Homemade Reed Diffusers

About Us

In 2012, the Miller family began a monthly print magazine stemming from a simple discussion about how to share stories of mission and ministry work with their Amish community. Marlin and Lisa have adopted all four of their children. Their oldest is on the Autism spectrum, the two in the middle both have Down syndrome, and their youngest has Mosaic Down syndrome. Plain Values Magazine was crafted out of the desire to create a faith centered simple living magazine for the whole family.

Over the years, the magazine has grown as readers across the nation outside of the Amish community have become subscribers. Plain Values has a curated group of monthly writers including Joel Salatin, Rory Feek, Melissa K. Norris, Ferree Hardy, Shawn and Beth Dougherty, Dr. Theron Hutton, and Wendy Cunningham among others to bring forth a magazine hearkening back to the days of neighbors having deep connections to their roots and deep conversations on the front porch. A portion of each subscription goes directly to Room to Bloom, our non-profit that supports children with special needs around the world.
