http://arc.sdsu.edu/Erin, Holly and Tara had an efficient meeting with R.D. Williams and Brian Wynne (from Dining Services) this past week. We established a tentative mission for our Farmers' Market:
Tentative Mission: The Farmers Market at San Diego State University and student organizations are committed to providing the students, faculty, staff, and nearby community with local food, as well as, whenever possible, organic and sustainable food options . This will be done along with promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. Our market promotes ecological, economic and a sustainable food supply.
We discussed the vendor selection, setting dates for vendors to ban Styrofoam/sale of water bottles, e3's permanent involvement, possible names for the FM, recycle bins at the market, and our new consulting plans. Each vendor will have an e3 exec as their consultant. We will build a personal relationship with the vendors, and will help them and be there for them. We also would love to see Thursdays as a health day at SDSU. We are looking into having bands play every week, a yoga session, and an area where students can eat together (we're going to tiedye sheets and place them on the lawn). Next semester we may change the time of the market and the location, but we are waiting to make that decision.
If you have any additional ideas for our Farmers' Market please let us know.
