GREEN this Christmas!

Donate to the Terra Madre Fund and support sustainable farming and sending our local producers to the 2012 conference.

JOIN Slow Food and your funds support a A Garden in Africa project. Spread the word, tell your family and friends!

Inspired by Daniela Velez, Slow Food Volunteer, Sheila donated to the Terra Madre Fund saying:

“This Christmas gift is in honour of Daniela, a lovely friend who has introduced us to Slow Food Vancouver and who has inspired us to think before we eat…”

Come support one of the newest members of Slow Food at The Christmas Market this year!  Slow Food Members receive $1.00 off their purchases.  The Old Tea Haus is from Vienna, Austria, and have been organic tea specialists since 1988. Come by and try some ‘Advent Christmas Calendar Tea’ or ‘Dancing Stars Tea.’

And be sure to visit Schokolade Cafe, thank them for their donation to the Terra Madre Fund, and buy your holiday chocolates!
December 18th is the UN International Day for Migrants and their families. Support the UN International Day on December 17th at the Latin Fair and come out and support the migrant agriculture workers who will be demonstrating against the Mexican Consulate against blacklisting on December 18th at 2:00pm.
