Modern Farmer is a quarterly American magazine devoted to agriculture and food, founded in April 2013.[1][2] The magazine is unique in that it attempts to have equally rural and urban readers,[3] and to "appeal to the person who wants to romanticize farming and the person who is knee deep in turkey droppings", according to The New York Times.[2] In 2014, the publication won the National Magazine Awards for the Magazine Section.[4]

Modern Farmer covers feature livestock and its articles include those like a series of interviews with agriculture ministers from around the globe.

History

Based in

Germantown, New York.[8]
After developing a set of stories for the fictional character, she decided to create a real magazine.

In early 2015, the magazine's founder and much of its editorial staff departed the publication, with print publication suspended.[1][11] The paper's owner said in a statement that it planned to return for a summer issue in 2015.[12] Despite fiscal difficulties, the magazine temporarily returned in 2015, in part due to Frank Giustra's continued support for the project. In 2018, the magazine went online-only.[13]
