Notes:
At a Glance: This website is a product of Slow Food USA, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to supporting and celebrating the food traditions of North America through programs and activities revolving aroundTaste Education, Defending Biodiversity and Building Food Communities. Its goals are to create a food system that emphasizes good quality, environmental sustainability, and social justice. The website provides information on local chapters of Slow Food USA, events, how to live the Slow Food lifestyle, and the various programs the organization is involved in.

Best for: Anyone who enjoys food and believes that it should nourish the earth as well as ourselves.

Standout Features: Slow Food’s “Ark of Taste” lists traditional and artisanal food products and varieties by region (including parts of Canada) and type. Each listing includes an in-depth explanation of its presence of the list, its history, where it is available for purchase, and if applicable, ingredients.

Keep in Mind: There are no ads to be seen on the website except for Slow Food’s own programs. They are a non-profit, so any money they make goes directly in the many educational programs and activism they are involved in.
