A message from Terra Sorensen. Chair, Slow Food Omaha

Hello from the new Slow Food Omaha!

Toward the end of last year, we formed a chapter to link the pleasure of food with a commitment to the Omaha community and the environment. We held one event last fall, a long table next to a farm field where folks could eat a meal made from what they could see growing.

As you know, there are ever-increasing local food options in the Omaha area. The local growers, artisans, purveyors, chefs, and markets provide so much for the locavore looking for flavorful food that also reflects the region and treads lightly on the earth. Slow Food Omaha would like to invite you to a spring open house, The Real Food Connection, which celebrates these options.

On Sunday, March 21st, from 1-4pm, at the Douglas County Extension, we will be sharing what we do with the people, organizations, and businesses that are making Slow Food actually happen in the Omaha area. People like you.

The idea is for you to educate and promote what you do, so that we can share resources with one another and the community of eaters looking to learn more about what the Omaha food region provides.

Setup starts at 11.30am on Sunday. Bring along any informational and/or promotional materials. If you have a table please bring it, otherwise one can be provided for you.

Its going to be great to have so many amazing local food providers in the same room! Contact us with any questions or ideas, and we hope to see you in March,

Terra Sorensen
Chair, Slow Food Omaha
