Slow Food MN

In 1986 a McDonald's opened in Rome, how sad. But as a result, Slow Food, an international non-profit organization began, and ever since has been defending the biodiversity of our food.

The local root of this organization has several events each year celebrating and introducing local and regional farmers, producers and artisans to an audience hungry for this type of enlightenment. Some recent events have provided benefit to local farmers and food shelves that have been victim to arson and the 07 floods.

A Slow Food MN Event is upon us, An Evening with Jeffrey Roberts. Jeff works in food policy and agriculture in Vermont, as well as international efforts in public education programs and marketing. Jeff also has a huge spot for the art of cheese. The event will focus on local incredible cheeses as well as organic and sustainable American wines. Jeff will be doing book signings and providing his view of all things food. Friday, July 18, 6:30 - 9:00 @ Elsie's in NE Mpls.

Sounds like a yummy evening.
