Slow Food Portland, Oregon

Slow Food Portland, Oregon Celebrating Good, Clean, and Fair Food Slow Food seeks to reconnect people with the food they eat and the cultures, community, and production behind it.

At the heart (and belly) of our activities, we believe that every individual has a right to Good, Clean, and Fair food in their daily life. Through lectures, tours, cooking demonstrations, volunteer days, and other local events, Slow Food Portland works to engage our community with the broader food movement. We partner with local and national activists, chefs, farmers, and organizations already working for direct change to our food system, and we encourage you to join us in our effort.

Membership supports national advocacy, programs that advance good, clean, and fair food, and funding that goes back into communities through efforts like the National Resilience Fund.

If you’ve connected with what we’re doing locally whether that’s attending an event, reading along, or just paying more attention to where your food comes from this is one way to support that work at a bigger scale.
Membership is typically $60/year, but this week you can give what you can.
