Member-supported and volunteer based, Slow Food RVA has witnessed an uptick in Richmonders looking to taste, celebrate, and champion the food in our region.  
Designed to counteract fast food and fast life, the Slow Food non-profit is here to make sure local food traditions don’t dwindle.

By tapping into interactive media, Richmond’s version of Slow Food aims to get people talking online and acting in real-life. 

“The goal of our Facebook Fan page is to educate folks about what Slow Food RVA is up to, give them opportunities to advocate for the cause and start a dialogue around the issues important to the movement,” says John Haddad, one of the founders of the local chapter.
