Slow Food Bluegrass is a Kentucky convivium of Slow Food International. We are a food education group dedicated to promoting growers and producers of good, clean and fair food products throughout the Bluegrass region. In partnership with related nonprofit organizations, state govenment agencies, colleges and universities in our state, we raise awareness of food related issues that present challenges to the quality of life of the people in our state. Through our group's activities we intend to make positive contributions that will lead to the availabilty of healthier food and a cleaner environment for this and future generations of Kentuckians.

Founded in 2006, our convivium is in the midst of forming committees to focus on projects to prepare us for Slow Food Nation, coming in 2008. We schedule meetings and events throughout the year that are free of charge or little cost and are open to members and non-members. If you would like to recieve emails about our current projects, please subscribe to our free email newsletter.
