About Us

Feeding Minds Press strives to publish engaging children’s books about modern agriculture.

What does that mean?

Our farm books focus on what farms really look like today – not 100 years ago, and our stories are as fun as they are educational.

Farms across America can be small, medium, or large – but they have a few things in common.

They use technology - from apps on smartphones, tractors that use GPS technology, drones to scout crops, automatic milking machines, digesters that turn poop into energy, irrigation systems, and more. Farmers, like many of us, are working smarter not harder and we show that agriculture can be an exciting career field.

Today farms aren’t full of pitchforks, straw hats, and overalls. Farmers still love overalls, but that isn’t always what they wear! Farmers across the country are becoming more diverse every year – and more women are taking an active role in farm operations. We show that there is a space for everyone in agricultural careers and fields.

You can meet some too! Here are a few videos that explore interesting facts about farms!
