Some of the produce we eat travels an average of 1,400 miles from farm to plate. Food has to be picked and transported for days before they reach peak ripeness, compromising their taste and nutrition. Conventional methods of monocultural food production use large amounts of chemical pesticides and fertilizers that can also end up on our plates. Cities offer a number of resources for food production that have been traditionally overlooked. There are better ways to grow food right where we li …

The aim of this group is to help more people become aware of the power of minerals in the human body. Today, we're living in a stress-filled environment and our mind and body require more nutrition on a daily basis than our ancestors did. Unfortunately, we're getting less nutrition from our food than our parents and grandparents did. Often excess hunger and cravings for certain foods people experience reflect the body's need for nutrients that aren't sufficient in the diet. A major cause of th …

Our cooperative structure efficiently …

Meetup page of Slow Food Boston. This is the place to sign-up for Slow Food Boston events of all types.

I started this group because, while Boston is known to have outstanding restaurants, many people don't know that the surrounding suburbs have some great food, too! And frankly, I love to eat. But, I love to have fun, too, and it's time for the group to evolve!
