Tim Stark began growing tomatoes in his Brooklyn apartment while working for a management company in New York City. After discovering that his true passion lay in agriculture, Stark traded the city for a small farm in Pennsylvania. His memoir, Heirloom: Notes from an Accidental Tomato Farmer, shares the trials and successes Stark has experienced in the fourteen years he has spent farming organically.
