Slow Food Columbus Welcome
Slow Food Columbus is the Columbus, Ohio convivium of Slow Food USA, which itself is the American branch of Slow Food International. In the words of the parent organization, which began in Italy, Slow Food
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.
The mission of Slow Food Columbus is to bring people together to enjoy the pleasures of the table while carrying out the Slow Food mission at the local level: to defend biodiversity in our food supply, spread taste education and connect producers of excellent foods with co-producers through events and initiatives.
