DOWNLOAD Heirloom Notes from an Accidental Tomato Farmer 107 Situated beautifully at the intersection of Michael Pollan Ruth Reichl and Barbara Kingsolver Heirloom is an inspiring elegiac and gorgeously written memoir about rediscovering an older and still vital way of lifeFourteen years ago Tim Stark was living in Brooklyn working days as a management consultant and writing unpublished short stories by night One evening chancing. Tim Stark is a wannabe writer who ends up growing tomatoes when a career as a writer just isn t happening Success at growing tomatoes and the popularity of the heirloom movement puts Stark in the perfect position to tell us an insiders view of growing and selling heirlooms at farmers markets in NYC And what do you know he becomes an author as well While the book is okay I think he s probably better at selling heirloom tomatoes than he is at writing Sure there are some interesting stories and characters to discover in his book but it just isn t engaging you want to be reading a Cherokee Purple but it tastes like a Florida fast food slicing tomato He never goes into the financial details very much I wouldnt want all my customers knowing how much money I make selling tomatoes either but it s a must have flavor that s missing from his story
