About this product

Product Information

One of New York Times " Top 10 Books of 2009" (Dwight Garner) "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 When Novella Carpenter -- captivated by the idea of backyard self-sufficiency as the daughter of two back-to-the-earth hippies -- moves to a ramshackle house in inner-city Oakland and discovers a weed-choked, garbage-strewn abandoned lot next door, she closes her eyes and pictures heirloom tomatoes, a beehive, and a chicken coop. What starts out as a few egg-laying chickens leads to turkeys, geese, and ducks. And not long after, along came two 300-pound pigs. And no, these charming and eccentric animals aren't pets. Novella is raising these animals for dinner. An unforgettably charming memoir, full of hilarious moments, fascinating farmer's tips, and a great deal of heart, Farm City offers a beautiful mediation on what we give up to live the way we do today.

I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you.

    Great reading - great message!

    Love it! Great light reading with a pointed message. As a small urban farmer (goats and chickens and organic garden) I can certainly relate to this farmer's journey though agriculture "citified". Now with rabbits added to my menagerie, let's see if I can get hungry enough to "do the deed". Factory farms will always feed the masses, but small urban farmers will feed those who wish to eat well and Novella Carpenter outlines that premise.
