<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Greetings Slow Food members and supporters,</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is with the mixed emotions of joy and sadness that I write this message. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As some of you may have heard, Slow Food Katy Trail, the mid-Missouri chapter of Slow Food USA, is in transition and soon no longer will exist with any of its current all-volunteer staff. I think I can safely speak for our former and current board members when I say that we all have cherished and loved the work we’ve done in the community for the last 13 years. Through our many films, dinners, tastings, parties, potlucks, auctions, special events, farm tours and Harvest-of-the-Month elementary-school programs and farm field trips, we have educated thousands of children and adults about the Slow Food mission of good, clean and fair food for all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It’s been difficult to conclude that—while we’d love to continue the vital work of the Slow Food organization—none of us can sustain the chapter roles that have demanded so much of our time and energy for so long. There’s something about getting to the point in life where you have more years behind you than you do in front that makes you think about how to spend what’s left—speaking for myself, and perhaps all but one of our (younger) board members!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We hope to be able to introduce you to a new leader who will step in, take over the chapter and lead it in a fresh, new direction with new board members. We’ve been talking with a potential candidate, so we are optimistic that some of you will be able to meet her at our members’ farewell party on July 31 (details announced soon).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No matter what happens, I’m extremely proud of what Slow Food has accomplished and the trailblazing the organization has done to help change the food landscape in not only mid-Missouri, but throughout the country and the world. It’s been so rewarding to see the growing number of farmers’ markets, restaurants, food shops, young entrepreneurs and new organizations that support local farmers and organically grown food. I’m also encouraged by the increasing number of people who care about biodiversity via their involvement in Slow Food’s Ark of Taste—by identifying/growing heirloom varieties of plants and reviving heritage breeds of animals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’d like to thank all of our Slow Food Katy Trail members, volunteers and enthusiasts for your faithful and generous support and hard work throughout the years. The most wonderful benefit of having been a chapter leader since 2003 is the number of passionate farmers, fishers, restaurateurs, food artisans, activists, environmentalists and new friends I’ve come to know and love in the world of Slow Food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everywhere I go in this community I run into people I’ve bought food from, met or worked with on events or projects or heard speak. Every Saturday at the farmers market, I rejoice anew as I talk with long-time vendors; purchase their fresh, beautiful food; and meet my fellow faithful market friends doing the same. Every time I’ve gone to Slow Food gatherings or conferences throughout this country and the world, my food philosophy and commitments have been recharged. The brilliant speakers I’ve heard, the beyond-delicious local foods I’ve eaten and the intelligent, energetic U.S. and international Slow Food staff, chapter leaders and members I’ve met at all these remind me of what passion can accomplish in this world. Carlo Petrini has been and always will be my hero.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I plan to continue the work of the organization in my own life, through the everyday choices I make about the food I buy, cook, grow and share. Being intimately involved with Slow Food has made me realize that there is no better way to care for the planet, its people and the generations who come after us than to be fully conscious of each and every decision we make about our food choices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I encourage you all to renew your memberships and stay involved with Slow Food USA, regardless of the status of our local chapter. I hope many of you will come to Slow Food Nation next year in Denver and to other Slow Food gatherings whenever you can and wherever you are. There is much to be learned and enjoyed at all of them—Terra Madre, Slow Meat, Slow Fish, Slow Cheese, Slow Beer, Slow Wine …</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I leave you with a few of my favorite quotes from Slow Food USA:</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We drink the Kool-Aid, but we make it ourselves, from scratch.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We still believe that</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">‘Taste is pleasure that reasons’</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and taste drives preference</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>and preference </i><i>drives behavior</i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and behavior drives change.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The fork is all powerful.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our food culture is like a great artwork that has been wallpapered over again and again by convenience. We are about discovery. Not just to save what has been known and make it vibrant, but to add our voice to the conversation of the ages. We make life choices based on the heart, the back, and the brain. We are living examples, role models, keepers of the flame for a better life for all.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Slow regards and buon appetito!</span><br />

Join <b>Slow Food Katy Trail</b> Sunday, May 31, as we spend the afternoon exploring some of the farms that supply fresh, sustainably grown food to the Central Missouri region. This tour is designed to acquaint you with local farmers and give you an up-close look at their production methods and farming styles. Please feel free to ask them questions about how they grow their food.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="p8" style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>The tour follows the order listed above, at the times specified, so please join us at Blue Bell Farm beginning at 12:45 p.m. to get ready for the 1 p.m. tour, then follow us up the road to Sullivan Farms for their 3 p.m. tour.

