Those ardent arbiters of food policy behind Slow Food have put together a group to organize Slow Food Nation, a four-day festival stretching over Labor Day weekend throughout San Francisco to "showcase the best of American food and producers, and bring together chefs, farmers, scholars, authors and activists to discuss issues surrounding food production in today's world."
Their new site, slowfoodnation.org has launched today, and is full to the brim with details of the producers, the events, the speakers, and the ways that volunteers can get involved to engage the public in this monumental task. I daresay that this site is even more useful than the parent Slow Food USA site; this has plenty of action-oriented and educational material here to get everyone involved and aware of the food process. There will be brewers, farmers, bakers, chocolatiers, distillers, ranchers, and likely many more purveyors of tasty things.
Food is important for everyone who eats, so an event like this that enriches the connection between supplier and consumer is a huge boon for us all.
Tickets go on sale today. Show your support, buy a ticket, and attend. I'm making my Labor Day plans now!
