DEAR COMMUNITY,

Something surprising happened to me in the middle of a storytelling session at our Farm to Fork Festival this year. One of the presenters, Shoshone storyteller Rose Ann Abrahamson, identified me and my role at Slow Food as that of a food protector. I’d never heard this term before, and, as the tribal elders continued with stories of food and food traditions, it began to sink in. I found myself listening in a new way and feeling a renewed calling and expanded understanding of what it means to protect food. The basic and universal need for food shared by all humans throughout history combined with each of our own food stories, food cultures, traditions and recipes connect us deeply to each other, to land, to animals, to plants, and to our ancestors and future generations. And we need food protectors perhaps today more than ever if we are to realize the beautiful vision shared by anyone involved with Slow Food in the Tetons, “good, clean and fair food for all.”

Food access has always been a core value of Slow Food in the Tetons and is one way in which we work as protectors to ensure that local food is available to everyone. This year, we continued to expand our food access programming by distributing a total of $152,247 in local food discounts ($86,860 at the Online Marketplace, $40,446 at the Farm Stand and $24,941 at the Winter People’s Market) to over 700 community members who found cost to be a barrier to buy local food.

In addition to food discounts, Slow Food broadened access to local food by providing 150 garden plots to local families who planted, cultivated, and harvested an average of 50-80 pounds of vegetables and flowers per household. We find annually that these shared growing spaces help to offset food costs, build knowledge and skills, and foster community among friends and neighbors. Food access is also about supporting

our local farmers, and this year, Slow Food provided nine farms with a total of $50,000 for farm projects to enable expanded local food growing operations. Increased sales related to the Local Food Discount Program coupled with grant support helped several producers to capture a profound increase in local food sales (our top five producers saw between a 65% and 186% increase in Online Marketplace sales).

A key role that we play as food protectors is also to create a strong and resilient food community to help consumers connect with local and regional producers. The People’s Market is a living example of what this looks like, a place to purchase local food and to catch up with both farmers and neighbors. In 2023, the People’s Market featured 115 vendors over 17 weeks and generated $530,000 in total sales for local farmers, ranchers, food producers, and artisans. This year’s market also included on-site kids cooking classes where participants shopped the market and then prepared a meal using local ingredients. Local Food education is an important way we build community, and we also taught several cooking and gardening classes and workshops in partnership with Coombs Outdoors and Teton Literacy Center.

Finally, we wrapped up an exciting and successful year with our three day Farm to Fork Festival featuring a farmers market, 20 food related workshops, a low cost community lunch and keynote presentations by Native American farmers and activists, Jason Baldes and Winona LaDuke. This event truly captured the spirit of our Slow Food vision with a message that echoed through the entire event about the importance of protecting our food to ensure a better tomorrow.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of our Slow Food work. See you next year.

Warmly,

Scott Steen Executive Director

VISION

Good, clean, and fair food for all.

MISSION

To grow the local and regional sustainable food economy by supporting producers, educating consumers, and connecting them together in the spirit of good, clean and fair food.

ABOUT

The Slow Food movement began in Italy in 1989 as an effort to oppose the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat. Today, Slow Food is a global initiative in over 160 countries with 80+ USA chapters. Slow Food in the Tetons began in 2008, is based in Jackson, WY, and works primarily in the Teton-area food system. Slow Food envisions 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… “good, clean and fair for all”.