We begin at <span class="s3"><b>Blue Bell Farm</b></span>, a seventh-generation Missouri farm that specializes in hosting on-the-farm events. One of Missouri’s oldest Century Farms, it has become a popular venue for weddings, parties and farm-to-table events during the past year.

Owner <b>Jamie Bryant</b> will show us around the flourishing vegetable operation, then <b>Derek Bryant</b> will guide us through the barn/event center. Herd manager <b>Laura Korte</b> will show us Blue Bell’s thriving grass-fed, grass-finished cattle operation and tell us about the heritage turkeys, pasture-raised chickens and sheep she produces with her own <b>Country Neighbors Farm</b>. Both operations are committed to following organic principles and taking a whole-farm approach to land management. <b>Country Neighbors </b>products may be available for purchase at the end of the tour.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Sunday, Sept. 21 at 4 o’clock</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">(3 o’clock optional tour of the brewery, barrel room and new winery)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Les Bourgeois A-Frame</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>on the Missouri River Bluffs at Rocheport</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /><b>This event is Slow Food Katy Trail’s <i>main</i> fundraiser</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>for our Harvest-of-the-Month elementary-school program</b></span></div>
<br />
We loved having our annual fundraiser in Les Bourgeois’ century-old tobacco barn for the last few years. Unfortunately, the barn (which had been losing a few pieces of its wooden walls to the wind every year) finally succumbed this past spring to the ravages of time. The folks at Les Bourgeois were again quick and generous to offer an option at another one of their scenic venues. We think you’ll find this one, with its splendid blufftop river view, just as enjoyable. The food, of course, will be spectacular, as always.<br />
<br />
A team of five local chefs, who are graciously donating their time and talents, will be cooking “on stage” in front of the river. They include <b>Craig Cyr</b> of the Wine Cellar & Bistro; <b>Brook Harlan</b> of the Columbia Area Career Center Culinary Arts program; <b>Matt Robertson</b> and <b>Blaire DeVine </b>of Les Bourgeois Blufftop Bistro; and <b>Walker Claridge </b> of Broadway Brewery.<br />
<br />
Each chef will prepare a course that features something from Slow Food’s Ark of Taste, a living catalog of delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction. By identifying and championing these foods, we keep them in production and on our plates.<br />
<br />
Sharing the stage with the chefs will be <b>The Third Switch</b>, serving up an eclectic and lively musical menu of early blues, calypso, classic country and vintage jazz.<br />
<br />
Because we want as many people to enjoy this event as possible, we’re offering several price levels (see below). Tickets are available only through the <a href="http://dinnerontheriver.brownpapertickets.com/" target="_blank">Brown Paper Tickets website</a>.<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><b>Slow Food Katy Trail's 2014 Farm Tour Series</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> is officially closed for the season, a little earlier than originally planned. We've had a great time visiting seven fascinating farms this summer, and some of you have been right there with us all the way, from those who have their own gardens or small farms and want to pick up tips from the pros, to folks who make it a priority to eat good, healthy food and want to see exactly how it's grown or raised. And the goats, free-range cattle, sheep, chickens, pigs and donkeys were </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><i>always</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> a hit with the kiddos!</span></div>

Here's just a quick glimpse at what we experienced during our June, July, and August 2014 tours.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Several families took advantage of the June 1 tour of Goatsbeard Farm to give their children a taste of the farming life. This little girl was ecstatic about petting the goats—can you tell?! Visitors to Goatsbeard also got to tour their cheese-making facility and sample some of their award-winning cheeses, including the Franklin Island Feta that took 2nd Place at the American Cheese Society Conference in the Goat Feta Category this August. Way to go, Ken and Jenn Muno!</span></div>

With help from Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture (CCUA), the Cyrs have turned their farm into a twice-a-month gardening school for the public. Participants not only get hands-on experience, but garden-fresh lunches prepared on site by chef Craig and wine selected by sommelier Sarah. Liberty Hunter of CCUA (right) explained her role in the project.</span></div>

<b>Honey Creek Farm</b> is a small diversified farm northeast of Columbia, nestled among pastures divided by a winding creek. Farmers Dan and Laura Pugh grow vegetables and fruit, graze sheep on grass, raise chickens for eggs, and keep honeybees. Their goal is to be sustainable and produce the healthiest food possible by the practices they use. This is their third year farming, and they say they are still learning constantly. Honey Creek Farm sells free-range eggs and produce at the Columbia Farmers Market.<br />

