It's a Long Road to a Tomato: Tales of an Organic Farmer Who Quit the Big City for the (Not So) Simple Life
Description
This engaging memoir follows a former city dweller who trades urban routines for the demanding, unpredictable work of organic farming. With humor and candor, it explores the realities behind sustainable agriculture—from cultivating crops and building a farm business to navigating weather, markets, and the endless labor required to bring food to the table. Along the way, the journey reveals the rewards and frustrations of pursuing a more self-sufficient, environmentally responsible way of life. Accessible and thought-provoking, it offers an honest look at the gap between the ideal of the simple life and the hard-won reality of farming.
