Slow Food Thompson Okanagan

SFTO is the local convivium of the international Slow Food movement in the Thompson-Okanagan region in BC. Through meetings, events, communication, and celebration, our mission is:

• to defend biodiversity in our food supply
• to spread taste education
• to connect producers with co-producers through events and initiatives

Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization with supporters in 150 countries around the world who are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment. Slow Food believes that everyone has a fundamental right to the pleasure of good food and consequently the responsibility to protect the heritage of biodiversity, culture, and knowledge that make this pleasure possible.
