$900 for Local School Gardens – Thanks to YOU!!

December 20, 2010 by admin

These schools received funding to purchase seeds, tools, equipment to help get their school gardens ready for the spring. all funds came from the events you attended and the generous donations you made! The schools are: Weaverville Elementary School, Evergreen Community Charter School, Claxton Elementary School, The New Classical Academy, Asheville Catholic and Hot Springs Elementary School.

Here in Asheville, our local Slow Food Convivium is blessed with an abundance of tailgate markets, organic growers, food artisans, and incredible restaurants. We use tasting’s, field trips, and various kinds of food-centered celebrations to explore authentic flavors… and to slow down and enjoy a world of good food and good company.

Who We Are

Slow Food Asheville is a local chapter, or “convivium,” of the international Slow Food movement. Local groups are called “convivia” because they bring together, in a convivial and enjoyable way, people who love food and traditions. Our convivium was founded in March, 2003.
