What is Slow Food?
It is the notion that our environment, culture and economy are profoundly affected by what we choose to eat. We believe that everyone should have access to high-quality food produced in a sustainable and equitable way.
The Chicago chapter of Slow Food promotes this concept through events and programs hosted in the Chicagoland area.
As an educational non-profit, we rely on your membership and support to find our initiatives. Learn more.
