Magazine cover laying on wood boards with a flowering dogwood branch next to and slightly over the magazine. The cover is black, says "The New Territory" in white, and features a spooky-feeling image of a woman wearing a headlamp that illuminates her hands, which are poking at a bat with forceps.

Issue 01: Growing Points

$15.00

Issue 01 was our first manifesto of radical slowness, real stories of rural Ozarks and Great Plains, and a vision for the future.

A theme of harboring strength in the earth draws a line through all these stories. Whether it’s building relationships through a river’s meandering, betting on dirt for your livelihood or planning 1,000 years ahead with existing land use as a guide, our successes all come from right where we’re planted. Likewise, fostering peace in your community, showing children respect, and feeling the earth’s changes within yourself, as in Kate Strum’s “Personal Geology” is another, emotional, form of the same idea.

We hope you enjoy our first adventure in publishing what’s come to be known as The Autobiography of the Lower Midwest.
