A New Book for Everyone Who Likes to Eat Good Food
Praise for Truckpatch
"Lucky for us, Ward Sinclair did not give up his writing career when he left the big city for the farm. In his regular dispatches about a farmer's life he wrote with a soaring spirit, a quirky funnybone and the pure honesty of a man who had hands deep in the dirt. He might have hooted to hear me say this, but his final work is a rich and clear-eyed love story — for his piece of God's green earth and the woman who worked it with him."
—Howard Kohn, author of The Last Farmer
"The day Ward came to deliver was always special. Along with wonderful, good-looking and real-tasting vegetables, Ward brought their fascinating stories and held us spellbound as he regaled us with his latest farming experiences. Through Truckpatch, we are able once again to enjoy his knowledge, talent and humor."
—Chef Nora Pouillon, Restaurant Nora, Washington, D.C.
"There are writers who farm and farmers who write, but precious few who master both arts. Ward Sinclair was one of the very best. With pen and plow, he went deep. Imagine Luther Burbank with a great ear, or Sandburg with a green thumb. That was Ward."
—John Egerton, author of Generations and Southern Food
"You probably never met Ward Sinclair, but he was your friend — a crusader for good food on your table and common sense in high places."
—Jim Hightower
