Slow Food Noosa

Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization with supporters in 150 countries around the world who are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment.

A non-profit member-supported association, Slow Food was founded in 1989 to counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people's dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.

Today, we have over 100,000 members joined in 1,300 convivia -- our local chapters -- worldwide, as well as a network of 2,000 food communities who practice small-scale and sustainable production of quality foods.

Slow Food Noosa was founded in 2005.  We conduct a minimum of 16 events a year, including a monthly Breakfast at 8.00 am on the last Thursday of each month (February- November inclusive), and six Events.

We support local Growers and local Food Artisans.

We promote the Slow Food Philosophy, including to local primary school children through the School Kitchen Gardens' Project.
