Slow food is more than just a way of eating—it is a way of living. The Slow Food movement is growing in popularity as more people around the world find pleasure in cooking food in a way that is as committed to the community and the environment as it is to our own health.
The Slow Food USA seeks to create a dramatic and lasting change in the food system by reconnecting people with the plants, animals, soils and water that produce it. Slow Food wants to ensure equality, sustainability and pleasure in the food we eat. Now more than ever, the Slow Food movement is popping up all around Napa and Sonoma County. Check out a couple of upcoming events with a focus on local, sustainable eating.
Be sure not to miss the Slow Food event at the historic Bale Grist Mill in St. Helena. Co-hosted by the Napa Valley Slow Food and the California State Parks, this event will include a meal prepared with local foods by the Silverado Brewing Company featuring a grain fed Mule Foot Hog, Napa Valley wines, specially brewed “Bale Ale”. There will also be a silent auction and tours and demonstrations of the Grist Mill with Miller Eric Gerhardt. All the proceeds from this events will help keep the much-loved Bale Grist open for others to enjoy.
Also, join the Clif Family Farm as they host a farm party benefit that promises to be an entertaining afternoon filled with food, wine and music. Owners Gary and Kit Erickson and winemaker Sarah Gott will be there to share wood-fired pizzas and delicious food straight from the gardens. There will be farm tours and neighboring wineries pouring including Clark-Claudon Vineyards. The proceeds from the event will benefit The Community Alliance with Family Farmers. The winery is located in Pope Valley, about 15 minutes outside of St. Helena. For more information visit and to purchase tickets www.cliffamilywinery.com/farmparty.
