Slow Food USA seeks to create dramatic and lasting change in the food system. We reconnect Americans with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils and waters that produce our food. We seek to inspire a transformation in food policy, production practices and market forces so that they ensure equity, sustainability and pleasure in the food we eat.

As a chapter of Slow Food USA, Slow Food Madison strives to bring people together to enjoy the pleasures of life while promoting and sustaining the producers of good, clean and fair food and beverages within southern Wisconsin.
