This thread is just so ME!! I shop and cook for my neighbourhood, they pick up their dinners up on the way home from work. I feed some single moms, bachelors, a few couples who work ridiculous hours, a few housebound people (deliveries). It's quite a nice community thing too, since the neighbours come in and sit around. Organic and local produce when possible, definitely all fresh... recycled containers (sanitizer on the dishwasher)
Eventually everything will be local.
