Supporting locally grown food & cultural diversity
Since our last Taste Education event was such a success, we’re having another on Saturday on October 23, 2010 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at Ali’i Kula Lavender.
Come and learn about the differences between locally produced food and products that are shipped in from far away.

Our next Slow Food Maui meeting will be held at Flatbread, 89 Hana Highway in Paia.
This meeting is now full. We appreciate all your support and look forward to seeing you at our next meeting. Stay tuned for details.
A while back, a viral video from the Humane Society exposed the appalling practices of IHOP’s egg supplier and it made you want to give up eggs forever, or at least give up IHOP.
The truth is IHOP was unfairly targetted. True, you probably don’t want to go to a restaurant where the eggs are products of such horrible practices, but the real truth is it’s not limited to them. The eggs you get at the market could be products of the same practices.
And it’s not just the eggs. Do you really know where all your food comes from?

Slow Food Maui’s Dania Katz organized a “tweetup” at Whole Foods Kahului this morning. What’s a tweetup? That’s where Twitter users (or “tweeters,” or “twits”) “meet up” IRL (“In Real Life”) to socialize, network and sometimes promote a venue.
Whole Foods Maui is now offering Sunday brunch from 8:00 a.m. to noon, featuring whatever’s on your plate for $7.99 a pound. Slow Food doesn’t get any better than this.
