    Defining Success w David Trotta: Founder and Chef : Whealth Kitchen and Afternoon Acres shares on the power of family, saying no + stopping at ENOUGH

    David Trotta is the Founder and Chef at Whealth Kitchen, a farm to table restaurant in Jersey City, New Jersey. Whealth Kitchen began as a modest pop-up from his home and eventually expanded into a café, bakery, catering business, and meal delivery venture. Trotta is passionate not just about cooking but also about urban farming, community engagement, and food access. During the COVID‑19 pandemic, he pivoted his business model: even when the café doors closed, he kept a meal delivery service going, and he made provisions to feed those in need (no questions asked) by collaborating with food partners and community support. David is a husband, father, farmer and community leader. In his own words; "Love personal growth through professional discipline, don’t always get that one impeccably right, big family man, family over all, deeply interested in the brain and how it really works, “what the bleep” disciple, Taoist at heart and when I remember to be.
