If you're on my email list, you might have taken part in a poll recently --- which homesteading-related magazines do you like to read? I thought our wider audience might enjoy the results:

1. Mother Earth News won by a landslide, with 79% of our readers frequently checking out this well-known magazine.

2. Hobby Farms and Backwoods Home tied for second place. Interestingly, only two readers subscribed to both of these runners-up --- I suspect you're either a hobby farmer or a backwoods farmer, and never the twain shall meet. (I'll bet you can guess which camp I'd fall into.)

3. Grit came in a close third.

Other magazines enjoyed by at least two of my readers include: Molly Green, Backwoodsman, Countryside, Backyard Poultry (one of my personal favorites), Back Home, Small Farmer's Journal, Organic Life, Permaculture International, and Taproot.
