What is Slow Food?


Slow Food links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment.

Slow Food (as opposed to “fast food”) highlights the importance of food that is local, seasonal, and fresh.  Slow Food is good for the people who eat it, good for those who grow and harvest it, and good for the land and water.

Our chapter of Slow Food USA promotes the “foodshed” of South Jersey and its abundant harvest from our Farms, the Delaware Bay & the Atlantic Ocean. Within the Slow Food South Jersey Shore chapter, we are all volunteers.

Slow Food is a worldwide movement that is represented by Slow Food USA www.slowfoodusa.org and Slow Food International.
