Slow Food East End is a chapter of Slow Food USA and part of a global, grassroots organization founded in 1989 in Italy, by Carlo Petrini to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counteract the rise of fast life and combat people's dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us. Since its beginnings, Slow Food has grown into a global movement involving millions of people in over 160 countries, working to ensure everyone has access to good, clean and fair food for all.
We are an all-volunteer Chapter on the East End of Long Island - the North and South forks of Long Island from Riverhead to Montauk - that connects the Joys and Justice of food with a commitment to our local community and the environment.
We are fortunate to live in a bountiful area where the principles of Slow Food are lived by our farmers, fishermen, vintners, and artisanal food producers. Slow Food East End works to inspire our community and to partner with like-minded organizations to create a food web that is environmentally sustainable, preserves cultural traditions, is healthy and delicious, and celebrates the Joys and Justice around food that is Good, Clean and Fair.
