The Spinach King: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty

by John Seabrook, Dion Graham (Narrator)

The riveting saga of the Seabrook Family, by one of the New Yorker 's most acclaimed storytellers.

The patriarch, C. F. Seabrook, was hailed as the "Henry Ford of Agriculture." His son Jack, a keen businessman, was poised to take over what Life called "the biggest vegetable factory on earth." But the carefully cultivated facade—glamorous outings by horse-drawn carriage, hidden wine cellars, and movie star girlfriends—hid dark secrets that led to the implosion of the family business.

At the heart of the narrative is a multi-generational succession battle. It's a tale of family secrets and Swiss bank accounts, of half-truths, of hatred and passion―and lots and lots of liquor. The Seabrooks' colorful legal and moral failings took place amid the trappings of extraordinary privilege. But the story of where that money came from is not so pretty.

A compelling tale of class and privilege, betrayal and revenge―three decades in the making―The Spinach King explores the author's complicated family legacy and the dark corners of the American Dream.

Reviews

[Brendan (History Nerds United) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Farming is really hard. It is a lot easier, though, when you take advantage of your workers and your own family. This all becomes quite evident when reading John Seabrook's The Spinach King. There is actually not a lot of spinach in it which is great because I hate vegetables.

Seabrook is quite close to this story, because the farming family he is writing about is his own. His grandfather, C.F., and his father Jack are the two main characters who veer into Shakespearean tragedy. See C.F. could be credited with both making Seabrook Farms a viable company and then also destroying it single-handedly in an effort to ruin his own sons. The author also uncovers some very dirty family secrets, which I won't outline here.

There is certainly a compelling story at the center of the book. Seabrook bounces a bit between the years with his father and then back in time to before he was born and C.F. ruled the roost. There is a multitude of threads for Seabrook to follow, and it is the only real criticism I have of the narrative. The author writes compelling prose, but the most recent sections read very different from the historical ones. For instance, there are many humorous asides when the author recounts contemporary happenings. This fun aspect is almost completely missing from historical sections. Also, the back and forth in time is not uniform, so one plot thread may be gaining steam and then you are suddenly shunted away from it.

Overall, I very much enjoyed this book even with my minor quibble about the flow at times. It is definitely worth a read if you enjoy a combination of memoir and business history.

A very fine effort by author John Seabrook who documents a fascinating look in the family memoir about Seabrook Fams, one of the early food giants in America. Seabrook investigates his families known and hidden history, a history that began in England and with his great-great grandfather who was erased from history by the authors greart grandfather - not exactly sure as to why that occurred but is most likely due to the fact that his line of Seabrooks were serfs in England, and not related to the plutocratic Seabooks from South Carolina. We follow how AP and CF Seabrook built a small tract of land into a massive vegetable company and how CF was compared to Henry Ford thanks to his automation of the industry. Eventually AP is pushed out by CF, CF gives control to his sons (the authors dad and uncles) and then takes it back and sells the business. It is a story of power and pride, a story of blacks and Japanese Americans who worked on the farm for slave wages, so that the familly could like like kings. The author details his fathers massive clothing closet, his coaching/carriage obsession, the huge wine collection, as well as how his dad was part of Grace Kelly's entourage at the wedding to the Prince of Monaco. And lets not forget about his dads affair with Eva Gabor! This is an eye-opening look at one families wealth and power, and some of the hidden secrets along the way.
A definite 4.5**** for me!!

[Moonkiszt · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is certainly a soup to nuts read, my friends. The pendulum swings wide, and kept me fascinated from the very beginning. John Seabrook is telling us not just a story of food history, of how we got to where we are with how it's done, he's telling all about his own family, not sparing a thing. Every juicy bit is here. Eva Gabor is naked.in.their.pool.

What's that got to do with Spinach? Hmm. You'll just have to crack the book open and read. It's a very worthy read. I highly recommend it.

A book which looks at the authors family business from its roots to bankrupt and restarting to finally being sold and all of the family dynamics and the political fallout. seabrook tries to be objective in his view learnt alot as well about this early frozen food company as well.

