Slow Food Utah Pairs with First Unitarian Garden


Slow Food Utah has graciously awarded the Garden Group a microgrant for $850. The money will be used to repair both the fence repair and main water line repair. We also have money to purchase a rat proof composter and a wheelbarrow.

Slow Food is an international nonprofit organization that was founded to counteract fast food and fast life. It is “an approach to a way of living and eating that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment”. Their organizational goals include counteracting both the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat. They also seek to promote an understanding of the ways that our food choices affect the rest of the world.

Thank you, Slow Food Utah!
