Patrick’s Great Grass Adventure
With Greg the Grass Farmer
In his first children’s book, farmer-author Joel Salatin and his daughter Rachel team up on a whimsical tale about a pigeon, a farmer, and grass. This beautifully illustrated edu-tainment book introduces 4-7 year-olds to Greg the grass farmer through the eyes of Patrick Pigeon. What better way to discover ecology-enhancing grass farming than from an aerial view? Grass as crop, insect haven, and diversity blanket comes to life as Patrick Pigeon watches and reports on Greg the grass farmer’s activities. Discovering a real farm from a real farmer through captivating explanation and illustration brings a local grass farm to life.
