SLOW FOOD EAST END - SOUR POWER

Slow Food East End is a chapter ofSlow Food USAand part of a global, grassroots organization founded in 1989 in Italy, by Carlo Petrini to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counteract the rise of fast life and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us. Since its beginnings, Slow Food has grown into a global movement involving millions of people in over 160 countries, working to ensure everyone has access to good, clean and fair food for all.We are an all-volunteer Chapter on the East End of Long Island — the North and South forks of Long Island from Riverhead to Montauk — that connects the Joys and Justice of food with a commitment to our local community and the environment.We seek to create dramatic and lasting change in our food system; Slow Food East End connects communities on the East End with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils and waters that create our food. We inspire individuals and communities to change the East End of Long Island through food that is good, clean and fair for all.All contributions to Slow Food East End are tax deductible through our affiliation with Slow Food USA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, tax exempt organization.
