Based on a true story, Why this Farm! raises important questions about our modern food supply system and its repercussions on the environment, animals, and people. It presents a battery hen farm as an example of industrial farming, with its absurdity brought to the foreground by the children living in a community that practices traditional self-reliant living.

At a time when food security is becoming ever more uncertain Why this Farm! encourages taking the opportunity to take responsibility for our food production as a solution. Enjoy a story of hope told through paintings and rhyming text.

Paula Ajuria’s artistry and passion for common sense food production comes alive in a book that will make you want to visit the beautiful Valley of Amescoa in the North of Spain.
