Fertile Ground
Next time you're in Mothersville, pick up a copy of Fertile Ground, For people Who Dig Parenting. Dreamed up and edited by Memphis and Mothersville's own Stacey Greenberg, Fertile Ground is a must read. Now in its eighth edition, this compilation zine has mama contributors from all over the US, including our hometown (and yours truly). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll know you are not alone in the mothering game. A steal at $2 an issue (and $3 for the coveted back issues).
Here's what some fancy people had to say about Fertile Ground ...
Utne Reader Nov/Dec 2003
"[Stacey] Greenberg creates a space for friends
to write about sleep, poop, breasts, singing,
cooking, decorating, and prenatal workouts for
those who don't like to exercise."
Mothering March/April 2004
"Fertile Ground: For People Who Dig Parenting is
a funky zine that showcases the creative

Greenberg, and her friends. Printed on a copier,
this homegrown rag offers playful, earnest
reflections on the realities of attachment
parenting."
