Slow Food Miami

Slow Food Miami is a non-profit, 100% volunteer organization. Our local members are passionate about good food, supporting local growers, producers, fishers and artisan food & beverage makers that celebrate Miami's diverse food culture. By acting locally, we are helping to build a world where the food we eat is good for us, good for farmers and workers, and good for the planet.

Slow Food Miami focuses on education through our Edible School Garden grant program. Your donation on Give Miami Day will directly grow our school garden program. Our aim is to expand the garden program to as many grade-levels as possible, in as many schools as possible. 

Slow Food Miami gardens span all socio-economic areas of Miami-Dade, but our greatest impact has been in introducing healthful eating to children and families in areas where food deserts are common and fast food prevails. It’s a joy to see students get their hands dirty, grow their own food, and make healthy choices because of their newfound knowledge and pride.
