Upcoming Events and NewsIf you want to be more involved with Slow Food Piedmont Triad, this is a great time to do so. Local food is gaining national recognition. Farmer's markets are thriving. School lunch programs are enlisting local farmers. Young people are turning to farming. Join us in supporting and celebrating our local food community.
The Slow Food Board would like to announce that Renee Schroeder has agreed to become our events chairperson. Renee is co-owner of Sweet Basil's restaurant on Dolley Madison, here in Greensboro, and is highly dedicated to bringing as many good, clean and fair foods to the table. She supports our local markets with her purchasing power. We hope everyone will make her feel very welcome by volunteering for SF events in the next year.
