“It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us on June 9-11 for our Second National Gathering at Shelburne Farms, Vermont   http://www.slowmoneyalliance.org/national-gathering.html

one of the premier historic and sustainable agriculture sites in the country. This 1400-acre site originally owned by Lila Vanderbilt Webb is located on the shore of Lake Champlain and is the site of three barns, each one of which is more memorable than the last (if you don’t think a barn can be memorable, you will have your mind changed…).

We’re expecting a strong turn-out, so we suggest you secure your housing as soon as possible. Link here

for our list of recommended hotels. NOTE: the unique agricultural nature of the site means you will be staying a few miles away at one of these hotels.

Slow Money… It’s not an ISM (as in capitalism, socialism, consumerism, market fundamentalism…).  But it is a new way of connecting investors to local food systems, catalyzing new forms of social investing and philanthropy for the 21st century.  Join the emerging network of investors, donors, entrepreneurs, farmers, and activists who are giving birth to the nurture capital industry.”

See you there,

Woody Tasch

Chairman, Slow Money

Film Screening & Panel: Food Fight and discussion about Slow Money Alliance
Where: Science Center Lecture Hall A, Cambridge campus 1 Oxford Street Cambridge, MA

Does the term “foodie” inspire, irritate, or intrigue you? Do you wonder what the big deal is about food that is locally grown, organic, or “sustainable”? Do you wonder whether your food choices really matter? Join the Harvard University Dining Services Food Literacy Project for a screening of the award-winning documentary Food Fight and a discussion with filmmaker Chris Taylor and Woody Tasch, the founder of Slow Money Alliance.  Food Fight explores the political and social changes that shaped 20th century American agricultural policy and food culture and the changing relationship between consumers and big agribusiness.  Slow Money Alliance is a new nonprofit that combines principles of philanthropy and investing to “bring money back down to earth” by encouraging investment in small food enterprises, local food systems, and local economies.  Questions?  Contact theresa_mcculla@harvard.edu for information. The event is free and open to the public.
