Slow Food Nation '08

Come to the table for the largest celebration of food in America. Celebrate, Learn and Act to build a food system that is sustainable, just, and delicious. Join us in San Francisco this Labor Day Weekend for an unprecedented event! Though the central focus of Slow Food Nation is food and the people and places that enable us to eat—farms and farmers, artisans and bakers, urban gardens and policymakers—this year’s event also boasts incredible architecture and design from some of the best firms in the Bay Area. Thanks to the talents and dedication of this esteemed group, visitors to Slow Food Nation will enjoy delicious food and hear stimulating conversations inside beautiful, sustainable structures designed specifically for this event.
