Some time ago, I read Mike Madison's Blythe Tomato. The book is a wonderful insight into the life of a person who is dedicated to growing food for others. There are reflections on farming, farmers' markets and the people who grow things as well as their perceptions of those who buy produce from them. It may be time for me to pull this book out and give parts of it a read again. The book consists of a series of chapters that need not be read sequentially, nor does the book need to be read in its entirety to appreciate it.
