Thank you to all of the people who worked the line with me along the way and who helped, unwittingly, craft this book: There are too many of you to name but hopefully you see yourselves in these pages.
To the growers, producers, and advocates who bring fruit to our tables, but especially those who took the time to talk to me and share their perspectives: Agatha Achindu, Gene Garthe, Rosalinda Guillen, Mike + Pete Laing, Nikki Rothwell, and Abby Schilling.
These folks made the book possible: Kari Stuart, Sarah Billingsley, EE Berger, Mollie Hayward, Lucy Engleman, Sara Schneider, Vanessa Santos, Tia Rotolo, Ilana Alperstein, Cynthia Shannon, Keely Thomas-Menter, Jessica Ling, Tera Killip, and Steve Kim.
