Survey is here
1/9/07 Conference call
Post-call To Do list:
Everyone: Please look at the possible survey topics below and add any I forgot. I'll type up the wording for them this weekend.
*Bonnie will:*
ASAP:
- check Yahoo group settings to see why RSS feed not working
- Call butcher and ask follow-up questions: how many pounds worth of various cuts, how do they cure (and how long does that take), trotter cleaning, overall time frame of butchering
Later:
- Call David Evans and see about setting up a visit to the ranch some Sunday in the future.
- Call Hoffman Game Birds and feel out chicken bulk order
*Tracy will:*
- call Daniel and ask about division of beef shares, for comparison
*Jennifer will:*
- call Incanto chef and ask about pork offal
What should go into the mission statement:
- What the CSA model is, and why we're using it versus bulk order
- Why grass-fed ver sus grain-fed, if we go with that (and if we don't, we may end up with two CSAs ;-)
- All the reasons -- health, environmental, animal welfare — we believe in this model
Questions for survey
Actual wording to be hashed out after basics nailed down. Bonnie to look at using Zoomerang or Survey Monkey
- Pick the ideological statement that best explains your primary reason for joining this CSA: animal welfare? personal health? less dependence on fossil fuels? enivronment? taste?
- How important is: 100% pasture, versus grass-fed but grain-finished
- How far away is too far for the ranch?
- Do you want to be able to visit the farm?
- Mix of animals (healthy ecosystem)?
- Slaughtered on the farm? (incl not sure/ don't care as answer)
- One or multiple suppliers OK?
- Price important to you?
