Slow Food Berry to JB and Slow Food Saddleback are introducing their inaugural year of the Snail of Approval in 2019.
Slow Food
Snail of Approval
Illawarra to Jervis Bay
The Slow Food movement seeks a world in which all people can access and enjoy food that is good for them, good for those who grow it and good for the planet as a whole.
Slow Food aims to inspire GOOD, CLEAN and FAIR food for everyone.
GOOD – seasonal food of good quality which is flavoursome and healthy.
CLEAN – food that is produced in ways which preserve biodiversity and does no harm to the environment.
FAIR – conditions and pay for producers and staff and still be a fair price for consumers.
Local Slow Food Committees wish to recognise local food producers, artisans, retail outlets and restaurants that promote the Slow Food message of good, clean and fair food, and the protection of biodiversity on the South Coast of NSW.
This will allow customers, friends and supporters of good food and produce to see that those awarded a Snail of Approval are special farmers or retailers supporting healthy and seasonal choices through accessible and responsible local food production and supply.
Locals that meet the prerequisites above are asked to self nominate and our Committee will then be in touch as soon as possible to complete the procedure.
Nominations will close on Friday 15 March 2019, and Snail of Approval recipients will be recognised at an event at Kiama Markets on 3 April.
Snail of Approval decals and a Certificate of Approval will be provided for you to use, together with publicity on your and our websites, and at all Slow Food events.
To apply please click the SNAIL OF APPROVAL heading at the top of this page and fill in the application form.
