We are blessed to live walking distance to Canada's largest farmer's market and try and obtain as much of our vegetables and fruit from there as possible. The surrounding Mennonite farmers have their own flour mill nearby, and so we could fulfill almost all our needs locally. Witnessing that the Mennonite community is self-sustainable with the foods they grow, offers additional encouragement to pause and ask whether we "need" or "want" something. However, I am quite sure that I do *need* coffee :) Thanks for your thoughtful writing Hadden!
