Farm 255

Is the restaurant farm 255* non-for profit? Does this question apply? If it is for profit does farm 255 make a profit? Or just break even? How much is farm 255 saving by using food from their own farm? How much are they saving by buying food from local farmers who are avoiding the use of harmful chemicals and practicing sustainable agriculture? Also what is the cost of serving local, seasonal, & sustainable food? How do you balance the cost of growing your own food and paying local farmers for their food with serving customers an economical meal that is chemically free?

Does it make a better business for the staff to work on the 255 farm? If yes how does it “translate” to the table – from home page http://www.farm255.com/.

What is the cost of having and developing a “farm enterprise”- from philosophy page http://www.farm255.com/philosophy/

This last question is not as good of a question but I wanted to through it out there. What is the cost of presenting food that goes back to the customer’s roots and the traditional family way of eating? Do more people eat traditional style foods at restraunts?- from philosophy page http://www.farm255.com/philosophy/

*farm 255’s website does not capitalize their name.

           

The University of Georgia’s Health Center Profits on Flu Shots

How much money has the UGA Health Center made on Flu shots in 2011’s winter compared to 2012s? Are they recommending people stay out of work or school for a week when they get ill? Or are people just missing a day?

“The Center for Disease Control estimates yearly flu outbreaks cost employers about $10.4 billion in direct costs of health care and absenteeism, with this season's epidemic likely to produce a much higher dollar amount”. - http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2013/01/10/worst-flu-season-in-years-could-cost.html?page=all-Worst flu season in years could cost employers billions, Houston Business Journal Article written Jan., 10, 2013.

How much has the Universities Athletic Association lost in players being out sick or playing but not as well because they were sick?

Athens and the University of Georgia’s Bus Transit System Relationship.

UGA ticket to ride Athens buses will cost more-

Posted: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 By Jennifer Moore jennifer.e.moore@onlineathens.com

“The University of Georgia will pay about 20 percent more next year for students and employees to ride Athens Transit buses - a total of about $824,000”. http://onlineathens.com/stories/062805/uga_20050628024.shtml

How much money would Athens Transit have to borrow from the Ga., government if UGA did not have a deal to pay for and use Athens Transit? How much does Athens and UGA Transit reduce car and truck traffic? How much was the Athens Transit used in 2012 compared to 2005 and 2006? Would a good question be about  fluctuations in Diesel costs.
