Barry Estabrook visits the Bartlett Arboretum Open to Public

The Bartlett welcomes Barry Estabrook, a three-time James-Beard-Award-winning journalist on Wednesday, July 29 at 7:00 pm. He is the author of Pig Tales: An Omnovore’s Quest for Sustainable Meat, which Alice Waters described as “a beautiful and clear-eyed examination of the world of pigs and pig farming,” and of the New York Times best-selling Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit (described as “masterful” by Mark Bittman in the New York Times).

Youthful stints on a midwestern dairy farm (hot!) and being tossed about on a commercial fishing boat off Nova Scotia (frigid!) taught Barry that writing about how food is produced is a lot easier than actually producing it! Barry lives on a 30-acre plot in Vermont where he tends to a large vegetable garden, tends a small flock of laying hens, make maple syrup and writes.

Barry will speak and sign two of his books: Tomatoland and Pig Tales. The event is open to the public.
