OUR
MISSION
We seek to create dramatic and lasting change in our food system. Slow Food East End connects communities on the East End with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils and waters that create our food. We inspire individuals and communities to nourish the East End of Long Island through food that is good, clean and fair for all.
Good
We believe that food created with care from healthy plants and animals is best for all. Gathering our community to celebrate good food practises and the diversity of people and cultures that noursish and create our food traditions gives us joy and purpose.
Clean
We believe in nutritious food that is as good for the planet as it is for our bodies. Food should be grown and harvested with methods that improve our ecosystems and promote biodiversity.
Fair
We believe that access to good food is a universal right. Good food should be available to all—regardless of income—and produced by people who are treated with dignity and justly compensated for their labor.
