LOCATION

Join us at Sherman Café, (257 Washington Street) for a discussion
of Farm City led by Somerville Public Library librarian, Kevin O'Kelly.

An unforgettably charming memoir, Farm City is full of hilarious
moments, fascinating farmer's tips, and a great deal of heart. When
Novella Carpenter-captivated by the idea of backyard self-sufficiency-
moved to inner city Oakland and discovered a weed-choked, garbage-strewn
abandoned lot next door to her house, she closed her eyes and pictured
heirloom tomatoes and a chicken coop. The story of how her urban farm
grew from a few chickens to one populated with turkeys, geese, rabbits,
ducks, and two three-hundred-pound pigs will capture the imagination of
anyone who has ever considered leaving the city behind for a more
natural lifestyle.

Copies of Farm City in a variety of formats, including e-books
and audiobooks, are available for check out at all Somerville Library
locations. Reserve your copy today!
