Description
Why you should care: For anyone who has ever grown herbs on their windowsill, tomatoes on their fire escape, or obsessed over the offerings at the local farmers' market, Carpenter's story will capture your heart. And if you've ever considered leaving it all behind to become a farmer outside the city limits, or looked at the abandoned lot next door with a gleam in your eye, consider this both a cautionary tale and a full-throated call to action. Farm City is an unforgettably charming memoir, full of hilarious moments, fascinating farmers' tips, and a great deal of heart. It is also a moving meditation on urban life versus the natural world and what we have given up to live the way we do. All of us here at the shop have fallen in love with this marvelous memoir. We're going to be serving dinner as part of Novella's visit to Rakestraw. Three or four courses of food that could be (but won't be) from her farm: eggs, rabbit, honey, and lots of vegetables for just $25. Reserve today!More Info
