This is the sixth day of my research assistant role of the Youth Gardening Project. Today's location was traveling opportunities around the City of Tuskegee area. I, along with fellow research assistant Ashton Wells started the day getting the other inner-city residents' opinions and views on the Macon County Farmers Market in the form of a survey and Market Basket orders.
That experience was very interesting as we walked door-to-door of an apartment complex hoping to get our surveys completed. I felt that some people did not want to open their door in thinking we were Jehovah Witnesses. In spite of the false speculation, Ashton and I were able to have all the surveys completed.
On a good note, Ashton and I were able to have an advertisement of the Market Baskets in the Local newspaper free of charge. The paper "The Tuskegee News" will be available on stands around the Macon County area on Thursday, 21 May 2009.
