Slow Food DC represents the National Capital Region, including the District of Colombia, Virginia, and Maryland. As a community we promote and celebrate local, seasonal, and sustainable food sources; work to preserve the culinary traditions of the region’s ethnically and culturally diverse populations; and support the right of all people to enjoy good, clean, fair food. We organize volunteer activities, dinners, tastings, tours, lectures, and community outreach events providing Slow Food DC members an opportunity to explore the richness of our region’s culinary heritage. It is our goal to connect eaters with the biodiverse and sustainable food producers, as well as increase public awareness of the slow food philosophy.
