Slow Food Triangle celebrates local food and the people who grow and make
it. Our members come together to experience and preserve our food traditions,
supporting farmers and food artisans who sustain the land and connect
us to it. We encourage the rescue and proliferation of traditional
ingredients and seek to make those flavors accessible to our whole community.
Our current initiatives include:
Working for better nutrition and taste education in local schools, organizing
Eat Local Triangle for 2010, partnering with local
farmers to find new ways of promoting local pasture-raised pork.
Come Celebrate Love with Local Food and Drink!
Slow Food Triangle, The Abundance Foundation, and Loom have teamed up with a plethora of sustainable farms, caterers, and a coop in Chatham County to host an I Love u Lunch, on February 14th, Valentine's Day, from 1- 4 pm in the historic Chatham Mills in Pittsboro, NC. The gourmet three-course lunch will feature Greek chicken soup, Sweet Potato Muffins, Roasted Tomato and Goat Cheese tarts, Winter Baby Salad Mix, Beet Chiffon Pie, and more!
Tickets to the event are only $10 in advance and $15 at the door (children
under 12 are $8) and can be purchased here.
BYOB or purchase a $3 drink ticket for Benjamin Vineyards wine or Carolina
Brewery beer. The luncheon is a fundraiser for Chatham Marketplace, the local coop also located at Chatham Mills, that offers a wide selection of
local foods. Specifically the proceeds will help pay to solarize the new
Chatham Marketplace sign being installed this spring.
Chatham Mills produced silk and woven labels from 1925 to 1996. Having
produced a livelihood for so many for decades, the current ownership is
renovating the buildings and grounds for adaptive reuse. Plays, concerts,
conferences and events like this luncheon spur Chatham Mills evolution as an inviting, socially vibrant, community centerpiece. Attendees can join a 3:30 - 4 pm tour of the Mill if they wish.
For more information contact Carol or The Abundance Foundation at 533-5181.
