She was fifteen when she moved out of her family home and started her own fresh produce delivery business with an old pickup truck. With a mission to end food waste in the fresh produce industry, the family makes natural food products and beverages from imperfect or “ugly fruit.” In The Growing Season: How I Built a New Life–and Saved an American Farm (Ballantine Books), Frey tells the inspiring story of how a scrappy rural childhood gave Frey the grit and resiliency to take risks that paid off in unexpected ways. Her family business, Frey Farms, plants thousands of acres of fruits and vegetables in seven states. Sarah Frey has been described by The New York Times as “the Pumpkin Queen of America.” She sells more pumpkins than any other producer in the United States. ![]()

![]() ![]() I have loved Alexis’s other books because they are clever, funny, and hot. I was a bit let down when I saw it was BDSM. ![]() Toby has to live his own life, and Laurie has to let him.
