Events and Updates

Friends: tonight I am speaking with my favorite neighborhood cheesemonger, Anne Saxelby about the business of Slow Food.    Here’s the invite:

SLOW U :THE BUSINESS OF LOCAL

Join successful, “slow”, entrepreneurs, ANNE SAXELBY, of SAXELBY CHEESEMONGERS, who sells only regionally produced farmstead and artisan cheese and RICK FIELD, of RICK’S PICKS, who pickles only produce grown in our region.

SLOW U – The Business of Local

SLOW U is an educational program of Slow Food NYC, the local chapter of Slow Food USA, a national, not-for-profit association dedicated to achieving a Good, Clean, and Fair food system,  where food is REAL and delicious, where it is produced sustainably and humanely, and where producers are compensated fairly and each eater has access to good, clean food.
