INT 95 Event #2

The second INT 95 event I participated in was the FSSP day trip to the Isla Vista Food Co. Op, which is a cute little grocery store on Seville Road. The owner of this grocery store talked to us about what her company is all about. Basically, this is a local store that sells healthy, organic food and donates a portion of the yearly funds back to the community, such as UC Santa Barbara. She was so enthusiastic and dedicated to her company and all the employees were so nice and helpful too; it was a great environment to explore. After she talked to us about the Isla Vista Food Co. Op, we were able to sample different food the store sold. Everything was soooo good, especially the different types of hummus! There was also a platter of organic fruits, like peaches and apples, and one of non-organic fruits, and the difference it taste was so different! The

organic fruit, which is also what I am accustomed to eating at home, was so good and sweet in comparison to the non-organic fruit.
Overall, I am really thankful I participated in this event. When I move out to Isla Vista hopefully next year, it is convenient to know where all the best food places are to get groceries at. I even have a "one dollar off your five dollar purchase!" coupon from it in my dorm room right now!
