Grit Magazine

I bought one of these on a whim the other day. I have since read it from cover to cover and plan to read it again. It is a great resource for those that want to live a more sustainable, rural way of life compared to the high-maintenance lifestyles portrayed in other magazines. I am seriously considering subscriptions to this and Mother Earth News. Grit is a bimonthly periodical and runs a bit steep (twenty bucks) for six issues. I still think it is worth it. The articles are well-written and the photography, while fantastic, is not full of artistic pretension. Overall, it gets two dirt-covered thumbs up.
