A Tale of Two Farms Fred Maese

A Tale of Two Farms is about two adjacent farms in the town of Greenwell, both growing organic crops and healthy animals, who enter their top pigs at the yearly town fair. When one farm's animals keep winning the coveted 1st Prize, the other farm changes the diet of the animals to the new scientifically produced "Hungry Animal" brand that boasts "White Glitter" as its secret ingredient. When that farm's pig suddenly starts to win, a golden opportunity is recognized by the local entrepreneurs, owners of the new animal food, to partner up and expand to various businesses including a fast food chain, a soda company and a government subsidized refinery. A Tale of Two Farms is a fable that takes the reader on a metaphorical journey over the very real consequences of the changing landscape in the way we have come to eat over the last 100 years with the all too often catastrophic impact on our health. Experience the different motivations of the various characters and the single-handed stubbornness by one farm and its animals to remain true to the father of modern organic agriculture! This story provides parents a fun and great opportunity to teach their children about nutrition.
