Bob Heffernan

Bob Heffernan is the executive secretary of the CNLA. The first half of this research was done last December, when Sabena Qualitative Research recruited four groups of specially-selected citizens in western Connecticut. The second half was finished the first week of June, with more sessions in the New Haven and greater Hartford areas. Funding for the project came from a specialty crop grant of USDA and the Connecticut Department of Agriculture. For more information on these focus groups, visit www.flowersplantsinct.com.
