Background story for educational lessons:
Recycled and reformed cow manure:
A new way to grow flowers and vegetables while saving the planet.
In the dairy industry one of the most challenging jobs is to manage the nutrient stream in an environmentally sound manner. The CowPots™ are made from the nutrient rich manure and exported to your garden, reduces the nutrient load on our farm.
Farmers and gardeners have always considered cow manure a wholesome organic soil amendment for their gardens. The challenge was to find a new and better way to get manure to these gardens and be of true value to consumers. This is why CowPots™ were born.
They started by looking at manure in a different way. Matt experimented with different ways to make a durable but biodegradable pot. Matt went back to the kitchen where he started experimenting with the manure fibers, drying the pots in his wife’s toaster oven. After many trials and tribulations, the brothers found a process in which they can mass-produce pots of limitless sizes and shapes at an economical cost. These pots can withstand months in the greenhouse, but shortly after being planted in the ground they dissolve and continue to feed the plant. The benefits in the production and use of CowPots™ are two-fold. This product helps farmers reduce the nutrient load on their farms, which directly contributes to a better and cleaner environment and they have been proven to grow bigger, better plants for the consumers. They also save landfills by reducing waste from plastic pots and instead use eco-friendly, biodegradable CowPots™. It seems the Freunds have developed the ideal product for farmers and growers.

Midwest Book Review
“A delightful little story for young readers, “Crissy the Cowpot” is an engaging and informative 40-page storybook by Nina Anderson and featuring the cheerful, colorful artwork of Scott Johnstone. It’s the story of how a little flowerpot named Crissy who lived on a farm was able to help the farmer turn his farm into an organic ‘green’ agricultural environment for the benefit of everyone. Enhanced with activity pages, the book is an ideal little way to help children learn about sustainable gardening and what they can do in their own gardens as a wholesome and renewable resource to grow healthier plants in a non-toxic, odor-free and nutrient rich growing environment. Children will also learn about reducing the use of non-recyclable plastics, municipal waste and being ‘wetlands friendly’. Fun and informative, “Crissy the Cowpot” is the second title in the Safe Goods Publishing ‘Edu-enviro/health’ series. Also very highly recommended is the first children’s book in this outstanding series for young readers, “The Smart Brain Train.”

"Crissy the Cowpot™ is a delightful book for children that easily combines a great story with an important message about environmental stewardship. Using the real life story of how Cowpots™ came to be, the delightful Crissy the Cowpot™ provides that first-person account in a beautifully illustrated, easy to read book, perfect for children of all ages. Even though I was well acquainted with the real story, Crissy the Cowpot™ was a pleasure to read (for me) and my children thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I'm always looking for teachable moments and having this book is a great way to share this important message with children in such an inviting, timely and understandable way. Kudos to Crissy the Cowpot™!"
