Home Town Farmgirl Connections

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one”
Do you have a flock of farmgirl friends to call your own? The kind of friends who “get “ why you LOVE the things you do SO MUCH. I know many of you do, but just in case you find yourself in a new town, city or neighborhood yearning to connect with new farmgirl friends or expand your circle of golden old ones, I’ll share with you how I recently gathered a “flock of farmgirl friends” for my Home Town Farmgirl Chapter!

    I miss the chapter I was with in OR. My move here has yet to produce a chapter. I so long for the kinship of farmgirls. Once I get into the routine of a new job, I am going to try to muster up some girls so we can have jam parties and eat organic bean dip!

    Julia,It might take time, but it’ll happen for sure! HE will send you some farmgirl friends! I just know it! Thanks for reading 🙂 ~ Deb

    What a PERFECT recipe for others to follow!! You’ve inspired me ALL OVER AGAIN and my little flock is already together :o)

    It is so worth the effort to round up a herdlet of farmgirl’s! They’ve enriched my life as much as a big ole pile of aged manure. Now, if you’re a farmgirl you’ll TOTALLY get that! :o)

    Hi-5 and a bum-bump to my beachy farmgirl sister. Great outline and fab photos.

    Thanks Shery! Hi-5 and a bum- bump right back atcha! Yepper’s, love that aged manure, or in my case chicken poop! Can I say that here??? LOL  Deb

    I am like Julia, no Farmgirl Chapter here in the new area I moved too either. Pretty sure I am not the one to get it started but oh my Deb you sure make it sound like fun – it’s the commitment that has me concerned but I will pray about it and see what happens. Maybe Ms. Julia is in my area – wouldn’t that be funny.
    Thanks for the great time had here on your blog.

    Joan,   you never know where you’ll bump into a farmgirl at heart! Keep your eyes open! Thanks for reading, Deb

    Our group has been meeting together for several years. Our first few years we crafted together. We learned to knit, tat, embroider,spin wool, make raffia hats, make soap and mozzarella cheese. This year seems to be the food year. We have made Chill-overs, Bake-Overs, had a soup exchange, learned about the Nourishing Traditions food and soon we will be gathering together to share our favorite cook books.It is a pleasure to know these women and share life with them.

    You are blessed for sure! Thanks for sharing all you do! Deb

  5. I just love your ideas about creating a Farm Girl group. May I copy some of your ideas in starting a group of my own?

    Absolutley! Have fun and thanks for reading~ Deb

    Hi there,
    I may have written before but don’t believe I ever heard back. My hubby is a pastor and I have homeschooled in Massachusetts for 23 years.
    I live in a little house, love to change the decorating, with a beach theme. We love going to Rockport, Gloucester (which we go to once a month) and Seabury. I collect sea glass from Rockport, garden herbs and plants on my 3/4 acre property, am a mixed media/collage artist, tutor other students and love church activities.
    Hope to hear from you. You never know if we could meet!

    Hi Crystal, Your hobbies and art sound wonderful and you’re a veteran homeschooler to boot! Yay! If you’re ever near Plymouth, let me know! Thanks for reading,

    Deb

    Hey Debbie, Thank you for reminding me how much fun the farmgirl chapters can be. My group went on different paths, because of work and family stuff. can’t wait to get my chapter back together "The Rogue River Chicks".
    I really enjoy reading your site.
    Have a wonderfully blessed day.

    Thanks for reading JoAnn! Hope you and your flock can find time to re-unite!

    All this just melts my heart! I was a Farmgirl at heart until a few months ago when I became a Farmgirl in fact. I never would have imagine a few years ago when I first read MJ’s book that I’d be living on my own farm now and in Idaho to boot! Crazy the path life leads us on when we step out in faith.
    Sadly, there is not a chapter here in my little town. I’d like to start one, but haven’t met anyone yet who seems to get it. But I’ll keep on trying.
    Until then, I’ll raise my family, restore my farmhouse, milk my goat and chase my chickens. And keep an eye out for other Farmgirls…

     

    Congratulations! I’d say you are on the right track… I have not doubt there will be some new farmgirl friends comin’ round soon! Keep the faith!

    Blessings, Deb