Terra Bella has been an organic farm since 1999, and though they still follow strictly no-chemical practices, they dropped their certification a few years ago. According to their mission, they are “dedicated to food for the local community, arts for all and the health of the rural ecosystem, including our farmers.” They have vegetable gardens, bee hives, a timber-stand-improvement project, and pasture for cattle and sheep. This year, they're also raising a few red-wattle hogs. The Missouri Grain Project has been buying and selling local grains to local consumers since 2007 and also sponsors a heritage wheat project,now in its fourth year. Terra Bella is also home to the mid-Missouri Barn Quilt Project. Two of their buildings are solar, and their irrigation system is partially solar. Their products, including their local wheat flour and produce, are sold at Shlafly and Clayton Markets in St. Louis and at the Brick District Farmers Market in Fulton.<br />

Bluebird Composting helps local farmers, food vendors and families manage their waste, preventing tons of material from ending up wasted in landfills. By combining the various types of waste products (food scraps, wood chips, manure, etc.) in specific amounts, under special conditions, something magical occurs, transforming ordinary waste into premium compost. Bluebird Composting sells their compost, free range eggs, and produce at both the Columbia Farmers Market and the Brick District Farmers Market in Fulton, <a href="http://columbiafarmersmarket.org/vendor-spotlight-bluebird-composting/" target="_blank">and you can learn more about them in this profile on the CFM web site</a>. Bluebird compost is available by the bag or in bulk, and bags will be available for sale on tour day. </div>

<h3>
First stop: THE WINE CELLAR GARDEN PROJECT</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Come visit <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheWineCellarGardenProject" target="_blank">The Wine Cellar Garden Project</a></b>, the home and farm of Craig and Sarah Cyr, following the directions below (or follow Google map directions to 8151 West Highway UU, Columbia). The farm is a few miles southwest of Columbia, and it takes just 12 minutes or so to get there from the Columbia Farmers Market. Come at noon if you’re lunching there (don’t forget to bring your own picnic lunch), or show up by 12:45 if you simply want to take the guided tour at 1 p.m.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At The Wine Cellar Garden Project, visitors will be welcomed by Craig and Sarah Cyr, co-owners (Executive Chef & Sommelier) of <a href="http://www.winecellarbistro.com/" target="_blank">The Wine Cellar & Bistro</a>, a tasty locavore eatery in downtown Columbia, since 2003. After 10 years of business, Craig and Sarah decided to start The Wine Cellar Garden Project in 2013 to learn more about organic gardening, and invited customers to join them. They partnered with <a href="http://www.columbiaurbanag.org/" target="_blank">CCUA (Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture)</a> to teach classes in the garden, every other Saturday, throughout the growing season. Each class includes a short lecture by professional gardeners of CCUA, hands-on gardening experience, a garden-inspired lunch from Chef Craig, and a wine pairing by Sarah. (If you'd like to see Chef Craig making a <a href="http://www.modeeproots.com/mo-deep-roots-cooking-video-episode-6-chef-craig-cyrs-grilled-carrot-salad/" target="_blank">grilled carrot salad</a>, or <a href="http://www.modeeproots.com/food-and-missouri-wine-pairings-featuring-sarah-cyr-les-bourgeois-brut-part-1-of-3/" target="_blank">learn how to pair food with Missouri wine in a series of three videos</a>, see the <a href="http://cooking video section" target="_blank">cooking video section</a> of the MO Deep Roots web site.)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Since then, The Garden Project has expanded to a fully functioning small farm, which focuses on organic growing methods and sustainability for the farm and restaurant. Craig and Sarah, joined by Liberty Hunter from CCUA, will lead the tour throughout the farm, where visitors can see the large, diverse garden, the 40 heritage chickens, the rain barrel system, and more. There also will be a tasting of organic and biodynamic wines, which Sarah recently has added to the Wine Cellar & Bistro's wine list; those will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle. </div>

Next it’s time to visit <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/MightyAcornFarm" target="_blank">Mighty Acorn</a></b>, a small diversified farm just north of Columbia run by John Corn and Sandra Gummersheimer. Arrive at the farm by 2:30 to catch the guided tour that begins at 2:45 p.m. At Mighty Acorn, John and Sandy will show you how they grow the beautiful array of vegetables they sell every Saturday at the Columbia Farmers Market. Their produce has been grown with sustainable inputs since they purchased the property in 2009. A bonus attraction for guests, and on display for the tour, will be John's collection of ingenious farm-built, labor-saving gadgets. </div>

