Mustard Seed often has Christian connotations; is this organized by a faith group?

Supermarkets tend not to move into the downtown, and have largely vacated the downtown, because downtown real estate is expensive, and because people will drive for groceries. For those who won't/can't drive for groceries, too bad.

With that said, I think it is a mistake on the part of some well meaning groups to encourage supermarkets to move into the core. The downtown would be better served by more independent retailers, including a co-op, selling a variety of food products. More green grocers, bakeries, and butchers, in my view, would be much more welcome than yet another corporate chain.

For those who find affordable and nutritious food hard to get, buying clubs and CSAs can be organized with the support of local organizations, including a co-op, to act as depots.
