About US

The Small Farmer’s Journal is a highly acclaimed, award winning international agrarian quarterly. It was established in 1976 by Lynn Miller. It currently goes out to 72 countries worldwide, as well as all of the U.S. states and Canadian provinces.

The Small Farmer’s Journal Inc. is an Oregon based family-held corporation doing business in publishing and agriculture.

The Small Farmer’s Journal has steadfastly held that the most important, useful and vital component of all agriculture is the independent family farm, that operation which is held close for comfort, care and fertility; that operation which is held dear, near and tightly as it is truly part of the family.

More like a community odyssey than a periodical, Small Farmer’s Journal’s large, beautiful format is packed to over-full with more information than you might find in three or four conventional magazines. Supported 100% by its readership, this folksy and feisty publication, a true clarion of free speech in the best old sense of the phrase, is a vibrant and exciting platform for engaging far-flung ideas about anything pertinent to the small family farm experience. Livestock, Crops, Barns, Farming Systems, Equipment, Recipes, Kids pages, Marketing, Poetry, Stories, and Political Updates; IT’S ALL THERE!
