About Slow Food Martha’s Vineyard

Slow Food Martha’s Vineyard is a chapter of Slow Food USA, which supports Good, Clean, and Fair food for everyone.

Slow Food USA is a national non-profit that believes everyone has the right to good, clean, and fair food. With over 200,000 supporters, 24,000 members and 225 chapters nationwide, Slow Food USA advocates for food and farming policy that is good for the public, good for farmers and workers, and good for the planet. Through hundreds of volunteer-led local projects, national advocacy campaigns, trainings and education, Slow Food USA seeks to transform our food and farming system through the power of everyday people.

The chapter status gives us the institutional support to operate as a non-profit organization with structure and the ability to offer certain programs and do fund-raisers.

Our efforts include:

• Educating on sustainable food issues with movies, speakers, and panels.
• Supporting local farms and food artisans with farm tours and farm news.
• Organizing local foods potlucks, cooking classes and tastings, and wild foods walks
• Keeping local members informed with national and international sustainable food issues.
• Supporting donations for local families to the Island Food Pantry and Whippoorwill CSA.