[Caleb Fogler · Rating 3 out of 5]

Spinach King is the forgotten story of America’s agriculture dynasty, the Seabrooks, from their rise to their fall. The patriarch, C. F. Seabrook was often called the Henry Ford of agriculture and helped bring new farming technologies to New Jersey before scaling up these technologies to mass produce American agriculture. He often operated his farm like the industrialists of his time with providing cheap housing for his workers, brutally breaking up worker unions, and constructing shady business practices and deals with corrupt politicians.

C. F. Seabrook was the most interesting member of this family and by far the worst. He was racist and greedy among many other things, but I felt the other members just weren’t as controversial and kinda boring. The author is actually the grandson of C. F., but doesn’t hold back when exposing the dark secrets of his family’s and personal history.

Overall it’s an interesting bit of American history and how the “Spinach King” introduced America to frozen vegetables. The story at times does feel disjointed and choppy, and I wasn’t really interested in the author’s personal struggles at the end.

[Gail · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book is a privileged child's airing of the family laundry. There is very little about the agricultural and industrial business and how it developed. Almost nothing about the innovative processes. It is well written if you are interested in gossip and how the wealthy live their lives.

[Andi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Part therapy, part vendetta, this is an engrossing page turner! Princeton connection, social history, business history, history of food production, lifestyles of the uber-wealthy, stranger than fiction intra-family relations: something to appeal to everyone! Longer review may come in the future.

[Bethany Hanson · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting look into the family behind a big name in farming.

The book is written about the author’s own family. It’s full of extra details that only a family member would know. I like that it connects people to the author, for example by his saying “my grandfather.” That helps make the story real. The evolution of farming with the introduction of irrigation and “truck farming.” I particularly enjoyed the discussions about production during and after wars.

The biggest negative for me was the glossing over certain things. Black workers lived in tents. The book mentions one black worker that had lived in a tent there for 20 years. That person is never mentioned again. Did he get moved into the other housing? Did he continue working on the farm? It seems that black workers were just thrown into the book to show that different races worked on the farms. The writing is almost defensive of the fact that his ancestors were anti-Semitic and racist. Frankly, the book is full of family gossip. I was expecting more information on the farm, not name dropping and discussions about fur coats and horse drawn carriages.

It’s an interesting read if you’re into family drama. This book isn’t for you if you’re hoping for a non-fiction book about a topic you don’t know much about aka spinach farming.

Well, I enjoy John Seabrook in The New Yorker, and Dion Graham is one of my favorite audiobook narrators, so picking up this audiobook was a no-brainer, and it did not disappoint. John Seabrook is a gifted storyteller, and this time he writes about his own family, an expose on the family business, started by his grandfather, C.F., and follows its growth into an agricultural empire. We are taken into the privileged world of WASP aristocracy and hobnob with celebrities like Eva Gabor. We also see the dark side of American business, with the exploitation of immigrant workers, black laborers, and Japanese Americans from WWII internment camps, to the violence of Ku Klux Klan strikebreakers employed by C.F. One of my top non-fiction reads of the year so far!

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s like Succession, but for vegetables.

This is a fascinating story about the rapid innovation of agriculture and food in America, egos and legacy, and the crumbling of a family too focused on getting ahead. It’s all the more fascinating that it’s told from the perspective of the grandson of the founder of Seabrook Farms, which had its fair share of ups, downs, corruption, racism, and crimes. The end is unexpected and beautiful, revealing a family legacy you could not have predicted. Further evidence of why everyone should go to therapy.

As I was reading, I found myself wanting to share this book with my own grandfather, who never had to choose between family and his entrepreneurial endeavours ♥️ He also would have loved the wild (and at times deranged) prestige the Seabrooks chased and nerded out about the farming practices.

