“A significant part of the pleasure of eating is in one’s accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which food comes,” says American man of letters, Wendell Berry. Blending both pleasure and consciousness is Slow Food Maui–a “convivium” of a global movement–who will present a “Taste Education” experience, well-suited for all the ‘ohana.

What is Slow Food: Slow Food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. It is a global, grassroots movement with thousands of members around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment. In the United States, members of Slow Food USA’s 200 conviviums celebrate the amazing bounty of food that is available and work to strengthen the connection between the food on our plates and the health of our planet.
About Slow Food Maui: Slow Food Maui aligns with Slow Food USA to support locally grown food and cultural diversity and culinary practices for health, island food security and pleasure. Slow Food Maui is a local convivium (or chapter) of the international Slow Food movement. A convivium is a tool for implementing the Slow Food mission on a local level and therefore the grassroots expression of the movement. Slow Food Maui engages the local community in supporting and promoting local, sustainable food and food traditions and advocating for good, clean and fair food for all people.
