I was gifted this book and loved it so much I bought two more to give to my dad and a farmer friend.
The author is kind and humorous with a clear connection to the earth, animals and his fields. I laughed, I cried, I was inspired. This felt like a roadmap to happiness and fulfillment.
His humble approach to life was refreshing and as a woman I appreciated his gentle expression of equality.
Stewart is a great storyteller and I devoured this book with great enthusiasm, only pacing myself at the last few chapters because I didn’t want it to end.
The beautiful woodcut art adorning the pages (done by his wife) really set the tone.
I found myself wanting more and have since discovered his short articles in magazines.

Twenty years ago, just beyond his 40th birthday, Keith Stewart exchanged life in New York's corporate grind for a farm in Orange County, NY, where he and a small crew of seasonal workers grow about 100 organic vegetables and herbs. What started as a yearning"to live on a piece of land, closer to nature; to work outside with my body as well as my brain; to leave behind the world of briefcases, computers, corporate clients, and non-opening windows"has become a life "more full, more varied" and often "more demanding and exhausting, but always more real." Stewart sells everything he grows directly to consumers and restaurateurs, and in doing so has developed loyal and growing ranks devoted to his Rocambole garlic, herbs, heirloom tomatoes, and other organic produce. Now, in It's a Long Road to a Tomato, Stewart presents interlocking, complementary essays, addressing his mid-life development as a farmer; some of the nuts and bolts and how-to's of organic vegetable growing and selling in an urban market; humorous and philosophical stories about domestic and wild farm animals and the natural world; and some of the political, social, and environmental issues surrounding agriculture today and why it matters to all of us.

Interesting read & extremely informative. We never appreciate the food put on our table and do not bat an eye to leave food on our plate. After reading this book it gave me a deap insight into what it takes to grow food.
No leaving food on the plate post reading this book.

great story and some good advice

I consider this book a sort of motivational speech for those who are interested in gardening. I really enjoyed it and it is humurous and easy to follow. There is some great advice in there and I wish there had been more but overall I have no regrets about purchasing it.

"Tomato" offers an inside view of the daily life of Organic Farming...
2014年9月3日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
If you want to understand a good bit about the daily life, the challenges of growing healthy vegetables, and the business and politics of organic farming this book is for you! Concise prose, infected with wisdom and humor this series of short essays is insightful and truly a pleasure to read.
Beyond all that, what makes "A Long Road to a Tomato" worth reading is the unvarnished sharing of what this farmer thinks, feels and does as he grows his business and carves his niche in New York City's competitive Union Square Greenmarket. If we had such an honest telling of how our agribusiness-supermarket food came to be, we'd all be in line at greenmarkets growing throughout this country. A fascinating story, well worth your time and attention!
If you are interested in "Growing Organic Vegetables and Herbs" get Keith's book by this name, a very readable encyclopedia of facts, procedures and wisdom on how to produce food without poisons, also sold by Amazon. Dan
