Mothering(March/April 2004) "Fertile Ground: For People Who Dig Parenting is a funky zine that showcases the creative ramblings and drawings of its founder, Stacey Greenberg, and her friends. Printed on a copier, this homegrown rag offers playful, earnest reflections on the realities of attachment parenting." 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." Mamalicious (Winter 2003-2004) "Stacey Greenberg shoots out this zine four times a year. "For people who dig parenting," it's an absolutely solid read-through of first person parenting experiences that tickle, sting and support." Slug & Lettuce #78 (Winter 03) "Fertile Ground #3 has articles surpassing the basics covered in its debut.

Recommended, and I'm looking forward to what comes next." (-Carol) Slug & Lettuce #75 (Spring 2003) "This zine has a community feel to it.

Fertile Ground is a parenting zine full of earthy metaphors and friendly tales of birth, breastfeeding, and the continuing adventures of parenthood. Its first issue is sweet and open in a way that is very engaging..."
