TIPPECANOE — Yvonne A. Ackerman, owner of The Market at Gladman Farms, announced the release of her first children’s book, “Dylan’s Dream: Bucky at the County Fair,” published by Palmetto Publishing.

According to a news release, “Dylan’s Dream” provides children a glimpse of what it takes to raise, show and sell a livestock animal at the county fair. From breaking to lead and grooming to showing the animal in an arena, the book guides boys and girls through each step in the process for preparing to show their own animal at a county fair and the subsequent sale of the animal.

Promoting farming to America’s youth, “Dylan’s Dream” invites readers to chase their own agricultural ambitions, inspiring future generations of farmers.

The book is available online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and by contacting The Market at Gladman Farms.

Ackerman holds a bachelor’s degree in agricultural communications from The Ohio State University and worked in the rural electric cooperative industry for over 13 years, earning several state and national communication awards before retiring to focus on her health.

A Lyme disease and colorectal cancer survivor, she now carries on the family legacy of farming alongside her husband in Tippecanoe, Harrison County.

Founded in 2024, The Market at Gladman Farms is a family-owned and operated farm market that provides fresh produce, quality hay, grains, cottage foods, bar soaps and more to the local community.

As seventh generation farmers, The Market at Gladman Farms is committed to leaving a legacy for future generations through the good stewardship of the land and commitment to community through shared experiences.
