Consider the African supergrain fonio for your nex

Consider the African supergrain fonio for your next @meatlessmonday. This grain has been kept alive by West African farmers and tradition, and is now slowly making its way to the global stage. [Don't have any fonio at home? Look no further than @yolelefoods!] Try the recipe at the link in bio for these Fonio Stuffed Peppers from West Africa using white fonio, an Ark of Taste product, and slow down for Meatless Monday!⁠

Taking meat off the menu at least one day a week is a great way to move toward consuming a little less meat in general. Slow Food advocates for better meat, less meat. If we resolve to eating “better meat, less,” we can begin to shift the power away from large, harmful corporations and empower producers who raise their animals according to the highest treatment and quality standards. By eating consciously and locally, you are choosing to support ethical and sustainable practices while reducing your environmental impact. Learn more at slowfoodusa.org/slow-meat/

In response to seeing farmers, and in particular farmers of color, lose sales after shelter in place orders, @slowfoodeastbay worked with regional partners to launch the Sister Farms Project. The Sister Farms Project finds urban CSAs and food distribution programs to purchase produce and creates new rural-urban networks and sales opportunities that specifically uplift disadvantaged farmers. ⁠⠀

Ladies and gentlemen, the Sugar Hubbard Squash! Th

Ladies and gentlemen, the Sugar Hubbard Squash! The giant squash variety is a cross between a Blue Hubbard and a Sweet Meat squash. It's very difficult to find in the commercial market, but we were lucky enough to get a batch of seeds from Dale and Liz of Sherman’s Pioneer Farm in Coupeville, Washington, for this year's Plant a Seed kit! Learn more about Liz and Dale, and this unusual and very cool winter squash, at the link in bio.⁠

This big beauty is growing our communications director @quinchoso's garden—who's growing the Sugar Hubbard out there? Let us see it! Take a photo of your giant and tag @slowfoodusa⁠
