Dairy Farm
How excited today~! We went to a dairy farm, saw the real cow, and visited a dairy factory. The farm is family owned and operated, therefore the family does much of the monitoring and evaluating of the farm. However, the American Dairy Association does do check ups and routines to make sure the milk is safe and the dairy farm is abiding by rules and regulations.

It's so hard to listen to lecture today, because of the owner's pretty daughter~~~
The farmer/owner who spoke to our class yesterday was named Paul Clever. Him and his wife (a professor at hocking college) are the founders of the Good Earth Farm. Their overall goal and purpose before setting out to create Good Earth Farm was to provide food pantries with healthful and good quality produce. With the economy so low, there is less food being given to food pantries (I believe he said $.50/per person/per year or something outrageous along those lines). Therefore it was their mission to help provide supplemental fresh produce to pantries in order for people to not only have food but become aware and familiar to fresh, local produce. Good Earth Farm also provides a place of education and retreat for visitors.
Good Earth Farm serves 60 people a week on the produce and dairy they make. So there is a big plot dedicated to produce and to the cattle that they have. The people they serve are those who work and volunteer on the farm, but also again those local pantries. How Good Earth Farm is funded is by donations and grants. Mr. Clever mentioned how they came about the land that Good Earth sits on and it was through the generosity of his neighbors who gave it to them because they liked the goals that he set forth to accomplish. Although Paul didn't mention it, I believe the monitoring and evaluation of Good Earth Farm is done by him and his wife and maybe those who provide funding to him.

The fifteen class
Hello there,
Today we have a lecture about WIC, which is stand for women infants and children. It's an agency about providing Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. This is the website http://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/. Almost every mother could get help from this agency, including who is quite rich, they still quite qualified for that program. This agency provides nutrition education, breastfeeding education, supplemental foods, farmer market, and some classes including younger solids and old solids. The lecturer who just burned a baby few months ago, said after the birth process, she has more same feeling with those mom who need help.

The fourth one
We went to ecohouse today~~~
Beautiful sunshine~~~
The idea about ecohouse was came from three students who wanted to work for a sustaintion project while living under sustainable living situation. The students are caretakers of the home, but there is also a community garden free of cost for anyone to plot on. Annie oversees the house and the projects done by the students or any volunteers interested in helping with events/programs. It is a cool idea.

The twelveth class
Today, we went to expo, saw a lot of student expo their works, including Simin and Remi, which is quite exciting~~~
After we back at 1, Heidi Anderson gave us a good lecture about CSA, which is the agency I choose in my agency homework... That system is dependent from the government, and run by themselves. The money for that is totally from the membership... In Athens, the member of the agency paid money to the agency, and agency offered them fresh vegetable and fruit per week or twice a week, which could share the risk between the farm and the custom.

The eleven class
Today we learn a lot of stuff about Meijer- healthy living. Kristen Johnson gave us a very good lecture. She talked about her own experience in education, looking for job, and something else. The most impressive is her used part time to get the master degree, it's quite hard. Her job is full of stress, she need to travel around several state, need to work in extra hours, need to give lecture in any time, which must be quite challenge... About the healthy living, this system is sponsored by the Meijer, to help the customer better life. This is the homepage: http://www.meijermealbox.com/healthy-living. It offered a lot of easy cooking recipes, which were also healthy diet. And updated quite often.

The Ninth class
Today, we have group discussion first, then Francie Astrom gave us a wonderful speaking.
She is in the wellness center in grover, and talked a lot of stuff about wellness center. It's open for college faculty, graduate student, and component. not to all people, not including undergraduate student, which I think is not make any sense. And it has a lot of service, including food consult, person training tutor, massage, and some kind of that things. It could offer some opportunities for student to join in, and Pro Francie said she would write good recommendation~! And it's also offer GA position, which make me more interested. About the funding, part of the money is come from the membership, and the rest is separated by the government and school.

The eighth class
Today, we talked about our own assignment about the agency. So many agency, and a lot of agencies are about the milk, which is quite new to me, and I don't understand why...
WIC is quite interested me, which is a special supplemental nutrition program for women infants and children. It's funding from federally by the US department of Agriulture and distributed with each state, which means it could only help as many people a year as congress provides funds, which is quite unfair. I mean if the government decide to make a program and give a rule for who to supple, doesn't it mean everyone who is quailfy could be helped?
I learned a lot, but didn't remember a lot...

The seventh class
Today, we have a guest speaker, Nick Claussen, who is working as Community Relations Coordinator, Jobs and Family services, as part of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is a government program and the funding is directly from federal, some kind of they collect the data to federal and the federal decided how much per person to give money. This program is designed to provide "a vital supplement to the food budgets", which like 3 weeks food in a month for example, of the recipients. Everyone could get this program's help is his household's gross monthly income is at or under 130 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. And there is no nutritionist in that program, but the supple gift card or credit card can't used in alcoholic beverages, tobacco, vitamins and medicines, hot food products that are prepared to be eaten immediately, no-food items.

The sixth class for community nutrition
In today's class, the video we saw gave me great impression. How the bills become to a law. It's quite magic, everyone could offer a bill, and post to the higher level, then the present has the final decision. Also we learned something about NNMRRP which stand for national nutrition monitoring and related research program.
The fifth class for community nutrition
In that class, we learned something about how is food security measured. They have a guide to measuring household food security, and need do a lot of survey. They would ask a lot of questions such as during the past 12 months, you (and others) worried that food would run out before you got money to buy more, is it often true, or sometimes true, or never true. A lot of similar questions. I don't know, are these questions quite give a real situation to the government? The people could lie, in my opinion, if I was in this situation, it must be embarrass to let other people know that.

For second class March 29
In today's class, we learned a lot of knowledge, including community needs assessment and food insecurity.
About community needs assessment, the goal for that is to facilitate project development. And the basic step to a community needs assessment are: define the problem, set the parameters of the assessment, collect data, analyze/interpret data, share the findings, set priorities, choose a plan of action.
About food insecurity, the objective is to provide an overview of food security in the US. And we watched a part of movie.
I feel sad when I saw the mother in movie lied to her children to offer the food what they want. And from the 60 minutes, it totally changed my mind about food insecurity was far from us... We really need to pay much attention about that bad situation. I don't know what we could do to change it... I feel so lucky and happiness about what I have.

For first class (March 27)
From today's class, we learned some basic knowledge about community nutrition.
Nutrition is a huge topic, everybody cared about it. Community nutrition usually face to a group people who has the similar or common ideology.
From this class, I want to learn more nutrition knowledge faced to specific group. Because the inter nutrition we learned last quarter we learned a lot of things about basic nutrition, such as how carbohydrate become energy, I really wanna learn how to use this basic skill to specific peoples.
In my opinion, community nutrition could help people get specific nutrition needs, which is quite cool. Everybody has different nutrition needs, and the similar ideology could help nutritionist suggest some common advice to them.
