So my group decided to use google.docs to publish our website instead of a new weebly. It was hard for me to figure out at first, but then I got the hang of it. The site is not set to public yet, but when it is I will post the link in a blog and/or tweet (@linzz88).
In other research updates, I went to Trader Joe's yesterday to find some meat companies that I could include as suggestions for my part of project. I found a couple decent options, and I even got to talk with one of the friendly employees about their farms. I asked them about their name-brand, and he actually told me that he can't say what major company they are affiliated with. He said, "TJ's is pretty closed-lip about their farms." I didn't push him to tell me more, but he was able to tell me that most of their meats come from local farms in Pennsylvania, and their organic yogurt is produced by a major name brand company. My husband seemed to think it was WaWa farms, but that was just a guess. I think it may be Yoplait or something of the sort. Overall, I'm glad I made the trip out there. I always forget how great that store is.
This Friday, April 22, my group also has an interview the Natural Health food store in Blackwood. We will either be interviewing the owner or another regular staff member, so our questions may vary a little. Our interview questions thus far are:
1 .) How long has the store been here?
2.) Why did you want to start/start working at a store like this?
3.) What kinds of things did you eat growing up?
4.) Has your food lifestyle and choices changed drastically from working/starting this store?
5.) How well does your family eat?
6.) What is your favorite product the store sells?
7.) What is your favorite company that the store carries?
8.) What makes the store carry one brand over another?
9.) What are some top sellers in the store?
10.) How has business been over the years?
11.) Right now in the struggling economy?
12.) Do you think the store will ever expand with another location?
13.) What is some advice you can offer new consumers of all natural and organic foods?
In putting together my project, I also found this interesting video.
