I think he will enjoy and learn. *by C***J on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2022* It is a gift. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Initially motivational, but eventually repetitive and lacking in next steps for farmers. *by K***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2019* There are some great letters in here (particularly from Karen Washington, Patel, and Temple Grandin, though there are many more) with encouragement and advice for young farmers. The first third of the book hade feeling motivated and encouraged to continue working towards farming, but the feeling didn't last. Many of the letters have the same message and communicate the same issues to young farmers, and the impact lessens throughout the book. I found myself wishing for solutions or action items from the writers who kept restating problems in agriculture, but it was rare to find any.I also wish that there had been voices from the average farmer, not just from big name writers, and that each letter had been written for the book. There were a few excerpts from other books or speeches that felt confusing to read (while reading Wendell Berry's, I distinctly thought that it sounded like preaching to a rural Kentucky person rather than a letter to a farmer - only to find at the end of the 'letter' that it was, in fact, a recorded speech to Kentucky people, not farmers). I understand the big name appeal is necessary for a selling point, but it's hard to take folks who did get rich farming (Joel Salatin) seriously when they tell you to expect to be broke. I'd rather hear that from an average, unknown, struggling farmer.All in all, it has potential and many great letters, but the messages end up getting lost the further you go through the book due to repetition and lack of unique content throughout. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Letters to Everyone Who Eats... *by P***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2017* Wonderfully entertaining and relatable essays about farming, shopping, cooking and eating for people of all ages. Colorful writing that may or may not inspire one to become a farmer, but it will awaken in everyone the desire to be more aware of how food gets to our table.I learned so much about the conscious buying and preparing of the foods we consume...it is a terrific read. This book would make a long-lasting-and-often-referred-to gift for anyone that eats, as well as to young gardeners who will certainly get a lot out of the more detailed essays on farming. The title really could be "Letters to Everyone Interested in the Food We Grow, Cook and Eat".
