Heirloom; Notes from an Accidental Tomato Farmer: Tim Stark

This was a fun book talking about a variety of things on how he ended up returning to his home and becoming a "tomato farmer". The book was divided into chapters that were all very different from one another, it was told more in memory format than a linear order. The chapters talked about Tim's disenchantment with New York City, the gradual merge into tomato growing, his life on a small farm in PA as a child and the caretaker there, his first few stressful years trying to get his tomatoes planted, weeded and picked. The book mentions a story he got published about killing a woodchuck and the outrage the readers had to it calling him a murderer. It also talked about an older woman in the area known for her lima beans and how she pointed out the parking lots and developments that used to be the farm. This was a very interesting book!
