For 13 years, we have toured farms and food events in Santa Barbara County. Beginning in 2024 we will cook and enjoy food, garden, volunteer and continue farm tours and more in SB and possibly other communities to learn more about our food system. We are collaborate with Slow Food International [www.slowfood.com](www.slowfood.com)
Each month we meet at various locations to learn the secrets of Local cuisine from the people who produce, market and prepare our food. We visit farms, markets, restaurants, culinary stores, wineries, the marina and many more. Our goal is to bridge the gap between taste, health and agroecology. I am a long time foodie and dietitian who teaches nutrition at Westmont college and to chefs at SBCC and with the School of Extended Learning. Feel free to email me to share your thoughts and ideas.
\*\* Recently I have started to post food and farm events by other organizations, mostly non-profits. It has crowded our calendar and may be confusing. I promote events that meet our goal of education and fun. I do not always attend these events although I wish I could.
