About the magazine

Farmer-ish is an online platform and curatorial project that explores the intersections of contemporary art, agriculture, and rural experience. Founded with an ethos of critical engagement with land, labor, and food systems, it provides a space for artists, writers, and thinkers to examine the complexities of agrarian life and its representations. The project often functions as a digital exhibition space and publishing outlet, emphasizing process, research, and dialogue over traditional gallery presentations.

Editorial focus

Farmer-ish publishes personal essays, informational essays, poetry, book reviews, and profiles on topics related to nature, making, the environment, farming, homesteading, animals, health, and family.

Artists and writers should approach Farmer-ish with projects that critically engage with agricultural, rural, or land-based themes. Submissions should demonstrate a thoughtful, research-driven practice and an awareness of the socio-political dimensions of food and farming. It is advisable to review past projects to understand the platform's curatorial tone, which favors experimental and discursive formats. Proposals should be concise, well-documented, and aligned with the platform's mission.

Please review the submissions page carefully for guidelines and calls related to upcoming themes. We publish a lot of creative nonfiction and beautiful poetry, but we are always on the look out for good educational pieces.