[Lily Black · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really interesting story into the lore of a SJ empire. Crazy to think so much power and wealth was lost over such trivial things like family disputes and lack of control. A lot of research went in to conveying such stories but at times it felt discombobulated trying to keep the flow of the narrative. The family history was juicy at its worst but I often times got lost waiting for the next big bombshell to happen. In the end, I learned a lot about an area so close to my home and was gladly uplifted and the close.

[Rebekah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is wonderfully and painfully understated. Come for the family drama, stay for the subtle one-liners that catch you off-guard and leave you wincing.

Additionally, I've never had a book leave me wanting to try creamed spinach before...

This dude is primed and ready to spill the tea on his own family for a book deal. Good stuff here! I’m always interested in a PU connection of course

[William Fitch · Rating 2 out of 5]

Just unreadable bordering on laughable . Truly the vapid airing of the families dirty laundry while scolding himself that he shouldn't be doing so, and everyone will be mad at him, but does so anyway. A weird way to attract the father's attention even if that attention is negative.
Family apparently pioneered some very interesting farming and freezing techniques but these are glossed over. Family company committed atrocious acts (tear gas / KKK level stuff) towards just about every ethnicity and immigrant, excepting the Irish I guess, and it's glossed over. Company regularly goes bankrupt, comes back, CF dashes off to Russia to build roads, roads fall apart, comes back, bankrupt, back again and still all glossed over.
Truly the best parts of the book are the fathers (CF? JS? JSJ? can't keep track) automated closet with 600 suits and the loving descriptions of fabrics, the super cool wine cellars (with hidden wine cellar), and the descriptions of pomp and circumstance around alcohol(ic). Tying your son's worth, self esteem and future to a wines vintage year is manipulation and unhinged at a whole new level.
Seabrook could have saved my time and his efforts by just getting some therapy, saying Dad I am worthy, please love me, then decanting a 1959 Château Lafite, while sipping on a hand crafted martini. Now that sounds like Nimrod level fun.
Sorry WSJ but you missed on this one.

[3.5 stars rounded down]

Following four generations of a family business (ending with the author’s father in the 90s), The Spinach King is a deep dive into what it looked like to industrialize the farming industry in the mid-century, the ways an all-powerful patriarch can control a family and his business, and an airing out of the author’s family drama. I went into this book primarily for a story about industrialization, secondly to have some fun with running through his family’s drama, and I did not really care about any more memoir-ish sections of the novel. I think I got what I wanted out of it with an incredible narrative style and handling of facts throughout the whole book.

The book starts slowly. And kinda badly. We are introduced to JM Seabrook - the author’s father and the youngest son of his generation - as the author knew him in his adult years. We learn about his passion for horses and coach riding, his impressive collection of suits, and the home’s very large wine cellar. It all comes back nicely as we continue through the novel, but it is a very slow and (at the time) seemingly unnecessary beginning to the rest of the story. The end of Part One gets better as it sets up the speech that JM gave in memory of his father CF Seabrook and the struggle that he had in writing it (the author’s assistance to his father is the beginning of his writing of this book). As I said, I understand that this provides necessary characterization and some future context to the rest of the book, but I really did think about putting this down. There is no need to spend pages on talking about the expansive suit collection of his father, only to start talking next about the expansive wine collection of his father (or vice-versa). Push on, though, and the rest of the story, and the author’s narrative skills, really pick up.

After Part One, we get a full exploration of the family, going back to their ancestors in England (though we very swiftly move on from there). The author explores the crossing over ancestor, his plight in America, and how the family came to settle in Deep South Jersey. As I said earlier, I picked up this book mostly for the tale of industrialization and especially what it takes to industrialize a profession that feels so distant to industrialization. I felt that Seabrook gave the perfect amount of information to be understandable to someone very unfamiliar with these processes while staying concise and on-target. I am the type of person who enjoys the intense amount of details given, so I had no problem when the author started listing off specifics such as exactly how many acres of farm CF had installed the Skinner System (irrigation) onto and what crops it served. I also especially enjoyed the section on how the farm was commissioned by the US Government in WWII to bring dehydrated foods overseas for troops and how subsequently back home this led in part to the boom in frozen food purchases. However, if you’re more into the family secrets and rich people drama side of this book, this section will probably be decently boring to you (the same way that the details on courting and relationships later was to me). For me, though, this was exactly what I was looking for in this part of the story. I was impressed with how clear and concise he kept the writing while also never skimming over the interesting details. It’s a hard balance to make that I felt Seabrook hit perfectly.

