Moosewood, Marquette Food Co-op, Sunflower Oil, Apios Americana, etc.

I am excited to try sunflower oil as a medium for cooking, as a salad dressing, etc. I have never tried it before so it will be new to me. I got 17 groundnut tubers in the mail yesterday! Can you believe the only place I found them was on ebay, haha! We are going to try and plant them in the NMU greenhouse and see if we can get them to generate more for the DDP. We are going to try some in wooden boxes with soil, and some in pots, and maybe a few in a water environment. We may be closing in on the corn and bean varieties soon. I am leaning toward including all non-gmo corn at this point, as I have yet to see any evidence that would suggest I should rule any out. We are excited about the possibility of working with Moosewood Nature Center here in Marquette as a partner. Andrew Bek is the director and will also be applying as a research subject. We are also enthused about the relationship we are fostering with the Marquette Food Co-op and other local food providers. Abbey and Sarah and Brian have been very helpful and we look forward to working with them.
