Who We Are

Our Vision: Good, Clean and Fair Food for All

Our Mission: Slow Food in the Tetons works to grow our local and regional sustainable food economy by supporting producers, educating consumers and connecting them together in the spirit of good, clean and fair food.

What We Do:

Education and Learning - reconnecting all ages to the experience of growing, preparing, eating, sharing and enjoying food.

After school kids cooking classes and adult cooking classes and workshops aim to expand awareness and knowledge of how food is grown, develop and strengthen scratch-cooking and gardening skills, and increase enthusiasm for and consumption of healthy nutrient dense food.
Farm to Fork Festival is a multi-day event during the first weekend in October dedicated to celebrating Teton-area cuisine, farming and ranching heritage, and the growing local food movement. The event is family friendly, open to the entire community as well as visitors, and offers a variety of free and low cost activities.

Community Food System - providing year-round commerce and connections for local food producers and consumers.

The People’s Market which is a year-round farmer’s market for: local and regional producers; an incubator for local food businesses; and a gathering space for the community to celebrate good, clean and fair food.
Online Marketplace offers local, regional and seasonal produce, dairy, meats, packaged goods and prepared food. The Online Marketplace also lists the farm name, farm location and growing practices on every product allowing shoppers to make more informed decisions. The Online Marketplace is a resource to maintain the connection between local producers and consumers through the year as an added convenience and complement to in-person farmer’s markets.
Slow Food Farm Stand offers fresh, seasonal produce and packaged food on behalf of small-to-medium local and regional producers. The Farm Stand lists the farm name, farm location and growing practices on every product, allowing shoppers to make more informed decisions. Although it is located in the middle of town, this seasonal spread of vegetables, fruits, herbs and fresh baked pies and jam under the tent creates a unique on-the-farm feel.

Good, Clean and Fair Food Access - ensuring that all people can access food that is good for them, good for those who grow it and good for the planet.

Jackson Hole Community Gardens program provides gardening opportunities for people without home gardens, cultivates green space, builds community, increases access to fresh and healthy food, and acts as a living classroom for growers of all ages. The May Park Garden is located in East Jackson and the Blair Garden is located across from Jackson Hole Middle School, and the Grove Garden is located next to the Teton County Public Library.
Local Food Discount Program is working to make locally and regionally produced nutritious food more accessible and affordable for everyone in our community. We create opportunities to increase food access by expanding our existing programs and working with partner organizations to reach as may people in the community as we can. Our Slow Food Voucher program aims to reduce the cost barrier to accessing local farm and ranch food at The People’s Market and the Slow Food Farm Stand.

Teton Farm Fund is awarded annually to one local food producer with the goal of supporting Teton area farmers and ranchers and increasing the amount of good, clean and fair food in our community. This fund will provide support for emergency relief, capital expenditures, creation of new farms/gardens, finding or maintaining workers, producer business incubation projects, and other food production projects.
