Slow Food Detroit welcomes you to join us as we host our 1st Annual Know Your Farmer Know Your Food Fundraiser at the lovely Coach Insignia at the top of the Renaissance Center to benefit our resource fund for farmers and continuing education regarding the local and sustainable food movement.
Our guests will enjoy a wonderful array of delicious food prepared by area chefs and served to you directly from their Chef stations. You will stroll through the Coach Insignia atop the Renaissance Center not only enjoying the wonderful food featuring locally grown fare, delicious wine, local beer and a signature cocktail, but you will be treated to sweeping views of the Detroit River and the City of Detroit. You will hear some of our local farmers talk about their work and the importance of supporting them which is the main purpose of this fund.
We look forward to welcoming you on August 22, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. as we celebrate and support our farmers. RSVP is required, click here to purchase tickets.

Slow Food’s philosophy is stated: “Slow Food is good, clean and fair food. We believe that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work”.
