Slow Food Western Slope is part of Slow Food USA and the global Slow Food network of over 150,000 members in more than 150 countries. Through our network, we link the pleasures of the table with a commitment to protect the community, culture, knowledge and environment that make this pleasure possible.

We believe that food is a delicious solution that will unite joy and justice when we work in the intersections of food, race, class, gender and climate. We believe in knitting together resilient ecosystems where everyone builds and upholds a great diversity of people, cultures, places, foods and tastes.

We believe that good, clean and fair food is a universal right. We envision a world where all people can eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet.

Good
Our food should be tasty, seasonal, local, fresh and wholesome.

Clean
Our food should nourish a healthful lifestyle and be produced in ways that preserve biodiversity, sustain the environment and ensure animal welfare – without harming human health.

Fair
Our food should be affordable by all, while respecting the dignity of labor from field to fork.
