Slow Food Utah
A Slow Food USA Convivium
Welcome to the table! We inspire individuals and communities to change the world through food that is good, clean and fair for all.
As the Slow Food movement grows, we stay true to these core values for all:
Good
- Believe that delicious nutrition is a right for everyday life
- Cultivate joyful connections to community and place
- Advocate for diversity in ecosystems and societies
Clean
- Protect natural resources for future generations
- Help people and the environment depend on each other
- Promote food that is local, seasonal, and sustainably grown
Fair
- Build local cooperation and global collaboration while respecting all laws
- Require no prerequisite or credential for participation
- Fight for dignity of labor from field to fork
Slow Food USA is part of the global Slow Food movement creating dramatic change in more than 160 countries. In the US, there are more than 150 local chapters and 6,000 members. Join us to connect the pleasures of the table with a commitment to the communities, cultures, knowledge, and environment that make this pleasure possible.
Our local chapter in Utah was founded in 2001. We are a passionate group of volunteers, working hard with local farmers, chefs, and foodies to build a community in Utah based on good, clean, fair food. We gather at tasting events, farm mobs, harvest dinners, workshops, and more – bringing local producers together with local eaters to celebrate tradition and diversity in our shared table. Join us!
