Congratulations, Glenn Roberts on Your Ark of Taste Appointment
Slow Food Columbia would like to congratulate Glenn Roberts on the recent news out of Slow Food USA of his appointment to the U.S. Ark of Taste committee! You can read more about Glenn and the Ark of Taste on the Slow Food USA website.
Here is the description of the Ark of Taste taken straight from Slow Food USA:
Ark of Taste nominations are reviewed by a committee of food lovers around the country, including home cooks, gardeners, culinary instructors, grocers, chefs, food historians and farmers. Committee members hold three-year terms, during which they review nominations and champion U.S. food biodiversity by organizing events, leading Ark food restoration projects, and contributing to Slow Food USA publications and education material.
Slow Food Columbia is a big fan of Anson Mills and is glad to learn of the growing SC presence on this committee (Emile DeFelice being another committee member). Three cheers!

Plant an Extra Row for Harvest Hope!
As The State newspaper recently reported, Harvest Hope Food Bank is asking everyone with home gardens to plant an extra row for those in need of food. When it's ready for harvest, you can donate it to a local food bank like Harvest Hope!
In today's economic climate, this is an excellent, affordable way to give back to the community! Slow Food Columbia encourages everyone planning and planting their gardens this season to add an extra row.
