Our commitment to the Slow Food Movement is not a recent development. It's a journey that began long before we launched our bakery. I was a Slow Food member in Germany for many years. Along the way, I have met so many amazing like-minded people and learned about businesses that are committed to the Slow Food principles, the food system, and the impact on communities. I have attended numerous small and big Slow Food events in Germany with producers from all over Europe. 

What is Slow Food?

In 1986, McDonald's announced plans to open a store at the historic Spanish Steps of Rome, Italy, sparking public outcry and mass protests. In response, the Italian Author Carlo Petrini decided that carrying signs wouldn't be enough. So Mr. Petrini took the lead in launching the Slow Food Movement. This movement advocates for Food that is good for both the people who consume it and those who produce it and good for the planet.

In the meantime Slow Food became a global movement, with local chapters in many US cities Find out more about Slow Food USA and the Chapters activities.
