Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!
All proceeds (minus shipping and packing) will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo of the prop and its cost here along with a few details as to its condition. The first person to call the farm and talk with Brian, 208-882-6819, becomes the new owner of a little bit of herstory. Shipping will be either USPS or UPS, our choice. No returns.

Here’s a fun one for you: weed dating.
“How will I ever meet someone in this concrete jungle?” laments the lonely plantain …

Just kidding. Weed dating is not a service for unloved plants (or any other recently legalized vegetation).
It’s a newfangled way for earthy singles to meet and mingle within their comfort zone …

… the farm, of course!
“Weed dating is the gardener’s version of speed dating, where singles meet over a vegetable bed and dig together for a few minutes before moving onto the next person, some even learning about the plants they are tending,” reports NBC News.

All giggles aside, though, weed dating is turning out to be a wonderful way for people to connect in person rather than online (ick) in a wholesome environment rather than, say, a bar (double ick).
How cute is this?
And, who knows? Weed daters might just sow a match made to last!
