Over 50
shops, restaurants, pubs and other firms are being invited to help start a
local Slow Food group in the town.
Slow Food is an international organisation that links the pleasure
of food with a commitment to community and the environment by promoting local,
seasonal produce and reconnecting people with where their food comes from.
It is a
not-for-profit movement in which local groups, run by volunteers, organise a
variety of events alongside local food and drink producers and chefs.
Membership
is open to individuals, however businesses and other organisations can also
become Slow Food supporters and/or partners to help organise and promote group
activities.
Each
group determines its own aims and activities, which could include ideas such
as:
-
Helping to develop kitchen gardens in local schools
- Sensory
taste education workshops for children and adults
- Local
gastronomic tours: visits to local farms, food artisans, specialty stores and
wineries
-
Tastings and dinners to highlight local and/or heritage products in the area
-
Running cookery classes and taste education courses
-
Exchanges with other Slow Food groups
-
Maintaining and promoting heritage foods and drinks
