MaryJanes Farm

                            
 

The motto on the sign at the entrance of Paradise Farm Organics reads:

“Living like we’ll die tomorrow, farming like we’ll live forever"

The farm in question is in Idaho (the white speck in the landscape) and belongs to environmental activist and organic farmer, MaryJane Butters whose enterprises make her a pioneer of sustainability and conservation. She is the founder of a thriving environmental group, has developed a diverse array of organic products, and runs a rural enterprise once featured in the National Geographic. Additionally, MaryJane trains future organic farmers through a farm apprentice programme that includes the ‘Farmerettes’, and members network via the ‘Farmgirl Sisterhood’.  MaryJane also runs a B&B that was featured in The New York Times, designs and sells her own line of organic linens, and is the creator of Project F.A.R.M (First-class American Rural Made), an organization that supports rural women’s handicrafts.
