The Farmhouse Movement

A magazine done differently!

I came across The Farmhouse Movement Magazine while visiting my boyfriend's hometown (the amount of times I listened to Tori Kelly's "Take Back Home Girl" to get me prepared!) He lived in the cutest small town in Texas, complete with a downtown with smiling faces next to a train station. While he was showing me around his adorable small town and we decided to go in the local antique shop (I LOVE antique shops!). It was here that I found a cute denim dress, and a magazine that caught my eye. I was so excited to read what was inside, which I took advantage of the flight home to do so. I absolutely loved the design of the cover, that even today the issue I bought in Texas is sitting on my dresser as decoration in my home in Pennsylvania.

The Farmhouse Movement is a magazine that is done differently. Created by Jordan Schrandt

from her own personal desire for a more natural, simple, and intentional life. "Living a life full of healthy ingredients, healthy relationships and a healthy view on a balanced life is what The Farmhouse Movement is all about".

The Movement Explained:

-From The Farmhouse Movement website

"We believe there is a movement happening in our generation. That many of us are drawn to the concepts, beauty, simplicity, and personality of a well-loved place from yesteryear… a place we call: the farmhouse. A place that is less about the farm, and more about the house.

We believe it’s the epitome of days gone by and the expectation of what lies ahead. That within its walls, the farmhouse represents a foundation of our culture and a freeing of our hearts.

We believe that this back-to-our-roots movement embodies families moving towards sustainable options. That whether we live in big cities or wide open prairies, we are embracing natural products, mindfully made things, the renaissance of lost arts and skills, and loving + leading our homes intentionally. We are asking for down-to-earth honesty about the items and influences we bring into our lives.

We believe that we are coming full circle. That we desire a more authentic lifestyle, similar to those lived out in the households of quieter times – where family values prevailed; ingredients were simple; mason jars, quilts and shiplap were commonplace; neighbors were friends; and where time well spent trumped task lists.

We believe this is a movement towards happier homes and healthier families and we are honored and humbled to be unfolding this story for our generation!"

The reason I absolutely love this magazine is because of their sense of community and beliefs. They state that we, the readers, are the movement. This magazine is a collection of many voices who contribute to the magazine. Their beliefs of a natural, authentic, back to basics lifestyle is intriguing to me. The idea of re-traditionalization to the small town farmhouse movement is like a dream!
