Get Fresh: With Slow Food RVA

A few months ago the Anderson Gallery asked me to help put together one of their summer Happy Hour events around the theme of Slow Food. Last Wednesday evening a great crowd gathered to celebrate the taste of summer, connect with area growers, and learn about sustainability, biodiversity, and Richmond’s food community— all while sampling locally-produced, seasonal foods. The line-up included:

• a performance by Richmond’s Gourd Trio
 • PizzaTonight on-site selling from their mobile wood-fired pizza oven 
• biodynamic and organic wine tasting with Williams Corner 
• tutored salumi tastings by Olli Salumeria  
• a tasting of Sagitarrio olive oil from Tuscany
•  raw goat and Cow milk tasting
•  Manakintowne Growers with Padrone peppers and radicchio slaw
