Slow Food Sacramento

Slow Food is an international organization, founded in Italy 1986, whose aim is to protect the pleasures of the table from the homogenization of modern fast food and life. Through a variety of initiatives it promotes gastronomic culture, develops taste education, conserves agricultural biodiversity, and protects traditional foods at risk of extinction.

The movement now has over 80,000 members in over 100 countries. Slow Food Sacramento is one of more than 200 chapters of Slow Food USA. Membership in Slow Food USA automatically makes you a member of Slow Food Sacramento.

The Chapter Advisory Board and Events Committee are made up of volunteers with wide-ranging experience, expertise, and interest in the Slow Food mission to promote good, clean, fair food. Events are a mix of low cost, educational events and higher-end seasonal dining opportunities. There is one fundraiser annually for partners in the local foods movement.
