Feast your eyes on the slow food movement.

It’s coming to Cape Cod!

Join The Movement!

If slow food is something you’ve always been curious about, now is the time to experience it for yourself.

A group called Slow Food Cape Cod is honoring the end of the Cape Land and Sea Harvest (CLASH) by hosting a shared meal, featuring a bounty of Cape Cod’s locally grown food.

The setting for the bountiful feast is right there at the source – outdoors in a field at the Cape Cod Organic Farm.

Slow Food Cape Cod has organized a group of chefs, farmers, fishermen, wine makers, cheese artisans, bean roasters, brewers, and musicians to unite for an afternoon of slow food education and, of course, eating.

When: September 27th, 3pm – until dark.

The idea of the slow food movement is to gain a better understanding of the connection between the earth and the food on our plate. Enjoy a leisurely meal with other slow food movers and shakers – and get educated about what you’re eating.
