From the Orange Mailbox is the first collection of A. Carman Clark's award-winning columns of good country wisdom. Written with humor and intelligence, Clark's essays cover topics ranging from the history of her 170 year old farm on Sennebec Pond to the use of narcissus bulbs in ancient Rome to the proper care of an asparagus bed. The book also contains many of Arley Clark's "good book recipes"; delicious concoctions made from asparagus, rhubarb, blueberries and apples grown on her own farm.
