Eat it to save it: Slow Food's Ark of Taste

  • Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living 3941 Research Park Drive Ann Arbor, MI, 48108 (map)

This class is a collaboration with our partners at Project Grow

You've heard about Slow Food's Ark of Taste in Project Grow's newsletters. You've seen Ark of Taste varieties at their plant sale. Now you can learn even more about the Ark of Taste's mission to save delicious and distinctive foods from extinction. This class will begin with an overview of Slow Food's Ark of Taste. Then we will explore heritage foods that are significant to class participants' own cultural and culinary backgrounds and discuss how we can keep these traditions alive. Finally, we will sample Ark of Taste foods and compare these heirloom varieties to their conventional counterparts. Participants will each receive Ark of Taste seeds for their gardens.

This class is led by Slow Food Huron Valley leadership team members: Janet Osborn, Sofia Gaudioso, Kimberly Hartley, and Lauren Moscoe
