Alternate Food Sources

What you are going to do…

Do research on where you, yourself, might buy food other than your usual place.  Do this for the place in which you are currently living.  Sources might include farmer’s markets, the Oklahoma Food Coop, organic food clubs, etc.  List your sources including locations; how the food is delivered (or do you pick it up? How often?).  For farmer’s markets find out when they are open:  which months and which days of the weeks and times.  If you live in a very small town, with none of these alternate sources, what might you do if you wanted to acquire your food differently:  would you come to the city once a month for a Food Coop delivery, go down the road to a pick-your-own strawberry orchard? Online companies? I want you to identify specifics, not theoretical ideals. You must cite the food sources you will use, and I would expect at least three sources for a passing grade.

What you are going to write…

An essay up to 700 words long (but strictly no more) in which you:

Adequately cover all of the material described above. (Hint: Your total essay, including everything, should be close to 700 words in length but no more.) Use proper English grammar, spelling, and syntax to effectively communicate your research to me. Use clear logic in organizing and presenting your research, while staying on topic and focused on your task.
Effectively use an introductory paragraph to introduce the essay, and an effective summary paragraph to summarize it at the end.
Cite all references properly, both in the text and by using a Works Cited section after the summary paragraph. Include books, notes, articles, people with whom you talked, etc… using APA style (http://www.bibme.org/citation-guide/apa/ (Links to an external site.)).
Double-space and use a readable 12 point font. Upload it to the proper Canvas assignment as an MS Word file.
