Slow Food City’s Edge is a chapter for the DuPage, Kane and DeKalb counties in IL. We are looking for members interested in participating and learning about the slow food movement. Slow Food is an international organization with more than 100,000 members worldwide who celebrate local and seasonal food traditions, support sustainable agriculture and embrace the pleasures of eating good food around the table. Additionally, Slow Food City’s Edge is committed to our community and the environment.

Upcoming Event
Our first ever chili cook-off, so get your kettles ready and come up with the award winning chili favorite. The winning chili will receive a $50.00 grand prize. You can bring a chili to enter or just bring a spoon for tasting.
The event will be held in the historic barn on the Newkirk residence at 3N369 LaFox Road, just north of Campton Hills Road, St. Charles. Time 5-9:00 p.m. There will be a barn dance after the tasting with dance callers, so bring the whole family and any interested friends.
Cost: $15 each and children 10 years old and under will be free. Any adult who has prepared chili (one cook per family) can get in for $12 and be eligible for the $50 grand prize!

Food is a common language and universal right. Slow Food USA envisions a world in which all people can eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet. In essence, food that is good, clean and fair.
Seeking to create dramatic and lasting change in the food system, Slow Food USA reconnects Americans with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils and waters that produce our food. We work to inspire a transformation in food policy, production practices and market forces so that they ensure equity, sustainability and pleasure in the food we eat.
