscription is $23.95/year (6 issues). Call 800-633-2535 to subscribe or get a sample copy or to get a brochure and list of back issues, or for more information, see www.smallfarmtoday.com. Although we are not free (being a small company), our readers are supportive, and we publish useful information for small farmers (unlike some competitors who publish information on, say, GPS or 100 Hp tractors). Hope this clarifies things. Please pass this on to anyone you know of that received the "Small Farm" e-mail. Paul Berg, Managing Editor Small Farm Today magazine smallfarm@socket.net 800-633-2535
