Future Projects

Given the variety of backgrounds of our membership,
our ideas are equally varied

• Connecting area school cafeterias to local farms
• Sharing skills, tips and equipment for canning, dehydrating, and preserving
• Extending the season for the West Cape May Farmer’s Market
• Connecting artisan food producers from inside and outside the South Jersey area with local restaurants
• Taking field trips to wineries and other artisan producers
• Collaborating with other Slow Food Conviviums (e.g., attending events in Princeton, Philadelphia, North Jersey or New York City)
• Hosting local, slow food “pot lucks” in members homes, places of worship, and/or public venues
• Having our meetings at restaurants that feature local and/or seasonal foods
• Creating an advocacy group to support all of the above, including perhaps “Victory Gardens” in people’s backyards or community gardens or Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms
• Sponsoring the Northwest Earth Institute’s “Menu for the Future” 6-session study series
