Come and celebrate Terra Madre Day with us, on Thursday 10th December  at Crown Street Public School.

Slow Food Sydney is celebrating Terra Madre Day at Historic Crown Street Public School where our first Edible School Garden was planted.  We are also celebrating SLOW FOOD’s 20th birthday!
We are following in the tradition of Slow Food and “eating locally” …….. so bring a simple dish made from local produce or bought locally to join in our shared table.

Chef Alex Herbert from Bird Cow Fish Restaurant in Crown Street will share with us her experience of Terra Madre and what it meant to participate in the coming together of chefs, producers, academics and other Slow Food delegates from around the world at Terra Madre in Bra, Italy.

There’ll be a raffle with a great selection of prizes, a tour of the Slow Food Edible Garden and of course a chance to mix and mingle with like-minded people who believe in saving the planet, one mouthful at a time.

When: Thursday 10th December,  6:30pm - 8:30pm

Where: The Canteen, Crown Street Public School, 356Crown Street,  Surry Hills
Cost: $10 (or more) donation for Edible Garden Projects, Terra Madre and Crown Street Public School

“SLOW Food is launching Terra Madre Day around the world, to be held for the first time on 10 December this year. Slow Food convivia, Terra Madre food communities and all people supportive of our ideals are invited to organise an event, however small or symbolic, in your local area. By taking this opportunity with passion and inclusiveness, we can achieve one of the largest collective occasions celebrating food diversity ever achieved on a global scale. A global revolution can only grow from local roots, and together our community actions will help build opposition to the misguided approach of agribusiness. We invite you to let loose your creativity and make December 10 a memorable day, encouraging and supporting sustainable food in your corner of the world. It will give us all a boost and renewed pride in what we are doing locally, while knowing that we are part of a world network for change.”
