About the Author
It started when John Wayne made me a tuna sandwich. And then I bought an old red truck from fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger for my farm.After 30 years as the art director of The Washington Post, and Smithsonian, Architecture and Preservation magazines, I ditched it all to open a rural bakery out in the Virginia Piedmont hunt country an hour west of DC. We're now getting a lot of attention from The New York Times, Garden & Gun, Esquire, Southern Living and many other publications. President Obama has a thing for our baking ("I love pies. That's not a state secret. And I can confirm that the Red Truck Bakery makes darn good pies.") . We ship thousands of items nationwide each year from our southern bakery in the middle of nowhere. Did I mention double-chocolate moonshine cake with real Virginny hooch?
