Now that readership has grown so substantially over the last several months, we want to gauge what our readers wants. What would you like to see more of on The Frugal Farmer:
-homesteading/self-sufficiency articles?
-prepper/survivalist articles

-more e-books (and if so, on what topics)
-other types of articles
You tell us – we want to know! 🙂
Hi Laurie,
While I love to read pretty much any articles, if I had to choose I’d say these two are the most interesting to me:
-more articles on debt payoff/reaching financial freedom
-more articles on ways to save money
Have a great rest of your day and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for sharing your opinion, SHNM – we appreciate it!
This is great, I would like to choose more articles on debt payoff/reaching financial freedom, more articles on ways to save money and more e-books (and if so, on what topics. 🙂
Thanks much, Clarisse!! We appreciate your opinion! 🙂
Laurie,
More article on your journey to financial freedom. Since I don’t cook recipes aren’t something I use.
I’ll keep that in mind, Charles. 🙂
Hey, Laurie! I think your homesteading articles are so interesting, and a change of pace in the PF world. Debt repayment is also encouraging, obviously 🙂
Also, I love when you discuss how your faith impacts your debt repayment journey. Thanks for being bold!
Laurie, I love your homesteading posts! It’s nice to vicariously live through someone else! And like Boomerang Girl says, I am a huge fan of your faith and money posts! 🙂
I second this comment. I love your homesteading and faith/money posts.
Yay! Glad to know we’re doing something right. 🙂
Thanks, Mackenzie! I’ll keep it up. 🙂
Thanks so much, BG, for your encouraging words, and for sharing your thoughts: we appreciate it. 🙂
I like the blog as is. But since your making me pick 😉

Thanks, Brian! We really appreciate you weighing in. 🙂
I always love reading about debt payoff and reaching financial freedom since that’s the road we’re on too!
Thanks, Dee! We love reading about your journey too. 🙂
Ways to save money for sure!!!
I mean, who doesn’t want this?
I’m with ya there, David. 🙂 Thanks for weighing in.
Like those who replied above, more articles on debt payoff but also on ways to save money. They are both interesting and unique to each person who is on the journey and many of us would like to hear more about them.
Thanks, Amanda!! I’ll work on this. Have a terrific weekend. 🙂
Financial freedom and paying off debt are the things I love to read about! I have been following the new people on “Blogging Away Debt” and really feel encouraged that they are in the fight and have bared their souls! It would be great to read about some of your debt victories. Are you close to paying off a debt or credit card? Will you share something with us about this? (ie. the bottom line?) How are you doing mentally and emotionally through this battle? I would love to read more of the real nuts and bolts and the nitty-gritty! We all want you to succeed!
It’s true that a thrifty life is the way to get there, but let’s hear how you are really doing. Take heart. Most of us have been there at one time or another! Keep fighting the good fight!
Thanks so much, Isabella – I appreciate your kind and encouraging words. I’m working on a post like the one you mentioned. 🙂
Hello Laurie,
I like a good mix of stuff, but my top three would be:
– reaching financial freedom
– prepper/survivalist articles
– ways to save money.
I still think you should mix them up as much as possible and not focus entirely on a single topic.
Awesome, C. I appreciate your thoughts. I’ll get to work on this!
I love your saving money, grocery posts. Also, your debt updates and how you are dealing with it. I think you should also include how you are a freelance writing rockstar and how to get started 🙂 I’m starting to get work and am thrilled — you are one of my biggest inspirations!
LOL, you’re funny, Melanie. 🙂 I’m SO excited for you that your freelancing career is really taking off – you deserve the success you’re having!
I especially enjoy your articles on debt repayment. I really appreciate your honesty, and I so often get that encouraging “We’re not in this alone,” feeling after I’ve read of your experience. I need that kind of fuel for this long journey out of debt.
So glad, Prudence, that we are helping you to feel encouraged. That, along with getting out of debt, is our main goal. Keep at it, girl – you can do this!
