"The mission of Slow Food is
good, clean, and fair food
at fair prices."

What is Slow Food, Anyway? "Slow Food is a non–profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 by Carlo Petrini to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.  

Each of our 80,000+ Slow Food members around the world are a part of a chapter (convivium). Our chapters, including Slow Food Utah, are the local expression of the Slow Food philosophy.  

We build relationships with producers, campaign to protect traditional foods, organize tastings and seminars, encourage chefs to source locally and provide assistance, nominate producers to participate in international events and work to bring taste education into schools.  

Most importantly, we cultivate the appreciation of pleasure and quality in daily life.  Every Slow Food member can participate in chapter activities anywhere in the world."

"The mission of Slow Food is good, clean, and fair food at fair prices. Slow Food people are connoisseurs of taste, protectors of food heritage, and champions of local producers."
