There is something special about knowing where the milk you're drinking comes from or learning about how long that special loaf of bread you can't live without takes to bake. With a society obsessed with mass consumption and instant gratification, it's good to know there is still a place for quality and care. Nowhere is this more evident than at Hazel Food Market in Pretoria.
