Individual Project

For my individual project, I would like to learn how to cook using local, sustainable, and organic food available in Bloomington.  To do this, I will research the food available at Bloomingfoods, Kroger, and Marsh, through information available on their websites and by talking to store employees.  My hope is to not only gain insight into how to cook more healthy meals for myself, but to gain a greater understanding of the food markets in Bloomington (as in, where are the primary places the stores buy from, etc).  My project will include not only some new recipes that I've learned to cook, but also a write-up of the research I've done on the three main grocery stores in Bloomington, and possibly how these compare to larger, more sustainable chains such as Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, as well.