The author is good at giving little glimpses of future chapters in earlier ones. We hear mentions of the workers strike several chapters before the author’s dive into its events. Part One ends with JM revealing the probable stroke his father experienced, but it does not come up again until much later in the story. It is good at both building up on the semi-framing device of the first part and keeping the readers’ attention.

One aspect that I was not expecting was the amount of historical and developmental story about the area and its people. Seabrook Farms was nearly (essentially) a company town. Workers paid rent to housing that the Seabrooks owned, roads and buildings were built by the Seabrooks’ engineering company, and workers sent their children to the newly built school that the Seabrooks had set up. They ran the entire county. Coupling this with the fact that nearly all of their workers were either (mostly European) immigrants, Black Americans moving from the South, and Japanese Americans following their time in internment camps during WWII, the Seabrooks (especially CF in this regard) held a very high amount of control over their workers. The author is not afraid to discuss his father’s and grandfather’s treatment of these workers, their poor wages and living conditions, the ways that they played the different groups off of each other through segregation and obvious preferences, or the differing ways that they and their descendants view Seabrook Farms (the speech that concludes Part One was given to groups of Japanese Americans honoring CF’s memory, for instance). This all came to head in a long strike by the Seabrook workers and the subsequent strike breaking enacted by the family and their hired hands. There was so much more depth and interesting parts of this section that I really was not expecting and I was impressed by the skill of the author in compiling it all in such a great order. There was never too much information given too quickly nor did it slog along in all the recollection.

It's unfortunate that I'm so uninterested in the love lives and dramas of these rich people that, even though I can acknowledge that he still writes these sections well, I'm bored. The skill in writing these accounts is still very strong and perfectly detailed, but it’s just not my favorite topic in the world. I try not to hold that too much against the book, as it is definitely a preference thing to me, but I also rate largely based on my own enjoyment. Still, anyone who is interested in the ways that the heir to a large mid-century American family business spends his time in NYC, starts a relationship with a notable actress, is invited to fancy events including the wedding of the Prince of Monaco, and so forth, will enjoy Seabrook’s telling of these events. It also becomes interesting later to compare this JM to the older JM we meet at different points in the novel. For me, though, it becomes a bit of a bore to read about the initial courting and first dates of the actress by JM, followed by the initial courting and dates of the author’s mother by JM.

The novel ends on a weird tone. I get that the point is to show off where the generation is now and honoring the next one as a part of the saga, but it rubbed me the wrong way how the author tied in his family’s guilt to how they treated their black workers in the past with his choice to adopt a black toddler from Haiti (especially when he mentioned that she would be leaving her biological mother behind). I don’t want to let my own dislike of white people going to other countries to adopt not white children get in the way of my review - the author is a grown man, he can do what he wants - but it left a bad taste in my mouth personally. I thought that the section prior to this where he discusses his alcoholism following his father’s death to be a much stronger end point, especially with how he relates it back to his father’s wine cellar and his grandfather’s own abuse of substances, and I wish he had kept it with that.

Overall, a fun novel if you know that you will be interested in one of its two main parts (industrialization or rich people drama and family secrets). Seabrook writes very skillfully throughout. The audiobook is done by Dion Graham who is one of the best ever, so I highly recommend it if that’s your style.

[Romulo Perez-Segnini · Rating 3 out of 5]

The subtitle is misleading: “The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty.” I think the author should have borrowed J.D. Vance’s subtitle on his book or be inspired by it: “A Memoir of a Family in Culture in Crisis.”

