When a young Sasquatch is left orphaned in the woods, a lonely old farmer named Bill Jackson takes him under his wing and forms a strong bond with the friendly beast. To Bill’s delight, he discovers the Sasquatch has a special connection to nature, and over the years, they build the farm into a thriving business. As the Sasquatch grows, he develops a love for PB&J sandwiches, shiny objects, and Latin novella soap operas. But while he embraces the human world, he sadly retires to the barn each night where he sleeps alone. His life is changed forever when a female Sasquatch ventures onto the farm. As his world view is blown wide open, he must decide whether he’s a human or a Sasquatch. The Sasquatch of Jackson Farm is a fantasy story about love, heartache, family, and letting go of the ones we love the most.

In the summer of 1954, Wallace and Ella Moon moved their family to an 80-acre resettlement farm north of Fruita, Colorado. Over the next six decades, the family would transform the property into a children's wonderland. Wallace and Ella constructed 30 unique playhouses and museums influenced by their pioneering history growing up in Utah. Fruita's Historic Moon Farm details its transformation from a family farm to a field-trip destination, children's day camp, pumpkin patch, vacation rental hub, and place to be enjoyed by kids of all ages. The nonprofit Grand Valley Equine Assisted Learning Center has taken the reins from the Moon family and plans to continue the farm's vacation rental and pumpkin patch traditions.
