Annual Subscription - FOLKLIFE Magazine
For the ones who love a slow, inspiring, and heart-opening read.
A FOLKLIFE subscription is an invitation to step away from your screen, and into the stories, images, and reflections of those living with intention. Delivered in timeless print, each volume brings you deep-dive features, thoughtful essays, and beautiful photography. Capturing the creative, resilient, and quietly revolutionary spirit of life on the edges.
What you’ll receive:
- Upcoming volume to be published, not a current volume
- Two issues per year, delivered to your door, published in April and October (often arriving in May and November)
- Stories of craft, food, nature, community, and creative living
- A gentle reminder to slow the folk down
- Joyful knowledge that you're supporting indie Canadian journalism and creatives

Slow the folk down
Collect moments.
FOLKLIFE Magazine isn’t made to be flipped through and forgotten in airplane seat back pocket. It’s meant to be revisited. Shared with guests, savoured over tea, or saved for a slow Sunday morning.