There is no “fall” like the Vanderbilts that squandered a fortune, here’s a very dysfunctional functional family with a strong minded cruel patriarch that prefers to sell the company and give the money to charity than to his kids that helped grow the business.

The first half was very entertaining with amusing stories about wine and other unrelated issues but half way through it became a page-filler with prolonged descriptions that added little to the main plot. There’s three-four chapters about the 1934 strike that could be a revelation to the author about his family’s history but just boring to the reader. There’s a couple of chapters about Grace Kelly’s wedding, interesting to those that follow the royals but not to other people. Great details about the Gabor sisters, not that interesting either.

Strange that there are three-four chapters AFTER the epilogue!

Other confusing elements of the writing is the continuous jumping back and forth in time. Also that the many ways he refers to his father, sometimes it’s “father”, other times “Jack”, or “JMS”. Just stick to one.

The ending is bizarre with his admittance of being an alcoholic. It would be nice to have included that sooner so we can relate to the character earlier.

It’s hard to relate to any of the characters, surely not the author that seems more whinny than anything else. The patriarch definitely not. The dad was a playboy then at best a distant father. Maybe the mom, but she was just an afterthought in the narration. His siblings barely mentioned.

It seems this book was homework from his therapist to find peace with his upbringing.

[Gabrielle (Estel.Edits) · Rating 5 out of 5]

flow with all the layers - historic context, family history, personal thoughts, etc - felt smooth and easy to follow as someone completely unfamiliar with the area

I would have liked more detail about the author's father after the farm, but I understand the focus is more on the family as an empire. Just more of my curiosity with Jacks cheat dealings and any of the authors memories of it.

CF Seabrook is a very controversial figure, and I think the author did a good job showing why even those treated poorly by CF may put CF on a pedestal despite everything.

I also enjoyed the themes of not really knowing the true about an ancestor. When the only ones who know what truly happened are gone, it's often the next generation who tries to fit together the gray area pieces.

[Lindsey Bluher · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was well written and incredibly well narrated (if you’re going to read this, the audiobook is a must) but going in, I had *no idea* this was written by a member of the family. I was expecting something different than a detailed family history which is on me—I should have done more research. I found it on the boring side because of all the family details that felt at times unnecessary to the main storyline. That said: I enjoyed the author’s writing and will be checking out one of his other books at some point.

[Alexandria · Rating 3 out of 5]

okay. I didn't know anything going into it, but thought it was interesting to see a snippet into it. it was longer than my patience though. overall kinda got too much. I think I would've enjoyed it more if it weren't written by someone in the family reconciling.

[Chris Tate · Rating 2 out of 5]

Story was all over the place and the author doesn't seem to have a handle on what makes his family story interesting. He spends most of the book talking about his family's flaws but it just isn't that compelling. It seems like there are interesting characters here but nothing really sticks. The author is a New Yorker writer and this feels like an overly long article in the middle of the magazine that I'd normally skip, stretched out into a whole book. Not recommended

A New Jersey Classic for the Garden State residents.
Seabrook was the Henry Ford of Frozen Vegetables Farm 🥗 during WW2. Charles F Seabrook changed the landscape of frozen vegetables. They were grown , packaged and distributed from southern Jersey , Seabrook Farms. Then known as The Garden State due to this richness.

“Redneck Shanghai-La”



The author is a Great story teller and a close relation to the original Seabrook family. I listen to this novel and it was very interesting and informative. Although many serious topics were approached, Japanese war prisoners as field help, segregation, it was an enjoyable book.

[Miriam Fisher · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was very interested in reading this book because I grew up in South Jersey and have a Japanese American colleague actually mentioned in the book who was a child whose parents worked at Seabrook during an after the World War II.

Unfortunately, the author suffers from what many authors of non-fiction suffer from, and therefore make us the readers suffer from, which is to say he tells you every single detail of every single piece of paper that he came across in conjunction with writing the book! Really a little editing would’ve been a good idea!

