Help us with Strategic Planning — we want to hear from you!
We are moving toward a strategic planning process to learn more from the community about what the role of Slow Food can be in the Vermont community. Please complete this survey to help us in the process of planning!
We are raffling off an Ark of Taste book to all folx who submit a form in appreciation: form located here.
Welcome!
We are the local chapter of Slow Food, an international movement dedicated to good, clean, and fair food with over 1,500 chapters in 160 countries. Here in Vermont, we aim to share our many food cultures with each other and the broader Slow Food community. Thanks for your interest and welcome to the table!
Our volunteer board organizes events, gatherings, and educational opportunities throughout the state. In addition, we work with Slow Food USA and Slow Food International to stay connected to goings on around the country and the world.
Good
We believe in delicious food created with care from healthy plants and animals. Gathering around good food is a wonderful way to celebrate diversity of people, place, and culture.
Clean
We believe in nutritious food that is as good for the planet as it is for our bodies. Food should be grown and harvested with methods that improve our ecosystems and promote biodiversity.
Fair
We believe that food is a universal right. Food should be accessible to all—regardless of income—and produced by people who are treated with dignity and justly compensated for their labor.

We are Slow Food
We gather at the table.
We gather on our Green Mountains, our lakes, and our streams.
In our gardens.
By our fields and hearth.
In our corner stores and community kitchens.
In classrooms and cafeterias.
We gather seeds, stories, and songs.
We gather to share experiences and to feed our curiosity.
We celebrate those who have come before, and we seek to know the wisdom of our seasons and soils.
We roll up our sleeves and reacquaint ourselves with the knowledge that comes from our hands.
Together we break bread, and we gather to continue the journey.
We gather as Slow Food Vermont.