<div>
John and Sandy have been growing for the market for the past five years, and they have established a loyal customer base. Their love of good-quality food extends to their kitchen, where they love to come up with new ways to make the best of their seasonal produce. (Here’s a link to videos of John making his <a href="http://www.modeeproots.com/mo-deep-roots-cooking-video-episode-4-john-corn-makes-garden-pesto/" target="_blank">garden pesto</a> and his <a href="http://www.modeeproots.com/tomato-basil-bisque/" target="_blank">tomato basil bisque,</a> from the MO Deep Roots web site.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
John says, “We are committed to good tasting, local, healthy food and firmly believe that this is one of the few ways our customers are able to obtain optimum nutrition. One of our greatest pleasures with farming is exposing those who are unfamiliar with fresh tastes to a healthy way of eating.”</div>

<b>This year you have <i>four</i> chances to visit some of your favorite local farms! Join Slow Food Katy Trail one Sunday per month, June through September, as we spend the afternoon exploring some of the farms that supply fresh, sustainably grown food to the Central Missouri region. We’ll be focusing on just two or three farms per afternoon, so you’ll have plenty of time to see every farm on the tour. And this year’s tours are also <i>farmer-</i>guided rather than self-guided, so come at the dates and times listed below for the chance to see <i>exactly</i> where your food is coming from! <br />
</b><br />
<b>This tour is designed to acquaint you with local farmers and give you an up-close look at their production methods and farming styles. Please feel free to ask them questions about how they grow their food.</b></div>

1. Drive up to <b><a href="http://altaimeadows.com/" target="_blank">Altai Meadows</a></b> in Higbee following the directions below (or follow Google map directions to <b><a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?output=classic&daddr=Altai+Meadows%4039.3202475,-92.49781559999997" target="_blank">1296 County Road 2535, Higbee</a></b>). It takes 5o or so minutes to get there from the Columbia Farmers’ Market, so pack your lunch early and enjoy the drive! Come at 12:30 if you’re lunching there, or show up by 1:15 if you simply want to take the guided tour at 1:30 p.m. At Altai Meadows you’ll get an up-close look at a family farm that specializes in high-quality grass-fed, grass-finished beef, raised humanely without added hormones or antibiotics. You can purchase Altai Meadows beef, as well as eggs from their pastured chickens at the Columbia Farmers’ Market and on the day of the tour.<br />

<b>Slow Food</b> advocates for food and farming policy that is good for the public, good for the planet, and good for farmers and workers. Food that is good, clean and fair.<br />
<b>Good—</b>The word <i>good</i> can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. For Slow Food, the idea of good means enjoying delicious food created with care from healthy plants and animals. The pleasures of good food also can help build community and celebrate culture and regional diversity.<br />
<b>Clean—</b>When we talk about clean food, we are talking about nutritious food that is as good for the planet as it is for our bodies. It is grown and harvested with methods that have a positive impact on our local ecosystems and promote biodiversity.<br />
<b>Fair—</b>We believe that food is a universal right. Food that is fair should be accessible to all, regardless of income, and produced by people who are treated with dignity and justly compensated for their labor.<br />

