Some Field Notes are FieldNotes-ier than others, and this Winter 2023 edition, Heartland, might be the Field Notes-iest yet. If youve been following them for a while, you know that Field Notes were born of the vintage agricultural and industrial pocket memo books that FN co-founder Aaron Draplin has been collecting for years.
Putting this all together, Field Notes asked artist and screen-printer Dan McCarthy, who illustrated three of the covers from the National Parks Series, to create a rural panorama across the covers of three books, each depicting a different time of day: sunrise, midday, and evening. The results are everything we hoped for, a lovely combination of theme, color, and utility that really capture the spirit of American farm life.
The pocket-size books feature McCarthys artwork printed on sturdy 100# Domtar Cougar cover stock. The body of the book is Finch Opaque 60# text with a Big Sky-blue 3/16″ grid. Each book features a unique set of Practical Applications based on the daypart illustrated on the cover. Youll find these books indispensable whenever you take a moment from your busy day to catch your breath and collect your thoughts on the farm or wherever else you may happen to be.
