Our events and activities
Bringing the Slow Food philosophy to life locally.
Events and activities provide opportunities for learning about food and learning new skills – they include practical workshops and demonstrations, tastings, knowledge exchange, garden visits and visiting producers. They bring people together to share the passion that binds the entire Slow Food network. Expect to have fun.
Here are some of the most popular things we have done – Slow Cheese Making, Forage to Feast Local Lunch, Celebrate The Olive Harvest, Menu for Change at Parnell Farmers Market, Field to Fork – Life on a Waitakere Smallholding and Alofa Kia Ika- a Pacific Feast.
Find out about current and future events and past events on our blog.
