My name is Debra Argentina. I am a senior studying Environmental
Education at Ramapo College of NJ. For the past five years, I have been
coordinating activities at the Alternate Energy Center here on campus.
The center consists of a solar schoolhouse, a greenhouse, an organic
garden, composting area and hen house. The focus of the center is on
environmental education for campus students and younger students from
off-campus.
I am conducting research for a senior project on Community Supported
Agriculture. Any information you can send to me on the subject would be
greatly appreciated. If you run a CSA, could you possibly e-mail
information on the size, location, years in operation, amount of
subscribers, success, personal philosophy on farming and anything else you
feel is relevant. If you have information that would be easier to send by
regular mail, my address is:
Debra Argentina
343 Van Winkle Ave.
Hawthorne, NJ 07506
or dagnello@ramapo.edu
I will quickly reimburse you for the postage paid by mail.
