Slow Food & Slow Money Behind-the-Scenes Mixer at Prescott Market
Join Slow Food East Bay and Slow Money Northern California for a special “Behind the Scenes” mixer, with tour and discussion at Prescott Market in West Oakland
Monday September 29th, 5:00-7:00pm
Location: Prescott Market, 1620 18th Street Oakland 94607
Join fellow food lovers, makers, and funders at a collaborative evening bringing attention to food business development. When we talk about what a healthy food system looks like, it’s not just farmers and environmental stewards and conscientious eaters: It’s also funders and support providers. It’s businesses striving to be sustainable, pay their employees and owners livable wages, and play a role in their regional community.
Intrigued? Come out on Monday Sept 29th to learn more about this through the lens of Prescott Market in West Oakland!
