Welcome To Slow Food Buffalo |
||||||
Who We AreRecognizing that the enjoyment of wholesome food is essential to the pursuit of happiness, Slow Food U.S.A. is an educational organization dedicated to stewardship of the land and ecologically sound food production; to the revival of the kitchen and the table as centers of pleasure, culture, and community; to the invigoration and proliferation of regional, seasonal culinary traditions; and to living a slower and more harmonious rhythm of life. Slow Food Buffalo, the local Convivium (chapter) of the movement, is an active part of the Western New York community. We host events to raise awareness of local food producers and their products, hold educational tastings, and support local groups that share similar goals. Our mission is to have fun sharing the things we love about our home while ensuring their continued existence. |
