The Last Farm: A novel of a farm family in the era of economic development

Winner of a 2024 Royal Dragonfly Award for Fiction: Novel Farmer Bill Fogel isn’t ready to retire. But his children have grown, his wife has passed, and his body is protesting. When a warehouse developer approaches him about buying the farm that has been in his family for generations, the offer seems too good to refuse. After all, almost all the neighboring farms have sold, leaving Bill’s farm an island in a sea of concrete. The decision opens a floodgate of memories, including that of an old legend about gold that appears after lightning strikes. Bill challenges his adult grandchildren to investigate the legend before “it’s too late”. The treasure hunt that ensues initiates a storm of questions. The decision to sell is far from straightforward. It is interlaced with the family’s careers, their relationships, and the contents of the very ground they stand on. The Fogels will have to decide what matters most: financial security, the family, or the farm. If you enjoy stories of family, legacy, and tough choices, you'll love The Last Farm, a heartwarming novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