Honestly, I love the variety, but I find your posts on self-sufficiency and homesteading fascinating – mostly because I hope to one day be in a position to put all that knowledge to use on my own little farm 😀
Thanks, Kali! We’re working on incorporating more of these. 🙂
I actually really enjoy the prepper/survivalist articles! I’m really fascinated with this topic so if you have more stuff to share on it, I’m all ears.
I’m on it, DC! Thanks for your input. 🙂
I enjoy all your articles, but the saving money and reaching financial freedom interest me the most since that’s the path I am on. Actually I’m with DC too…I kinda like the survivalist and self-sufficiency ones too even though it’s hard for me to do the same in my small apartment, but it’s still cool to read about it.
Thanks, Andrew – I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. 🙂
I read lots of stuff about saving money and debt payoff. What stands out for me on your site are the articles about homesteading and prepper. So that’s what I’d like to read more about…thanks!
Will do, Tracy. Thanks so much for jumping in on this. 🙂
I like the idea of variety, so whatever is inspiring you at the moment usually inspires us!
LOL, you’re the best, Tonya – thanks. 🙂
I like when you share your recipes (in particular the one talking about making Chipotle rice) and your own experiences about getting out of debt. Thx
I’m sharing about homemade flour tortillas tomorrow – YUM!
Since this is literally my first visit, I don’t know if I should be helping dictate the content of this site. However, I would like to see how you help your children stay away from debt/consumer crap, etc.
P.S. I’m enjoying the site so far! I live in Nebraska and we farm. Grreeeeat way of life!
Awesome, William!! Welcome to the site! I will definitely write an article on how we are helping the kids to stay out of debt. Thanks for a terrific idea – hope to hear more from you. 🙂
I like to hear about your debt payoff journey, but I also really like the garden and homesteading posts too!
Thanks, Kara!!! Will definitely keep it up on these. 🙂
Hey Laurie, great idea… only the audience can truly tell you what they want. Personally, I’d love to see you start a column about how to make a blog profitable. I admire your work and would love some pointers!
Thanks, Joshua, and thanks for your input about making a blog profitable. I’m not real knowledgeable in that area, I’d probably go to Jeremy over at Modest Money, Aaron over at Three Thrifty Guys, DC over at Young Adult Money or John over at Frugal Rules for that wisdom. 🙂
Hi Laurie!
I honestly say, keep being who you are. Write what you want to write about and what inspires you. I like you just the way you are and whatever you have to say, I want to hear it. 🙂
Happy tears here, Shannon – thank you for your kind words. 🙂
Good advice Shannon! and I have to agree with her – write what you want to write about. I really enjoy following your blog/reading your other articles around the web. Have a good weekend!
Thank you SO much, Liz. Your words have made my day. 🙂
What Shannon and Liz said.
Oh and here’s my list:
Personal stories
Financial stories
Personal Financial stories
Bad $hit I didWorse $hit he did
You know… stuff that matters 😉
Love ya!
P.S. You know I’m kidding right? 😀
LOL, hilarious!!! I’ll work harder to put in more personal stories. Be prepared. 🙂
I really enjoy personal stories. But I also enjoy the money saving tips and financial freedom.
Awesome, Raquel!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts – we appreciate it. 🙂
OK so here’s a weird idea…
One of the reasons I love your blog so much is because of your personality Laurie 🙂 When I see you pop up in my feed reader I feel like I’m having a chat to a friend – and I love that.
So what would I like to see more of? Two thoughts… One, I’d like to hear more personal stories from you (I love these) but other than that the point I’m trying to make is that one of the pleasures of Frugal Farmer is reading what *you* want to write. It seems odd – but I really mean it!
Therefore *I* want to read what *you* want to write, if that makes sense 😉
Awww, thanks, Rich!!! You’ve made my day, and it’s only 5a.m.!! Others have asked for more personal stories too, so that’s definitely on the list. I’ve got plenty to tell. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and have a wonderful day!
I’m probably a little biased because I enjoy everything you write, but if I had to chose I’d probably say the inspirational pieces you do about debt paydown and the posts about cooking/making things from scratch. Oh and the posts about alternative ways to save money.
Thanks, KK!! SO appreciate of your kind words here. We are definitely going to be doing more in all of those areas. 🙂
