I really enjoy my drive to and from work these days (minus the carbon impact) – I live downtown Toronto and work North of the city (it’s a 30 minute drive, including traffic). It occurred to me that many from the City (and those of you reading from further away), may be curious about how [...]

Sustainable Table produced the following video in 2003: There are two more videos available on The Meatrix – Canada is mentioned in the second video (I mention this as Well Preserved is Canadian based though we are fortunate to have many loyal followers in the US and UK).

Dana and I both spent formative years in Markham (we were friends in high school though we became a couple almost 15 years after meeting).

We are dedicating this space to positive energy – if we don’t like something, we don’t spend time to focus on it. Part of that is our outlook on life and part of that is because this space is a hobby and we want it to be fun for us. We hope that we challenge [...]

They run an urban farm on one-fifth of an acre (to put that in perspective, if their lot was square it would measure approximately 93 feet at each [...]
