Welcome
Support good,
clean, fair and local producers
Slow Food is a non-profit membership-supported
organization that educates people about how their food choices affect
the rest of the world. Today, we have over 80,000 members all over the
world. Join
us!
The Dallas chapter of Slow Food was launched in the Spring of 2003
when
interest in this area reached a critical mass. It is, by its nature, a
grass-roots group that ebbs and flows based on what members want and
contribute.
