About Us

Slow Food Russian River is a non-profit, educational organization working to help create a world in which everyone can enjoy food that is good, clean and fair.  We are a chapter in good standing of Slow Food USA.

To accomplish our mission we plan and execute events and initiatives year-round.   Our regular commitments include support for school gardens, meet-your-farmer events, Honor the Gravenstein apple project, strawberry tasting in early summer, support for 4-H kids who raise heritage turkeys for Thanksgiving, and more.

How We Work

Our Leadership Team takes responsibility for keeping the organization true to the principles, values and goals of Slow Food International and Slow Food USA as well as those in our Constitution.  

As a new leader you will be introduced to working with us on an INTERIM basis for one year so that you become familiar and comfortable with us,  our policies and procedures.   At the end of the interim year we will all have the opportunity to decide if it is a good fit.
