Dave Brummet created this beautiful 34 second video trailer for our cookbook,  From One Small Garden - Over 300 Delicious Nutritious Recipes , recently... and I am so proud of what he created.  * He has, in fact, created 3 different trailers for this book - this one focuses on the fact that what we choose to consume has a direct impact on poverty, local economy, the purity of our water, the health of our land, small business and our own well being. Our diet can have a positive impact on the world!

I do not believe there is anyone who works a job and is better than or less than anyone else. Choice #4: Choose to prioritize
