Slow Food Grinnell

Welcome to the website of Slow Food Grinnell, a chapter (aka convivium) of Slow Food USA, the US arm of the global Slow Food movement. For a local perpective on Slow Food, you might look at this article in the Des Moines Register: Taking it Slow.

We're a new and growing group of people interested in exploring and celebrating food that is good, clean, and fair. We aim to do this though meals, tasting events, technique demonstrations, and general celebration of the slow life.

Dig In! Community Garden Cleanup and Harvest

WHAT: Grinnell Community Garden Cleanup and Harvest
WHEN: September 25th 2:30-5:30 with potluck to follow
WHERE: Grinnell Community Garden in Miller Park

Slow Food Grinnell is sponsoring a cleanup and harvest event at the Grinnell Community Garden on September 25th as part of the Slow Food USA Dig In campaign. We'll be helping catch up on weeding, clearing a mint patch as the site of a future herb bed and helping harvest as needed.

After the work is over, we'll regroup at the Davis residence for a well earned potluck supper.

What to bring to the work party:

Slow Food Grinnell will provide water and Cider

What to bring to the potluck:

Please RSVP to info@slowfoodgrinnell.org info \at\ slowfoodgrinnell \dot\ org We'll provide you with potluck details based on that. If you can't make the work session feel free to attend only the potluck just let us know. If there are enough workers we'll expand the scope to include the Grinnell College Student Garden.

Hope to see you there!
