Fresh from the Farm  http://freshfromthefarm.ca/

Through Fresh from the Farm we get meat and poultry products.. Fresh from the Farm sells products that come from Mennonite, Amish and Quaker farms in Ontario. Cattle and poultry are raised with traditional farming methods so they are hormone-free, chemical-free, free range. Using these products is not just a matter of taste, but it is also prove that chemical-free farming is achievable, better for your health and for the farmer's health, and strengthens the ties of communities, both urban and rural, that understand a social based economy is better than a corporate based economy.
Throughout Latin America members of the Mennonite church support consicence objectors whose beliefs inform them as contrary to holding arms against their fellow citizens. They also develop important work with communities in cities and rural areas where the threat of outsider violence and forced displacement is present.

St. John´s Bakery  http://www.stjohnsbakery.com/stjohnsbakery/html/bakery.html- The following overview is taken from their website -

St. John's Bakery is one of Toronto's finest and most unique artisan bakeries. The bread we bake is made in the French style using recipes that come from a small village bakery in the French province of Brittany. We use certified organic flour, much of it supplied by Ontario Mennonite farmers.
We serve as a training ground for people on the margins of society seeking some work experience. Bakery workers have included refugees, people struggling with addictions, people with emotional troubles or mental illness, single parents struggling with poverty as well as the mentally handicapped.
Our bakers have an ongoing relationship with  a community in Brittany involving exchanges of bakers, recipes and techniques.
