The nationwide awards contest recognized three books in the Midwest Regional Nonfiction Category, with the book by Corey Geiger being named one of the top three entrants, a news release said.
Geiger, an international agricultural journalist, pairs his rural roots and lively storytelling talents to capture six generations of local tales in “On A Wisconsin Family Farm.”
“The book contains colorful, somewhat wild, but true stories from creating America’s Dairyland,” Geiger said in the news release. “How exactly did we become the land of the Cheeseheads?”
He added: “Readers have shared that the 31 short stories in ‘On A Wisconsin Family Farm’ have sparked conversation within their family. When a book brings stories to life for readers and their families, that is the best compliment an author can receive. For that, I am grateful.”
Released on March 29, 2021, “On A Wisconsin Family Farm” has sold to all 50 states and nearly every Wisconsin county in its first year.
Widely available throughout the Midwest, the book can be found in nearly 150 stores and online. Personally signed copies can be purchased at coreygeiger.com.
