Questions for Duffield\'s Farm and School Cafeteria\'s

    For our oral history and collaborative research projects we decided to do some investigating in Pitman's school cafeterias and the food they are feeding our children. We decided as a group that we are going to go to the local farm Duffield's and interview them on some area's that will help us better understand their methods of production and what part they play in the economy in the area. Alongside of that we are going into the schools to find out if they use the local resources they have available to them and find out if they are giving our children healthy options to eat. As a group we decided that each of us needs to form a few questions that we would want to ask each of these places. Here are a set of five questions for each.

 Duffield’s Farm
1.       Are any of the vegetables you grow here organic?
2.       Is it cheaper or more expensive to grow organic produce?
3.       Do you sell to local schools in the area?
4.       Would it be beneficial to you to sell to school?
5.       Is there a method or reason to the produce you grow at your farm?

Pitman School Cafeteria
1.       Do you buy products from local farms?
2.       Are there specific calorie measurements the children must have per meal?
3.       Does your budget on food affect the way you decide what food to purchase?
4.       And if so would you choose the healthier more expensive option or processed     
          cheaper option?
5.       Have there been any recent changes in the past few years in the food that is being
          served in the schools?
6.        If so what are the changes?
