Terra Madre in Torino, Italy

We're preparing for Terra Madre. And just what is Terra Madre, you ask??
Terra Madre is an international network of over 7,000 food producers, cooks, and university educators from 150 countries, including over 800 delegates from the U.S. united by a common goal of global sustainability in food. Across cultures and climates, the "food communities" of Terra Madre come together to share innovative solutions and time-honored traditions for keeping small-scale agriculture and sustainable food production alive and well. The next edition of Terra Madre will be October 23-27, 2008.
'Terra Madre is...a moment in which everyone is on equal terms, a moment of coalition among diverse realms. Not just in the realm of knowledge, but also the realm of communities, which have to learn to govern themselves to be sovereign. ' - Carlo Petrini




Tonight was the Slow Food Skagit Convivium's (I know, I know, but I do so like the Latin) fundraiser at Adrift in Anacortes. Attended by over 50 people, it was a rousing success. Excellent food, excellent wine and wonderful conversations. Lots more to come!
