Slow Food Chicago is a member-based 501(c)-3 non-profit organization. By joining Slow Food, you support the work we do locally, nationally, and internationally.  And you become part of a thoughtful and convivial group of individuals dedicated to a more sustainable environmental and gastronomic future.

As a member you can participate in our seasonal dinners, food and farm discussions, taste workshops, cooking classes, book club, and farm tours. Your membership entitles you to advance notice of upcoming events, admission to certain members-only events, reduced admission to events open to the general public, as well as the following:

• A personal Slow Food membership card.
• An option to receive our local, national, and international email lists, which provide invitations to events, updates to important food issues, and access to exclusive on-line and off-line content.
• Discounts on merchandise including the Slow Food Guides to Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco, as well as other items.
• Access to a digital copy of the Slow Food Companion, which details Slow Food’s mission, network and projects, (an online pdf booklet available to all, both members and non-members).

Finally, those members who join at a level of $60 or more are automatically enrolled in a benefits program, which provides them with notification of exclusive offers and promotions on books, events, and other delicious food-related goods and services.

You can most easily join Slow Food Chicago through the SF USA website.
