Upcoming events at Slow Food Brandywine Valley. UPDATE: Dairy tour canceled.

"Slow food" is an international movement that has gained popularity in the last decade.  It basically celebrates the slow preparation and enjoyment of foods, best enjoyed sitting around a table with family and friends, as an antidote to the increasingly fast and stressful pace of the world.  It works in tandem with the "buy local" movement. 

You have to be a member of Slow Food Brandywine Valley to participate in their dinners and classes, but this organization seems to have enough going to make it worth your while (not actually sure of this anymore, in light of the casual way they canceled their biggest upcoming event).  Many of their events take place at Coverdale Farms in Greenville, or at the Delaware Nature Society.

The next big event is:  UPDATE - it's canceled, via a Facebook post that says:  "the seven stars tour will be postponed until a less busy time! be well in the meantime!"  That's it?  No explanation?  I'm a little disappointed in the way they handled this, to be honest.

This is what the event was supposed to be:
"April 30th--Seven Stars Dairy Tour--come see what a REAL dairy farm looks like! FREE!

SFBV also conducts regular cooking and baking classes.  To see their full event schedule:
