This was the first day of the course. We covered some of the basic goals and objectives we hope to accomplish this quarter.  The portion of the class I am ost excited about, is the actual farming portion.  I have maintained a small garden in the past and I am excited to get back into it.  I also like the idea that the produce we grow will be donated.  That concept seems to embody the idea of community nutrition and giving back to your community.  The community portion of the course also sounds very exciting. There is many aspects of community nutrition that are very unfamiliar too me, so this will be a very valuable learning experience. I am excited to hear from all the different speakers who are representing some of the organizations that help throughout the Appalachian region.  Overall, I think the course is going to be very interesting and help development my understanding of what community nutrition encompasses.
