Intrigued? Confused? Want to know more about the slow food movement?

Well, the slow food movement works to promote biodiversity in our food supply, gastronomic education in our communities, and facilitate connections between ethical and delicious food producers and co-producers. The movement seeks to help people rediscover excellent food and better understand where their food comes from, who makes it, and how it’s made.

So, if you’re interested in meeting the those behind the food that you eat, please come down to the Slow Food Austin event. We would love to meet you! Please see flyer below for more details.
