Vision
We envision an Ozarks where good, clean, local food has a place on every shelf, menu, and table. Consumers value what grows here and embrace seasonality. Farmers and their workers are fairly compensated and supported in their wellbeing. This way of eating brings us together and leaves our bodies, communities, and land better off.
Mission
Ozark Slow Food strengthens local food culture in the Ozarks by:
· Supporting farmers
· Celebrating what’s grown here
· Helping more people experience the joy of local food
· Encouraging farming practices that respect the earth and human health.
We deepen ties between growers and eaters to create a food system that helps both thrive.
