Toy Farmer is a print and digital magazine for collectors of model farming vehicles and other small-scale farm vehicle replicas.
First published in 1978 by husband and wife team Claire and Cathy Scheib, Toy Farmer has grown from a four-page black and white newsletter to a glossy print magazine with subscribers from around the world. The magazine highlights model vehicles, toys, dioramas, collectors, and events that appeal to collectors and strengthen the bonds of the farm-toy collecting community. The magazine informs readers of new models available for purchase from various manufacturers but also tells personal stories with historical significance and nostalgic value. Toy Farmer is one of the few hobbyist magazines to ensure young collectors are represented within its pages. This approach is refreshing; it creates a welcoming feel that new collectors – regardless of age – will appreciate.
Toy Farmer offers monthly print, digital, and combination subscriptions.
