Every year, Slow Food Utah takes applications from the community for micro-grants. This program was created for local food-related projects, especially for small-scale food growers and producers, community innovators, and educators.
In the past Slow Food has funded school gardens, the building of a goat barn, purchase of a tractor, seeds and greenhouse supplies, new baby piglets, and much more. All this is possible with help from our donors and our annual fundraising event, the Feast of Five Senses. |
Any individual, small business, or non-profit committed to Slow Food International principles of good, clean, fair food, cultural diversity, and convivality can apply.
High priorities include projects that help increase or enhance: - local skills and capacity,
- the availability of locally produced foods
(especially artisanal, Ark of Taste, wildcrafted, heirloom, or sustainably produced),
- regional and cultural food traditions,
- taste or youth education.
Download a copy of the application form and follow the detailed instructions on Slow Food's website.
