Each week on Five Things, we meet a guest who has selected five physical objects that have been resonant or important in his or her life, and we learn about that person from those things. Usually we sit in a quiet studio at Louisville Public Media, but for this week\\u2019s interview, I went to visit Tom Edwards at his business, the MozzaPi cafe. It\\u2019s a huge brick and wood space, with giant doors that open onto a peaceful wooded area. So at various times in this conversation, you\\u2019ll hear a train going by, you\\u2019ll hear the cicadas and birds outside, and you\\u2019ll hear the whoosh of a massive fridge kicking on and then off again. The cafe is just one part of Edwards\\u2019 constellation of businesses: he also owns Louismill, which mills grain into flour and grits, an artisan bread-baking school, and a catering business. But he sees his business ventures as more than just a way to earn a living -- he's got a bigger vision about the way we interact with food, with the earth, and with each other.
