Could you tell us a little bit more about different experiences that you've had?
14:31
I was able to attend Terra Madre, a slow food gathering, in 2007 as part of Slow Food International and Slow Food Saskatchewan.
14:40
And I remember going to the last Canada gathering, it was a Canada picnic on the last day, and meeting in Turin, Italy.
14:47
a couple who would become my pork producers, my pork suppliers for my restaurant.
14:52
I had a small restaurant in Birch Hills, Saskatchewan, in the middle of farm country.
14:57
And just thinking, oh my goodness, I had to travel to Europe to meet someone who was 80 kilometers away from my restaurant.
15:05
So I like to stay local.
