Welcome to Slow Food Desert Cities
Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world. Today, we have over 80,000 members all over the world. JOIN TODAY!
Slow Food in Schools. Slow Food Desert Cities is in the planning stages to build an outdoor garden for the Agua Caliente Elementary School in Cathedral City. The garden will serve as a classroom providing opportunities for teaching children math, science and the values of eating locally, seasonally and sustainable though hands-on projects. Construction of the garden is planned for May, 2009.
Slow Food at the Market. Slow Food Desert Cities sponsors the Chef’s Booth at the La Quinta Farmers’ Market on alternating Sunday’s. Using the ingredients available at the market, the chef prepares tasty dishes. It is a great opportunity for us to talk to the shoppers about Slow Food.
