Virtual Book Club with Diana Martinez and
"The Growing Season" Author Sarah Frey


The MAC presents a free virtual discussion with author Sarah Frey about her new book The Growing Season: How I Saved an American Farm — And Built a New Life. A free Q&A with the author will follow.
 

“Once I started reading the book, I couldn't put it down,” says Martinez. “I highly recommend this book to everyone who likes an all-American inspirational story about vision, grit and resiliency. It will also be of great interest to students and anyone interested in entrepreneurship and business.”
 

Through hard work and determination, Frey was able to save the family farm and turn it into multi-state farming empire Frey Farms. Today Frey is known as “America's Pumpkin Queen" and Harvard uses her story of landing a deal with Walmart for distribution at age 17 as a case study. There is an ABC television series in development of her story.

In the spirit of community, the Daily Herald is providing promotional support for the Book Club initiative and The Book Store of Glen Ellyn is offering a 15% discount to anyone mentioning "Growing Season Book Club."

 

The FREE talk will be streamed online at atthemac.org and on their Facebook page
