Hi, My name is Melissa Click and I'm a researcher at the University of Missouri, Columbia who is are interested in gaining an understanding of the role that food preservation (canning, freezing, pickling, etc.) plays in peoples' lives today. I'm writing in the hopes that you will be willing to complete an online questionnaire, as well as pass the survey along to others.
I'm hoping for a wide range of responses from as diverse a group as possible - those who preserve food for pleasure, for business, for community; people who have done it once or been doing it for years, etc. Participating should take about 15-20 minutes of your time, depending upon the length of your responses. Your participation is voluntary and you may stop at any time. To access the survey, please click on this link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=oLDvHaZ7H3K5AQVeSRZkKg_3d_3d, read the consent form on the survey's first page and begin the survey if you agree to its conditions. Your identity will not be revealed in transcripts, written documents, or verbal presentations of the data. Please feel free to forward this message to others who are interested in preserving food, and in food culture and politics more broadly. If you know people who might want to participate but who don't have access to the Internet, I will be happy to send them a hard copy. Thank you so much for your time!