has asked a few local farmers to showcase their farms on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sunday, June 16, Father’s Day, during our Second Annual Farm Tour</b>.
It's a self-guided (drive-yourself-to-the-farms) affair, and a great
opportunity for enthusiasts of fresh, local and seasonal foods to see where it
all comes from. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">This tour is designed
to acquaint you with local farmers and give you an up-close look at their
production methods and farming styles. Please feel free to ask them questions
about how they grow their food.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">Each farm will have
different and interesting things to show and tell visitors. Among the sensory
offerings will be frolicking baby goats, chickens that lay blue eggs, delicious
samples, farm products for sale, entertainment and gorgeous scenery.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">We encourage families
to bring children and introduce them to life on the farm and the origins of
food. It's free, it's educational and it's a wonderful way to spend a Sunday
afternoon. Visit one or as many as you like. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Since
2008, Slow Food Katy Trail has introduced local and seasonal food to children
at a Columbia elementary school. On Sept. 12, we begin the fifth year of our
popular Harvest-of-the-Month sessions with third graders at a new school—Benton
Elementary at 1410 Hinkson Ave. <br />
<br />
Each month of the school year we decide on a seasonal food and locate a local
farmer who produces it, then ask him or her to bring the produce or product to the school
on a particular day. It may be tomatoes, green beans, garlic, sweet potatoes,
popcorn, honey, eggs, wheat, and so forth. The farmer discusses life on the
farm with the children and talks specifically about how that month’s harvest is
produced. During the month in the classroom, teachers try to integrate the food
into different areas of the curricula such as history, art and science.<br />
<br />
Slow Food-volunteer cooks and occasionally local chefs come to the school each
month, in conjunction with the farmers' visits, to turn the food into delicious
and nutritious treats for the children. All the students participate in the
cooking. They have steamed fresh green beans picked that very day, they have
made applesauce, squash puree, garlic butter and tomato salsa. They have
removed popcorn from the cob and popped it, and ground wheat berries into flour
and made pancakes with it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In every case, children have tried new foods and delighted in discovering new
tastes, experiencing freshness and creating something themselves which is a joy
to eat and to share.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Gill Sans"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Gill Sans"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Times;">Also,
as
part of Harvest of the Month, we sponsor a field trip for the
participating
classes to a local farm in the spring. It is one thing for a farmer to
come to
the school and show slides and talk, but quite another thing for the
children
to actually pick the fresh strawberries or lettuces, to see (and smell!)
the
turkeys strutting in their pens, feed the goats or even make cheese.
Also, for
these field trips, we invite a local chef (Craig Cyr of the Wine Cellar
& Bistro) to prepare what the children harvest, and serve a
delicious lunch at
long tables with, as the children say, real plates and forks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

family farm located in north-central Missouri near Higbee. Our family is
dedicated to the production of quality grass-fed, grass-finished beef in a
manner that respects our environment and our animals. Our animals are moved to
fresh pasture on a daily basis to provide exceptional foraging conditions,
while continuously improving our pastures. Our beef is naturally and humanely
raised without added hormones or antibiotics. We also leave out the chemical
wormer and the multitude of vaccine injections. That’s why our beef is so
clean. Grass-finished beef and eggs from pastured chickens are available for
purchase at the farm and at the Columbia Farmers Market in Columbia.</span></div>

with several projects aimed at increasing the public’s access to locally raised
foods and increasing interest in the rural community. We’ve been an organic
farm since 1999 and follow strictly no-chemical practices, but dropped our
certification soon after USDA made it obvious they would make the rules easy
for corporate growers rather than small farms. On June 24, we also will be
welcoming the Crop Mob, a group of volunteers who work on farms. According to
our mission, we are "dedicated to food for the local community, arts for
all and the health of the rural ecosystem, including our farmers." We have
vegetable gardens, a timber-stand-improvement project, pasture for cattle and
sheep, and a historic wheat project in its second year. We are home to the
mid-Missouri Barn Quilt Project. Two of our buildings are solar and our
irrigation system is partially solar. On June 24, we will have a self-guided
walking tour and cookies from our wheat project in the Model-T garage, an
off-grid building that was moved to its current site in 2010.</span></div>

among the rolling hills along the Missouri River. The primary growing fields,
which border the Little Splice Creek bottom, benefit from beautiful silt loam
soils rich in organic matter. The farming techniques used on this farm are a
combination of highly managed cover cropping, crop rotations, the application
of compost, mulch and small quantities of minerals and nutrients. My goal is to
give back more to the soil than I take. We sell directly to Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) members, local restaurants and at the Farmers & Artisans
Market in downtown Columbia. Joining a CSA is a shared commitment between the
consumer and the farmer, providing some certainty to the farmer in the way of a
secure market for our produce in the fickle world we know as farming. My goal
at Happy Hollow Farm CSA is to provide the highest quality produce possible. I
strive to offer the most organized and effective way for consumers to buy
seasonally fresh food directly from a local certified organic farm.</span></div>

