Local Food Producers & Community

WE BELIEVE THAT WHAT WE EAT AS A COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTES TO A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL.

Our century, which began and has developed under the industrial civilization, invented the machine and then took it as its life model, pushing the Fast Life, and encouraging us to eat fast foods.

​

The Slow Food movement highlights the significance of supporting local farmers, the importance of food culture worldwide, and the value of gathering around a table to connect with one another around food. 

​

Slow Food Denver partners with and supports local food producers, restaurants, farmers, and those promoting food security. Through workshops and events year round, we increase awareness in the community of the important work our partners do, help them raise funds, and organize volunteer days.

​

Examples of our support for local producers:

​

  • Our Snail of Approval program recognizes food and beverage businesses and organizations in the Denver-metro area with like-minded missions – encouraging good, clean and fair food for all. This includes farms and nonprofits producing local products. 

  • Our volunteer days offer the opportunity for community members to visit local growing spaces and assist farmers and gardeners. These spaces often directly support Denver food pantries and efforts to reduce food insecurity.

  • Our events feature locally produced ingredients and products. We use events to educate about and highlight the importance of local growers. 

  • Our FED Workshops showcase the work of local producers and bring their expertise to our community.
