Farm City

Praise

“Easily the funniest, weirdest, most perversely provocative gardening book I’ve ever read. I couldn’t put it down . . . The writing soars.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Captivating . . . By turns edgy, moving, and hilarious, Farm City marks the debut of a striking new voice in American writing.” —Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Food Rules

“Fresh, fearless, and jagged around the edges, Ms. Carpenter’s book . . . puts me in mind of Julie Powell’s Julie & Julia and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love.” —The New York Times

“Carpenter, with [her] humor and step-by-step clarity, make[s] it seem utterly possible to grow the kind of food you want to eat, wherever you live.” —Los Angeles Times
