Slow Food Huron Valley

 

Welcome The SFHV team is working on a new website (and we have some other exciting changes coming up), but in the meantime we are having difficulty making regular web updates. If you have questions or would like to be added to our monthly email newsletter, please contact: leadership@slowfoodhuronvalley.com


TERRA MADRE FUNDRAISING
We are raising money to send local farmers, chefs and educators to represent our region at Terra Madre, the biennial worldwide Slow Food conference in Turin, Italy. We do this fundraising only once every 2 years to send our delegates to learn from the international food sustainability community gathered at Terra Madre. Our delegates will bring that knowledge and experience back to our community.  HELP send our representatives by donating at Support Slow Food Huron Valley.

LOCAL FOOD SUMMIT REUNION: Picnic, Potluck, Soup Stock (y’all come)

Sunday, August 15th 4-6pm, Wurster Park, 3rd Street and Madison, Ann Arbor, MI

See more detail: http://localfoodsummit.org


Everyone is invited to this Sunday afternoon potluck picnic in Wurster Park. We’re providing the cold beverages and a couple of low-key activities. Bring a lawn chair, some garlic to clean, and a dish to pass while we catch each other up on what’s been happening since the Summit last winter, and what we’re working toward now. We’re planning to Crop Mob the Edible Demonstration Garden - to tidy it up and start planning what we’re like it to be in the future. We’re also going to host a Love Factory Soup Stock mini-grant fundraiser for the picnic participant with the most Slow Food-esque idea.  We’ll also be talking about next year’s Summit. The date and location are set!


Please RSVP and also let us know your ideas for the conversation topics you’d like to see: localfoodsummit@gmail.com
