What drives the local food market?

That’s what we are setting out to answer with a new survey targeted towards consumers who purchase local foods from farmer’s markets and local CSA’s. Funded through Department of Ecology’s Floodplains by Design grant program, the survey is being created with the help of Bellingham’s Peak Sustainability Group and University of British Columbia graduate student Anna Santo.

The survey will ask people questions such as —- and —-. Surveys will be distributed via Farmer’s Market email lists, in CSA boxes, and potentially in person at markets.

Do you purchase from or own a CSA that we might be able to use for survey distribution? Let us know! Please contact Kari Quaas with suggestions or questions: kquaas@snohomishcd.org.
