Slow Food Indy
We'd like to bring a little attention to the Indianapolis Chapter of Slow Food, and the upcoming annual meeting.

What is Slow Food?
"Slow Food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. It is a global,
grassroots movement with thousands of members around the world that links the
pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment."

meeting of Slow Food Indy. This year's meeting will feature the stories and
photos of some of your favorite winter market vendors who attended the Slow Food
