Annual Soup Supper Returns!

Beginning in 2008, almost every January SFMV has invited members and friends to gather for a delicious and low-stress post-holiday gathering . This year, our annual Soup Supper will be Monday January 13th at 5:30. We'll get together at My Brother's Place at Trinity Episcopal Church, 316 Adams in downtown Toledo. This will be a pot luck gathering, with no charge for members and a small fee for guests. Mark your calendars now and begin thinking about what you'll bring: We suggest soup or something that goes with soup. We're planning an exciting schedule of events for 2014, so now is a good time to join or renew your membership. Do you know someone who's interested in being part of our global, grassroots organization with more than 150,000 members and 2,000 food communities throughout 150+ countries? A membership in Slow Food would be a great holiday gift!

Slow Food Maumee Valley is part of Slow Food USA and the global Slow Food network of over 150,000 members in more than 150 countries. Through our network, we link the pleasures of the table with a commitment to protect the community, culture, knowledge and environment that make this pleasure possible.

Our mission as an international grassroots membership organization is good, clean and fair food for all.
Good
Our food should be tasty, seasonal, local, fresh and wholesome.
Clean
Our food should nourish a healthful lifestyle and be produced in ways that preserve biodiversity, sustain the environment and ensure animal welfare – without harming human health.
Fair
Our food should be affordable by all, while respecting the dignity of labor from field to fork.
For All
Good, clean and fair food should be accessible to all and celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions and nations that reside in the USA.
Working together with members and supporters in our area, across the nation and around the world, we:
Care
We preserve and share local foods and food cultures. We defend and advocate policies that promote holistic alternatives to the industrial system. Through tastings, workshops and social opportunities, we explore and celebrate the Slow life.
Cultivate
We champion local, culturally significant heritage foods, customs and recipes – and bring these experiences into farms, markets, restaurants and homes. We teach the next generation how to grow, prepare and share food responsibly.
Connect
Conviviality is central to our mission. We are part of a global community, connecting people to the land and to each other through local projects, educational events, and shared meals. We become catalysts for change by sharing the joy of Slow Food and prioritizing wholesome living over convenience.
