Praise for Keith Stewarts
ITS A LONG ROAD TO A TOMATO
Keith Stewarts essays afford a fine way in to the compelling realities of life on a small organic farm in the twenty-first century. His writing is precise and evocativeimmediacy bound with a strong meditative underpinning that is an enduring pleasure to read. Like all really good writing, it illuminates a great deal more than the subject at hand.
SALLY SCHNEIDER, syndicated columnist and author of A New Way to Cook and The Improvisational Cook

Keiths writing reads with the force and love of natures elementsstrong, refreshing, beautiful, and true. Its as fresh as his delicious carrots, and as poignant as his incomparable garlic!
LESLIE MCEACHERN, owner of Angelica Kitchen in New York City and author of The Angelica Home Kitchen

Keith Stewart has been providing New Yorkers with magnificent vegetables for two decades. Now, as if to prove he can do anything, he provides all Americans with a compelling story about his own approach to farming. And at precisely the right moment, just as millions of people across the country are rediscovering the pleasure, and the importance, of eating close to home.
BILL MCKIBBEN, author of The End of Nature, Deep Economy, and Eaarth

BECAUSE EVERY BOOK IS A TEST OF NEW IDEAS
Ever dreamed of living on a farm or growing your own food Heres the clearest - photo 5
Ever dreamed of living on a farm or growing your own food? Heres the clearest picture of what farm life really looks like. The romance of a pastoral life isnt shattered by Stewarts depiction of the gritty reality of farm life. They coexist, side by side, mirroring Stewarts organic and integrated approach to farming. Stewarts book is a gift to cooks. Now, each time I cook with food from a farmer I know, I have a deeper and clearer idea of what really goes into growing healthy and delicious food and why our farmers are heroes.
PETER HOFFMAN, chef/owner of Savoy Restaurant, New York City

To combat urban crowding, copies of Its a Long Road to a Tomato should be airlifted into major cities. The captivating charm of organic farming, so deliciously described in Keith Stewarts essays, would surely have hordes of city dwellers packing their bags. Stewarts stories transport me into the precious and full life of an organic farmer. I more than appreciate it; I now feel part of it.
JEFFREY M. SMITH, author of Seeds of Deception
Picture 7
Keith Stewart opens this engaging book by transforming himself abruptly from midlife executive into novice organic farmer. The twenty years that follow on an upstate New York farm are sampled here in true-life tales thatwithout denying the sometimes harsh realities of the small producers lifeleave the reader in no doubt of the joys that keep this small farmer on the land.
JOAN DYE GUSSOW, author of This Organic Life
Picture 8
Here is a book from which a beginning farmer can draw not only inspiration, but volumes of practical knowledge and methods as well. Yet at the same time it is a book that us old hands can find virtue, honesty, and validation through.... And it is a book so carefully written and artistically illustrated that, I believe, anyone who picks it up will be drawn into its beauty and depth.
The Natural Farmer
Stewarts beguiling and enlightening collection of essays recalls both the triumphs and tragedies, the demanding reality and the rewards of pursuing a life that twenty years ago Stewart decided would be infinitely more satisfying than the corporate ladder he was climbing in Manhattan.
Booklist
Picture 9
This late-blooming farmers almanac is full of anecdotes, humorous chapters, tales of animal antics, and, naturally, an essay on tomato production.
Dallas Morning News

Whether writing about the love of his harvest knife, the reasons he has three tractors, or his loyal farm dogs, Stewart gives every aspiring farmer a realistic and enticing glimpse of small farm life... A treat for anyone interested in the realities of farming.
Organic Producer magazine
Picture 11
Keiths easy prose weaves the events at the farm and market together in a way that illustrates his farming experience and the common struggles farmers face in coming to grips with the time.
Organic Farms, Folks & Foods
Picture 12
In interlocking complementary essays (most originating from Stewarts contributions to Valley Table magazine) Stewart runs the gamut from growing the organic goodies to stories about the domestic and wild farm animals to insights into the political, social and environmental issues critical to agrarian life today... A shining example of how the plowshares and the paint brush still preserve our precious world.
