What People Are Saying About JoAnn's Classes...

.
"After attending JoAnn's classes for years, I'm still fascinated by the amount of additional knowledge that I always gain from her workshops. As a writer of one of my favorite books, Compassionate Souls, JoAnn Farb's immense expertise in the areas of health and cooking is only matched by her loving heart. I highly recommend JoAnn's work to anyone who seeks more health and vitality. "

"What Really Matters is a life changing presentation.  It will wake up any viewer to living a life of integrity and compassion.  JoAnn Farb has the perfect combination of brilliant mind and kind heart.  JoAnn is a shining example of someone who walks her talk.  She is an inspiration to everyone who crosses her path."                   
Rae Sikora
Co-founder Plant Peace Daily, Vegfund and the Institute for Humane Education

"What Really Matters is important and timely. Understanding the intersectionality of our health, the environment, and all those who share this planet with us as a social justice cause is an issue whose time has come. The days of compartmentalizing and micro-managing these issues is past. Our future depends upon it. JoAnn Farb is a clear voice in the noise of mixed messages and Orwellian doublespeak."  
Harold Brown
Former Dairy Farmer helping other farmers transitition to plant-based agriculture.

"Fascinating! Connected Veganism to social justice in a compelling way that made me look at my own diet in a different way and will likely change what goes on my plate in the future.  JoAnn Farb is a talented speaker, she was entertaining and compelling as well  as informative. " 
 Loring Leifer
Writer

"Embraced veganism as not only a diet choice, but also as a philosophy of life and an economic and environmental necessity.  JoAnn Farb's knowledge of the subject matter is impressive and delivered passionately.  I left the presentation changed and willing to re-evaluate some of the choices I have made "                                                    
 Lee Gross,
Retired Federal Reserve Operations Analyst,Programmer, Hummanist, former Omnivore

"JoAnn Farb is a dynamic force. Whip-smart and articulate, she brings passion and energy to the issues she cares about: family, diet, animals, the environment, and the rights of others. Her voice needs to be heard far and wide, with the certainty that her subject will be well-researched and expertly presented." 
Joseph Connelly,

Karin Thomas

"JoAnn Farb's presentation was informative, sincere and emotionally heart-tugging.  Well thought out and put together, her activism and passion is admirable and highly contagious!  She is one of many leaders in a very large movement, and we all have something to learn from her hard work and dedication."                                                               
Sara Glass

"Farb, a biologist and activist, urges adults to be consciously aware of the choices they make in parenting and how these are shaped by such outside influences as the media, popular culture and marketing. The author covers a number of issues, including natural childbirth, breastfeeding, animal rights and progressive education, citing research as well as personal experience to shore up her arguments in support of each."
Publisher's Weekly
Review of Compassionate Souls -- Rasing the Next Generation to Change the World

"JoAnn Farb is someone who translates her passion regarding the vegan lifestyle into a commitment of her own time and energy in order to find real solutions.  She asks us to consider why eating cows, pigs, and chickens is acceptable, whereas eating horses, dogs and cats is not, and even though this paradigm may initially offend, amuse or baffle you, it will ultimately challenge you to examine your daily choices.  JoAnn is a scientist, an author and a convincing speaker.  You will not be the same person after you have heard her presentation." 
Margaret Kramar 
Hidden Hollow Farm

"I am really glad that I took time out of my busy day to hear JoAnn Farb's presentation entitled 'What Really Matters'.  I found her to be a gifted speaker, with a provocative and engaging style.  She has a rare ability to challenge and empower her listeners to view issues from fresh, new perspectives".