"When I was at Terra Madre, I was amazed to see all the important work Slow Food was doing," said Claridge. "I had no idea what an activist organization it was."</span><br /><br /><br />On Dec. 6, amidst a festive Italian-themed holiday ambience, Slow Food Katy Trail members and others from the mid-Missouri community celebrated Slow Food's Terra Madre Day at Broadway Brewery.<br /><br />A delicious Italian dinner was prepared with local food by the kitchen staff of the brewery, which is owned by Terra Madre delegate Walker Claridge. Walker and the four other mid-Missouri TM delegates spoke to the crowd between courses about their Terra Madre experiences, insights they brought home with them and new-found appreciation for the Slow Food organization. Several hundred images of Terra Madre/Salone del Gusto and other Italian scenes were projected on a large screen during the dinner.<br /><br />In addition, Slow Food Katy Trail partnered with two other organizations to sell gift items at the dinner (to benefit the 1,000 Gardens in Africa project). The Mustard Seed, a local fair-trade retail store, brought merchandise made in Africa. Dan and Melinda Hemmelgarn, on behalf of the Missouri Organic Association, sold their 2011 "organic" calendars. Also, Broadway Brewery donated 30 percent of the ticket price to the project. All proceeds from the evening (about $700) are going to the African gardening project.<br /><br />It was a delightful evening, and many people walked away with a new understanding of what the Slow Food organization is, and how far-reaching its influence is throughout the world.<br /><br />To learn more about the "1,000 Gardens in Africa" project, visit http://www.slowfood.com/terramadreday/pagine/eng/pagina2.lasso?-id_pg=113Bernadettte Drydenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05348998195319575540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218436561286592097.post-10421339789448656712010-11-19T12:06:00.008-06:002010-11-19T12:51:43.105-06:00Come help us celebrate Terra Madre Day at Broadway Brewery on December 6<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuL27BQaM6lLN3UfA4gk8Msn9LHvvTthFmPf1c779E2YAyjRcVWzkoea-QZY_ytLit7bNm1wKgt1X3XNg7S3vxPAHYJljeSBE69VKPsrhNzIRyjENdRZE3ka2mav9yKY9-orq5L5Id8iw/s1600/polenta+menu"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuL27BQaM6lLN3UfA4gk8Msn9LHvvTthFmPf1c779E2YAyjRcVWzkoea-QZY_ytLit7bNm1wKgt1X3XNg7S3vxPAHYJljeSBE69VKPsrhNzIRyjENdRZE3ka2mav9yKY9-orq5L5Id8iw/s400/polenta+menu" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541330624770225698" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >

<br />You’re invited to help SFKT celebrate Terra Madre Day–along with Slow Food chapters throughout the world–as we come together on this day to share Italian-inspired local foods, photographs and knowledge taken away from the international conference a few weeks ago.
<br />
<br />That evening we’ll also tell you about an exciting new African gardening project to which we all easily can contribute. Last, but not least, we’re going to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season in the festive ambience of the brewery. Plus, you’ll have a chance to do some holiday shopping at our special gift tables. Mustard Seed Fair Trade (25 S. Ninth St.)–whose fair-trade principles are compatible with Slow Food’s–graciously will donate 10 percent of sales that evening to the African gardening project.

<br />
<br />Slow Food Katy Trail, the mid-Missouri chapter of Slow Food USA, is co-hosting, with Broadway Brewery, a Terra Madre celebration at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 6 at the brewery. Five delegates–Walker Claridge of Broadway Brewery, Craig Cyr of Wine Cellar & Bistro, Brook Harlan of Columbia Area Career Center Culinary Arts program, Julie Walker of Greystone Farm and Bernadette Dryden, co-leader of SFKT–represented mid-Missouri at the international Slow Food Terra Madre conference in Italy in late October.
<br />
<br />That evening, at the brewery, as we eat a specially prepared dinner inspired by food we tasted during the conference, each of the delegates will share with the dinner guests a few things that he or she learned at Terra Madre. We also will have a running photographic backdrop during the dinner. Guests will get a "taste" of the conference as they watch photos of the delegates–many in the native dress of their countries–share their stories, foods, music and customs. It truly was the Olympics of the sustainable food world!
<br />
<br />Terra Madre brought together 6,000 farmers, educators, cooks and food activists from 160 countries. The "food communities" of Terra Madre come together biennially to share innovative solutions and time-honored traditions for keeping small-scale agriculture and sustainable food production alive and well.
<br />
<br />While at the conference, Carlo Petrini–Slow Food International president and that wonderful Italian who started the organization more than 20 years ago–asked each chapter to help build 1,000 gardens in Africa in one year. Consequently, chapters throughout the world will donate to this project through fundraisers and other events such as ours. Broadway Brewery will donate a generous portion from each dinner reservation to the garden project.
<br />
<br />We also thought it would be an appropriate partnership for the Mustard Seed to sell some of their African merchandise at the brewery that evening. They will have African baskets, holiday items, jewelry, chocolate, kitchen and home accessories available. For more information, please visit the following sites:
