Define Your Final Project
(What are you researching? What are you producing? What will you turn in at the end of the
term as your final product?)
1) Two brochures (Summer/Spring and Fall/Winter) geared towards patients who are seen at
two chosen clinics. The brochures will provide information about harvest share program in
general and will also list produce that is offered at that time through harvest share and what
medical/health/nutritional benefits the produce contributes. It will also list the closest
harvest share site to the clinic which the brochure is distributed from.
2) An informative Email or website/link (Depending on what further communication with Mary
Smith brings) that also introduces the clinicians to the program and makes them familiar
with our goals. Suggestions on how to best prescribe this program to patients and
information on where the sites are located and why they may want to visit the sites
themselves. The brochures will also be made available to the clinicians either via email or
website, so they can view what they will be “prescribing”
