What is Slow Food Nation and the Slow Food Movement?

Slow Food Nation is the largest food celebration in the U.S., and the event is designed to reconnect people with the source of the foods we eat.

"Slow Food Nation will feature tastings, chef demonstrations, a major conference on food values, social justice and the environment, an urban farm, a music festival and workshops, forums, films and interactive exhibits." ~ Slow Food Nation

The Slow Food movement is all about enjoying life and making informed choices about the foods you eat - taking the time to relax, learning about food sources and sustainability.

This "eco-gastronomic" movement is a worldwide effort founded in 1986 by Carlo Petrini that now has more than 80,000 members in over 130 countries. The U.S. movement alone has 15,000 members.

"Slow Food is about coming together as a food community--connecting producers and co-producers, coming together on the farm, in the market, and at the table--to create and enjoy food that is good, clean and fair." ~ Slow Food USA
