SLOW FOOD DENVER


  • About Us

    Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization founded in Italy in 1989 to counter the rise of fast food and the disappearance of local food cultures. Through programs, education, advocacy and events, Slow Food inspires individuals and communities to change the world through food that is good, clean and fair for all.  

    The Slow Food Denver chapter is one of ~150 chapters in the United States.  We are a small, dynamic and passionate office that has grown significantly over the past three years.  Recently, the primary focus for the chapter has centered around the successful development of Lil’ Sprouts, the youth education, seed to plate enrichment program.  In 2021, the Lil’ Sprouts program reached 18 schools, held 292 classes, taught 724 students and provided 5,362 meals.  We’re on track to nearly double the impact in 2022.
