Project Description:
The Edible Corvallis Initiative is a program of the Corvallis Environmental Center that mobilizes our community to make local, fresh, and healthy food available to all. The first date will be working with our Farm to School Tasting Table Program. Once a month, volunteers convene to prepare a dish that features the Oregon Harvest of the Month, that is then distributed to the 11 schools for a monthly sampling of a locally grown food. No cooking experience is necessary to participate! The second date will be working at SAGE Garden, a 1-acre production and education garden.The food grown at SAGE is donated to local food banks and soup kitchens–providing fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables to families in our community who cannot afford them.
Each Group consists of a Group Leader with up to five other group members.
All members of the group are required to attend the actual work site and work. Then you can divide up the Group Project Paper writing and Group Presentation as you wish.
GROUP LEADER Responsibilities:
1. Contact the “contact person” the first week of classes.
2. Be sure that all group members are aware of the project date and location and plan to show up.
3. Organize the group—which group members will produce the written report and which group members will
prepare the oral presentation.
A class presentation on the project will be required at the end of the term. This presentation is accompanied by a 500 word report to be turned in at the same time. The report requirements will be outlined by your TA during a Group Project Workshop recitation in Week # 8.
