 Mary Jane Butters also announced that the second issue of her

her booth at the Moscow Farmers Market.  The issue focuses on her
organic camp foods.
 Five thousand copies of the first issue of MaryJanesFarm were printed

issue, 25,000 copies were printed.  They are being sold nationwide in 45
stores, through subscriptions, and through the website,

 At the MaryJanesFarm booth at the Moscow Farmers Market, a unique new
food, the garlic scape, was celebrated with the first annual
ScapeScapade on Saturday, July 6.  A green pesto-like sauce made by Mary
Jane Butters from scapes, the curling garlic flowerstalks, was available
for taste-testing at the celebration.  More than 400 of the samples, as
well as brochures and membership forms for the new Scape Society, were
distributed.
 Garlic scape pesto is still available at the MaryJanesFarm booth at the
Farmers Market or through orders at 882-6819.
