5.0 out of 5 stars Over Priced, September 14, 2010

For anyone who reads these reviews, If you want this magazine, please go order it off of the Mother Earth News website. It is only $10.00 a year on their website. I know because I just purchased a subscription on their website. Why would you pay $14.95 when you can get it for $10.00??

4.0 out of 5 stars "lost its compost" for a while but slowly getting back to nature, July 29, 2005

Somehow, the Mother became more like something else... Sunset? I dunno, but it really lost its way from the down-to-earth, get-down-in-the-dirt, raise-chickens-in-your-backyard-&-fertilize-with-the-rest viewpoint.

I miss the newsprint, non-glossy paper, the substantive articles for people who really are living off the land, not cruising over it in SUV's and entertaining themselves with dreams of organic lavender.

That said, it seems to be coming around the corner to its old self again, but it's a long, slow, return I think. I am heartened by the direction it is taking, and subscribe once more to hope it'll keep going that way. I mean, just the glossy paper alone makes it suspect amongst my crew! I'll hide it when the purists come, and hope it keeps getting back to the Earth.

We like this magazine, but the cover art is really cluttery, so they all look the same & we have a hard time going back to find articles we like. It covers a lot of basic info about natural living, gardening, farming, cooking, building, etc. A good resource, although some of the topics are covered more superficially than I would prefer, and some of it seems to be wishful thinking (like an article on how to build a home for $10,000, but that requires your whole family participate & that you have engineering expertise, not to mention owning equipment that must cost a lot more than the materials). But still a good magazine.
