Right This Very Minute: A Table-To-Farm Book about Food and Farming by Lisl H Detlefsen

How food gets from farm to table is explained in this fun and fast-paced introduction to the farms and farmers that grow the food we eat every day.


What's that you say? You're hungry? Right this very minute? Then you need a farmer


It only takes a minute to feed a hungry kid - and teach them about where food comes from - in this informative and fun picture book about agriculture. Throughout the story, families in their busy kitchens or at the table wonder where the delicious foods they're about to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert come from - followed by colorful, detailed spreads showing the operations and people involved in farming those foods. More than a dozen different types of farms are featured throughout, including a citrus grower testing oranges for ripeness, how a family-owned strawberry farm runs a u-pick business, how maple syrup is collected using a new tubing system instead of buckets, how wheat is planted, how a cranberry farmer saves berries from a frost, how a peanut farmer tests soil, how a dairy farmer cares for their animals, how lettuce is harvested, how beef farmers work with cattle on the range, and many more examples of agriculture in action.


Award winners Lisl H. Detlefsen and Renee Kurilla's delicious celebration of food and farming is sure to inspire readers of all ages to learn more about where their food comes from ― and appreciate the hard work of farming and the cool technology today's farmers use.
