So we have moved on from creating a database to creating a survey that we will ask the farmers markets in order to sign them up for accepting the food stamp program. This is a complicated and intense endeavor because we must get certain questions answered that the application calls for, the organization has their own questions they want answered and then we have to make sure we follow all research procedures determined by the IRB. It has taken us about 2 weeks to get to this point.

We are starting to discuss what phone calls will be like and doing practice calls with our script in order to secure effective phone calls. The hardest part of this is working with everyone's schedules (within our group) and fitting the interviewees schedules into our calls. There are a lot of "what if's" but the group is eager to being this new phase. It is also nice when we meet each week for lunch and break bread. It's a nice time to debrief on all the individual work we've done that week
