VIRTUAL FARM

Marsha Boulton was the fourth woman and the first shepherd to receive the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humor. The Award-winning book, Letters From the Country, first published in 1996, chronicles Marsha's transition from "high heels to Wellington boots" and several sequels have followed. Letters from the Country IV has just been published by McArthur & Company, and is now available in bookstores across Canada and the United States or directly from Marsha through this website (See contact information below).

A former People- section editor at Maclean's Magazine, Marsha now lives on a sheep farm in southwestern Ontario, where she also writes anecdotal Canadian history books (the Just A Minute series). She has been a contributor to the CBC Radio "Fresh Air" program for a more than a decade and is the recipient of the YWCA's Woman of Distinction Award in Arts and Culture.
Marsha Boulton is the the only Shepherd - Author listed in Who's Who of Canada. She is a member of the Writers Union of Canada.. Presently, Marsha is working on an historical novel based upon the Normanite cult of Cape Breton's Norman McLeod. She shares farm chores with author Stephen Williams and can often be found out standing in her field with her English bull terrier, Wally the Wonder Dog.

She has spoken at functions as varied as a dinner meeting for international  Dofasco engineers at Niagara-on-the-Lake and Canadian Club luncheons from Victoria, British Columbia to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Marsha speaks about Canadian history and events as well as about the facts and foibles of farm life and making the transition from life in the big city to life in a rural backwater.

NOTE: This web site is in development. Sections, such as Marsha's Farm and Public Appearances are still blank. Marsha's Farm Store is not yet operational although you can view her various book covers on that page. If you wish to buy signed copies of Marsha's books, you may contact her either by mail or e-mail and request the titles that you want. Eventually, the store will offer her books and other country stuff such  Marsha's very special Ontario Spring Lamb but not until we figure out how to do all that. Thank you for your patience.
