Well, you're almost right. I am the owner of Farm & Garden Services. We were never affiliated with Harrowsmith Country Life. We loved the magazine and were sad to learn it had ceased publication in the US. It is, however, still in publication in Canada. Which is why we stopped using the name Harrowsmith - it was still trademarked.

Farm & Garden Services continues to change as I see different needs. We've recently thrown out our previous website in favor of a new one. The new format provides news headlines from around the world on the topic of sustainable/organic agriculture. But this is just the start.

It is my intent for Farm & Garden Services to fill in the much needed gap of a centralized online resource for anyone seeking information/skills/recipes/jobs/etc... in an agrarian community/lifestyle. Naturally this lends itself to those living in the country but not necessarily farmers.

Envision if you will a cross between Organic Gardening, Harrowsmith Country Life, and US Extension Service and you'll get an idea of where we're headed. Of course I have to find a way to make the concept pay for itself but.... ;)

It is also my vision to provide a resource for exchanging information between web-based resources. Articles, links, classifieds, and job listings can and should be exchanged dynamically. There is much work to be done.

Feel free to drop me a note if I can be of more help. I hope this clears up the mystery of Harrowsmith and Farm & Garden Services.
