Branching Out (magazine)

Branching Out was a short-lived magazine published in the early 1980s, specifically aimed at rural women. It focused on topics such as homesteading, small-scale farming, crafts, self-sufficiency, and community building. The magazine sought to provide practical advice and inspiration for women living outside of urban centers, often highlighting the challenges and rewards of rural life. While not a widely known publication, Branching Out is remembered for its niche appeal and its contribution to the literature on alternative lifestyles and women's roles in agriculture. Its circulation was limited, and publication eventually ceased due to financial constraints. Back issues are now considered collectibles, offering a glimpse into the interests and concerns of rural women during that period.
