Lynden Sculpture Garden launches a year-round series of sustainability events by opening on a Saturday afternoon to celebrate the National Slow Food Day of Action, "Dig In! Break Ground, Break Bread," with a resource fair that highlights the work of local food activists, organizations, and vendors. The slow food movement envisions a world in which all people can eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it, and good for the planet. Drop in to taste, touch and learn more about food that is good, clean and fair. Participants include Slow Food Southeastern Wisconsin, Growing Power, Beepods and more.
Slow Food Wisconsin Southeast hosts The Art of Food, an evening of wine, hors d'oeuvres and world music in support of local food projects, biodiversity and this year's Terra Madre delegates from 6-10 pm. To learn more and purchase tickets, visit http://slowfoodwise.org
