What Our Readers Say
★★★★★
“I read lots of magazines for an hour every morning while drinking my morning coffee. I judge them all by the amount of time their on the table. Some last a day, other two or three days. I got my first Backwoodhome about a month ago............it's still on the table.”
★★★★★
“Oh my! I have received my first issue and read it from cover to cover. There is so much information within the pages of this magazine. There was a special section on Elderberries. I'm going to try the recipes since we have many Elderberries that grow wild. This is the type of magazine you save for years as a reference. For anyone on the fence about ordering, DO IT!”
★★★★★
“Been a subscriber for probably close to 20 years now. It's the ONLY magazine that I still pay to get. When I first subscribed, I could only dream of having my own "Backwoods Home". Six years ago, that dream became a reality!”
★★★★★
“This magazine makes my heart smile. I look forward to receiving it in the mail! I’m a millennial - new to the homesteading and DIY world. The content is very helpful and the pictures and photos are so wholesome. So different than mainstream magazines. I will continue to subscribe.”
★★★★★
“I have been receiving this for almost a year and a half now and every issue catches my interest immediately. My adult son has occasionally brought it in from the mailbox and I have to wait to get a look at it. Very impressed with the quality of the content, the ease of reading, and a magazine without massive advertising interrupting my enjoyment of the content. Down to earth refreshing content.”
★★★★★
“I am 80 years old and was born and raised in farming country of the twin tiers of NY and PA north of Wellsboro PA. So I learned a lot while growing up BUT wow is Backwoods Home Magazine an awesome teacher. I guess I didn't learn all I thought I did.”
★★★★★
“Just got my first issue a little while ago and I am SO THRILLED! The information is fantastic and covers several topics, the issue is bigger than I pictured and I am totally happy and looking forward to each one! Thank you!”
★★★★★
“This periodical is definitely worth the money. We have retired and moved from a suburban area in a smaller town to a very rural area. There have been so may tips which have saved us money and time! I look forward to each edition.”
★★★★★
“I am really enjoying the articles inside. I am not a homesteader, but am a country girl who loves doing things like my grandparents did: cooking, canning, gardening, etc. I hope to broaden my skills by using what I'm learning in the magazine. I'm looking forward to my next issue!”
★★★★★
“I gave a gift subscription to a neighbor, a young fellow starting on his homestead journey with goats and sheep. He and his family love it! I’ve given many gift subscriptions over the years (since 2005) and will continue to do so! Thanks for such a great publication. As Always, Fran Kennedy Bundy of Crockett’s Cove, Virginia”
★★★★★
“Auto-renew is the way to go. I never want to miss an issue of this magazine! The writers and content are top notch. I have been reading this for over 20 years now and have every single anthology. BHM is still THE magazine for all things self-reliance and homesteading”
★★★★★
“I have been a subscriber for a very long time and still am thrilled to find Backwoods Home Magazine in my mailbox. Every issue has something new and interesting in it. The regular contributors seem like old friends. Thank you for not selling out to big business - we love you just as you are.”
