PORTSMOUTH—
Come celebrate our shared roots with great local food and fun upstairs at The Press Room on Thursday, March 10 from 5-7:45 p.m. Learn more about Terra Madre, known as the “farmers’ United Nations,” from local delegates who represented the Seacoast region at the Terra Madre conference in October 2010: John Forti of Slow Food Seacoast, Jean Jennings of Meadow’s Mirth, and Evan Mallett of Black Trumpet Bistro. These Seacoast representatives joined more than 5,000 delegates from 150 countries at the Olympic Stadium in Turin, Italy, to discuss how to create new economies and artisanal products around local agriculture, horticulture, and fisheries.
During the “Taste of Place” social, the local delegates will share the hope that they saw at Terra Madre in models of sustainable local practices in Italy and around the world. Evan Mallett will talk about being cleaner and greener, balancing aquaculture and wild fish stocks, and encouraging children to eat local and fresh ingredients in their school lunches. Jean Jennings will discuss the cost of good food and accessibility issues. She also is organizing some local musicians to entertain us! John Forti will talk about inspired land use, the Salone del Gusto (the world’s largest artisanal food marketplace), the Renewing America’s Food Traditions (RAFT) Alliance (preserving at-risk heirloom produce and heritage-breed foods), and creating new traditions that will lead us to a better future.
In addition, Slow Food Seacoast will be distributing free seeds of native heirloom fruits and vegetables featured in the RAFT Alliance to anyone who is willing to grow, eat, and save seeds of these varieties to preserve them for the future, because the best way to restore at-risk varieties is to grow and eat them.
Admission to Terra Madre “Taste of Place” A Slow Food Seacoast Social is free. Black Trumpet Bistro will provide sumptuous internationally flavored appetizers made with local ingredients. Please patronize the cash bar to thank The Press Room for hosting this event. The Press Room is located at 77 Daniel Street, Portsmouth.
