Slow Food East Bay (SFEB) is a volunteer-driven and member-supported nonprofit, the local chapter of the global Slow Food movement. We are one of over 80 Slow Food chapters in the United States operating within the network of Slow Food USA.

We believe that all people have the right to enjoy food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet. Food represents a common language that allows us all to reconnect with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils and clean waters that produce everything we eat. Our work is inspired by East Bay’s ethnically unique and culturally diverse food systems which intersect social justice, environmental concerns, health and wellness, cultural identity, and the community.

As stewards of the Slow Food movement, we utilize joy and deliciousness as powerful motivators to inspire thoughtful choices aligned with our mission. We believe in creating lasting and equitable changes to your food systems by honoring local knowledge and taking appropriate action to support, deepen or create local food justice and food sovereignty efforts so that we can change the world.
