There is a poultry farm, a dairy farm, a stone mason, a garden nursery and three farmer's stands less than a mile's radius from my
house. A horse pasture backs up to my neighborhood. Behind my house is a pond, and beyond that is a farm with goats and sheep.
My office is in the campus of the Mennonite Heritage Center and down the street from a Mennonite Meetinghouse. One of my best friends graduated from a Mennonite high school and sometimes we drive slowly to pass tractors and avoid globs of roadside horse droppings.
