Come celebrate the rebirth of Slow Food Rochester with our Fall Farm Dinner on Saturday, September 24th

September 15, 2011 07:23 AM
Come eat as local as it gets -- right off the farm! Honeyhill Farm is a certified organic farm in Livonia and grows some of the best chickens you ever have tasted. Slow Food Rochester will be providing chicken right off the farm, and sweet corn from nearby. Please bring a dish made from healthy local ingredients to share: appetizers, salads, desserts, and/or beverages (local beer and wine allowed).

Dinner will start 5:30-6:00PM. Come early, from 4PM on, for farm tours and lively discussion. Come see how chickens and cows should be raised - out in the fields.

It is also just past Autumn equinox. As a celebration of this event, they'll be two large bonfires in the fields at dusk, weather allowing.

Celebrating Slow Food in September!!

August 22, 2011 08:03 PM
We’re planning an exciting month of events as a way of celebrating Slow Food in September. On Friday September 2nd, we will be hosting a First Friday event with Joe Bean Coffee Roasters - art, slow food and great coffee! In addition, we’re planning a series of slow food potlucks throughout the month. Please contact right away if you might be interested in hosting a potluck. These can be small or large, just a few of your friends or open to all. Its a chance for everyone to meet other Slow Food enthusiasts in the area and build friendships and community. We have put together a local food finder to help you plan your meals.

And on September 24th, we will be hosting a fall farm dinner at HoneyHill Farm -- complete with farm, tours, great food and a big bonfire!

First meeting of New Slow Food Rochester

Twenty people came to the meet the board on July 24th! We had people who are farmers, cooks, teachers, food producers, entrepreneurs, young and not-so-young, and of course, all lovers of food! Everyone had lots to say and there was a real excitement about engaging a new, active Slow Food chapter in Rochester. We all talked about how we came to care about food and what we would like to see happen with Slow Food Rochester. For more information, check our past events blog.
