From a Mennonite Brethren background-her grandparents and parents were missionaries in India-[Ruth Klahsen] has been featured in several Mennonite Savings and Credit Union articles for her unique use of community shared agriculture (CSA) techniques and for being one of the first new members who joined the Credit Union by agreeing to the Mennonite World Conference's "shared convictions" instead of by belonging to a Mennonite or Brethren congregation. When pressed, Klahsen notes that she is not worshipping as a Mennonite and has some concerns about Mennonite business practices. When she founded her first cheese factory (www.monfortedairy. com) in Millbank, Ont., a few years ago, she leased space in a building that housed several other factories like hers producing cheese with milk from Old Order Mennonite and Amish farms.
