Sustain the future of Slow Food.
Slow Food Northern NJ supports local, sustainable agriculture and the health of our land and local communities. We unite the joy of food with the pursuit of justice. We defend cultural and biological diversity, educate and mobilize people, and influence policies in public and private sectors.
On Feb. 11, 2024, Slow Food Northern NJ celebrated good, clean and fair food for all at The Woodland (60 Woodland Road, Maplewood, NJ). From 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., the public was welcome to meet local farmers and food artisans and to stock up on the best of local, sustainably-produced foods.
It was also our most important fund raiser of the year. A suggested donation of $3 at the door goes to Slow Food Northern NJ’s school and community garden fund. Supporting local (including urban) farmers, providing low-income families in our area with access to fresh vegetables and teaching kids about gardening and nutrition are at the foundation of Slow Food’s mission.
We are grateful to the Township of Maplewood, NJ for their many years of support of this event.
