Slow Food Huron Valley Recommends...

As a local chapter of the international Slow Food organization, we follow the charter to promote “good, clean, and fair” food for all. In this context:

  • good indicates food that is tasty, fresh and healthy for you, or food that brings joy or is significant to your culture

  • clean is food that is grown in ways that contribute to biodiversity and do not degrade our ecosystems

  • fair means that, from farm to table, workers are paid a living wage and are treated with dignity, and that animals are treated humanely

Increasingly, we emphasize local sourcing as an aspect of community food security in a world facing climate change. As part of our educational mission, we want to provide resources for people to learn about the excellent farms, restaurants, artisans, and small scale producers in our area. And we want to highlight businesses that practice Slow Food principles! Read on to find a few of our picks - please remember that these are not formal endorsements, but rather a list of establishments that we think espouse at least one of our Slow Food values!
