Review:

“Fresh Choices is a breath of fresh air! Finally, there is a clear explanation of the connection between the choices you and I make about the food we eat and the farmers who are growing it for us. Food grown by family farmers is a good choice and David Joachim and Rochelle Davis provide some great recipes and easy solutions for finding fresh, healthy food to feed your family.” —Willie Nelson, president and founder, Farm Aid

“This outstanding work by David Joachim and Rochelle Davis is timely and long overdue. If only I had this book as my guide in navigating the twists and turns of obtaining the fresh, local, and humane foods that I can now confidently serve to our guests at the White Dog, I would have a lot fewer gray hairs.” —Kevin von Klause, executive chef/partner, White Dog Café, Philadelphia
