Happy Saturday everyone! Drumroll please We have a new Slow Food Presidium! Thanks to the work of farmers and institutions, the recognition of this Icela...ndic, heritage poultry breed supports the protection and promotion of the island’s biodiversity. They are very colorful, medium-sized chickens, rather long-legged and with a light build. They are bred for their eggs, since the chickens are typical free-range birds, coping with Iceland's harsh environment all year around and laying eggs even in the dark, cold season, says Jóhanna G. Harðardóttir, the Presidium producers’ coordinator. Slow Food's recognition of the Presidium is an encouraging sign that bodes well for the future: By establishing the Presidium, the marketing of labelled products, mainly eggs, will improve, as consumers will pay attention to the narrative labels and appreciate the efforts of the small-scale, local producers," says Dr. Ólafur R. Dýrmundsson. "This means the consumers are likely to help us to maintain and preserve this breed in the future and also help us to fight the genetic erosion now taking place in native poultry breeds worldwide. Our hopes for the future are certainly strengthened by our links with Slow Food and its ideology. #SlowFood #GoodCleanFair #Biodiversity #SlowFoodPresidium

The local food system is alive and resilient! @hartbeetfarm Posted @withregram @hartbeetfarm This year has challenged us all in so many ways. As a small farm, we have adapted many times over the season such as temporarily providing preorders for home delivery and curbside pickup, modifying our farmers market setup, and adding more shares to our CSA. We have tremendous appreciation for all of you that found ways to adapt as well while still supporting your local farmers, producers, and businesses. At a time when the industrial food system has stumbled, faltered, and sometimes outright failed, this year has shown us that the local food system is alive, diverse, and resilient. Thank you all for your continued support and considerations.

Every year Slow Food St. Louis awards Biodiversity Microgrants to small farmers within 150 miles of the city hoping to pursue new or expand already existing pro...jects that serve the St. Louis area. Since 2009, we have awarded over $87,000. This year, due to the pandemic, we are relying on supporters like you to help us keep this program going. Please consider making a donation through our GoFundMe fundraiser. This grant season is also unique because we are focusing on BIPOC farmers. Please help us reach our $5,000 goal by December 14th when the grant applications open! Any amount, big or small, gets us closer to our goal! gf.me/u/y3f72h Want to help but are unable to donate at this time? You can help us spread the word by sharing this post! gf.me/u/y3f72h

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)? At Hart|Beet Farm we believe our community should have access to locally grown, fresh produce. During the growing... season our farm offers a limited number of shares to the community. Customers can purchase their share during the winter, or up to the beginning of the season, providing our farm with much needed operating expenses (which are high in the spring). In return, members will receive a weekly share of fresh vegetables and herbs from our farm during the growing season. A membership with us represents a mutually beneficial relationship where we each share the risks and bounty of food production. 2021 CSA sign-ups begin January 1st. Visit our website for more info about what to expect in your weekly shares, pick-up locations, and more frequently asked questions. www.hartbeetfarm.com/CSA #communitysupportedagriculture #csashare #knowyourfarmers #knowyourfood #knownandgrownstl #pesticidefreealways #certifiednaturallygrown #regenerativeagriculture

From Russia: a dish whose origins are still debated. Beef Stroganoff is one of the great classics of 19th century Russian cuisine, and in the 20th it became pop...ular the world over, with significant variations on the original recipe. The dish is composed of strips of sautéed beef served in smetana, a sour cream sauce produced using lactic-fermented cream and widely used across Eastern Europe. It's a versatile sauce, with a delicate and lightly acidic flavor that can accompany both main courses and desserts, cold or hot. Regarding the name of the dish, one theory holds that it was invented by the French chef of Count Pavel Stroganoff, who added the sour cream to the beef in a fricassee, to please the Count's palate. According to others, however, the name comes from the a doctor who cured a case of herring poisoning with an usual medicine: beef, onions and sour cream! with Mike Nikolaev and Slow Food OKA

Here's a message from Paolo di Croce, Slow Food’s Secretary General, on our vision for TODAY and TOMORROW’s global food system. The Food System Vision Prize... is an invitation for organizations across the globe to develop a Vision of the regenerative and nourishing food system that they aspire to create by the year 2050. #FoodVision2050 #SlowFood

The Resilience Fund project, aimed at supporting the fishermen of the Mediterranean Prud’homies Slow Food Presidium, was presented today on the Terra Madre p...latform at https://terramadresalonedelgusto.com/eventi/. This initiative, endorsed by FPT Industrial, was conceived by Slow Food with the aim of promoting collective projects with a significant sustainable and social impact, by helping them develop their potential to transform the food system. These fishermen represent a collective system of food production that perfectly matches the founding values of Slow Food. This is why Slow Food picked them as a necessary model of change to cope with the challenges of the health and environmental crisis and thus, with the support of FPT Industrial, has decided to finance the next actions of this collective to accelerate the innovative processes they are putting in place. #TerraMadre #GoodCleanFair #SlowFoodPresidium
