Taproot
Inspiration for Makers, Doers and Dreamers
Bi-Monthly
US
This cozy magazine published out of Maine is filled with crafting, homesteading ideas and personal stories. Each themed issue is divided into three sections - Head, Hands and Heart. Within, you find explorations on life and home, family and nature, crafting and creating. You might learn how to tap a maple tree for syrup, or discover a knitting pattern, or a fruit-infused shrub recipe, or learn how to weave a rag rug. Stories might be of people’s encounters with their neighbors across the field and fence, or the personal struggles building a house or farm, or of sharing a project that takes many hands to complete. A nice size, with earthy colors, and packed with art, projects and love, this is one to relish, keep and share. Kids as well as adults will love it!
Dear Fans of Taproot: I am sorry to say that Issue 59, Stitch, was that last issue to be published. I have carried Taproot since the opening of The CIty Reader, and it has been a favorite of both my customers, and myself. It will be deeply missed!