The book is primarily about the author’s father Jack Seabrook, who spent his life thinking about his 150 bespoke suits and 500 bespoke shirts that he kept in a dry cleaner like system in a gigantic closet; his 600 bottles of wine in his elaborately constructed wine cellar; and Driving horse drawn carriages. All of these are described in excruciatingly and boring detail. Maybe the author does it intentionally to show how fatuous the life was lived by his father.

If you're not from New Jersey or a Seabrook avoid this book. It's scattered and dull. Makes me never want to read anything recommended by NPR again.

Hmmm! This is an interesting look at some frozen food innovations and much else- but it is actually titled incorrectly. It's a John Seabrook memoir. Me, me, me despite most of the copy focusing upon the lives of his grandfather and father. Very strong, bombastic, domaineering individuals (both) indeed! And the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree either in arrogance and/or knowing better snark.

It taught me immense details about Southern New Jersey that I didn't know at all. Mainly re the soil, composites of ground formations, vegetable farming needs and truck farming as it existed in the 75-100 years before the 1959 demise period. NYC and Boston being straight under a day period routes of sale plus the other details of making this area what it was, became, and what is there now.

The author's attitude and slant to observations is well done as his prose flow of English is both witty and super precise in articulation of appearances, conversations, the physical surrounds etc. It is easy to grasp deep cognition to family situations and hierarchy of business parlays too.

These were innovators in the immense sense of taking risks. Lots of money/loans ventured. Complete loss and eviction occurred for his birth family once. It was informative about growth of vegetables, the people needed to do this work (do I know it as I grow many crops, like green beans which are killers to harvest- and you can't do it all in one time period either). He made a Seabrook town for many groups at loose ends (DP's or Japanese camp aftermath) and entire cultural/ physical changes in New Jersey in a very short time period. Much change. Seabrook Sr. was a builder, builder, builder. He even built a railroad and highways for the Seabrook town access.

Well, if you like to read about clothes (formal, hand made or very expensive British origin), French wines, or how the entrepreneur of that period hobnobbed with the English gentry (or movie star actresses) and the travel habits of the cruise ships between continents- this may interest you in some detail there too. But honestly, I thought it was at least a 4 star until I got to more, and more and more John Seabrook snark along the way. I do know something about competition between brothers. This didn't parse that aspect as it should have even to a 3 star level. Closer to 2. And he did NOT do his Mother or his 2 brothers any justice in the telling of this. They remained mere ciphers. His Dad, Jack, was the crux tale- his grandfather and the labor movement mere background.

[Vicuña · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a UK reader ( listener), I found this account absolutely gripping. The narration throughout was excellent and what I thought might be rather dull turned into a truly illuminating peek into a side of America that was new to me. I’d never heard of the Seabrook family; interesting to note their British origins, well researched by the author. I certainly knew little about spinach, asparagus and salad crop production and found the industrial farming aspect incredible. From ‘bootstrap’ beginnings, this dynasty grew into one of the largest producers in the world. The scale is beyond imagination almost, but development of the farming came at a cost. Japanese POWs, former doctors, business people etc herded into concentration camp conditions and paid 50c an hour for long days with one day off a fortnight. Appalling conditions which applied to other workers too. Uncomfortable truths began to emerge and made parts of this a very difficult story to take in. Whilst one side of the Seabrook family was living in almost unimaginable wealth, well into the late 20th century, their employees were struggling in poor conditions on low pay and with a labour force reliant upon migrant workers.

Seabrook deals with this aspect well; he recognises the conflict, doesn’t ignore it and leaves it to the reader to make their own judgement. The family was always aware of the ‘clogs to clogs in three generations’ saying and the fallout was almost inevitable. The patriarchs were cold and often insensitive and it’s to the author’s credit that he’s broken the mould. I particularly enjoyed the detail around pad the home life in the mid to late 20th century. A house built with extraordinary wealth had carriages and horses for competitive carriage riding, along with mechanical wardrobes that held hundreds of garments. An idiosyncratic and rather obsessive collection, but fascinating nevertheless. A great story, well to,d and I enjoyed it immensely over a couple of sittings.
