The Farm That Feeds Us — A Year in the Life of an Organic Farm
Where does our food come from? What’s it like to be a farmer? In The Farm That Feeds Us — A Year in the Life of an Organic Farm, students take an illustrated journey through the seasons to explore the rhythm of life on a sustainable family farm.
With charming artwork and engaging facts, this book invites readers to experience the many roles of a farmer—feeding animals, tending crops, managing equipment, and working in harmony with nature. Organized by season, each chapter brings the farm to life:
- Spring – Visit the chicken coop, tend the orchard, till the fields, explore farm machinery, and harvest early spring crops.
- Summer – Pick your own produce, plant and harvest corn, step inside a beehive, mow hay, milk cows, and head to the county fair.
- Fall – Harvest pumpkins and squash, make pies and preserves, graze the fields, and care for farm animals.
- Winter – Trim and prune the orchard, maintain equipment, shop for seeds, bake bread, and care for bees.
Special sections highlight:
- From farm to table connections
- Pollination and natural pest control
- Planting cool-weather crops
- Sustainable farming practices you can support
The year concludes with a thoughtful guide on how each of us can help the farmers who grow our food. A helpful glossary explains key terms like “crop rotation,” “organic,” and “pollinator.”
Perfect for ages 7 and up, The Farm That Feeds Us is both an educational resource and a celebration of the dedication, skill, and care that go into producing the food we eat.
