SLOW FOOD EVENTS COMING UP  BIG TIME SUMMER FAMILY FUN! Join Us on July 11th 10am-2pm (rain date: July 12) for a Family Picnic on the expansive grounds of Roseda Beef. in the gorgeous rolling hills of northern Baltimore County.  We'll start with an old fashioned hay ride tour of the ranch. Then we'll hunker back for a down-home summertime picnic. Roseda will supply hamburgers and hotdogs (and buns, of course). bring your own side dishes, condiments, cutlery, plates and beverages etc. (Please "Be Green..." if you can!) There will be four 8-foot tables and hay bales for sitting but you may want to bring along a picnic blanket or folding chairs of your own. $8 Adults (over 12) $ 5 Kids 3-12 Babes in arms no charge About Roseda: "Roseda Beef is a family-operated business, started in 1999. We are a farm dedicated to raising the finest Black Angus beef. From cattle fed only on grass, soybean meal, corn, hay and fresh water, with grain to finish. We use no growth hormones. No chemical additives. No antibiotics, unless medically necessary. We emphasize quality over quantity. We dry-age every cut of our beef the old-fashioned way, for a delightful tenderness, and fuller, richer flavor. Our goal is simple: to provide the finest beef you'll ever eat."

By giving schools the resources to serve real food, we can make sure that the legacy we're leaving our children is a future filled with opportunity, security and good health. To make that happen, our leaders in Congress need to hear that when it comes to our children, change can't wait. Click HERE to sign our online petition. That's why Slow Food is organizing a National Eat-In for Labor Day, Sept. 7, 2009. On that day, people across America will gather with their neighbors for public potlucks that send our nation's leaders a clear message: It's time to provide our children with real food at school. We are also launching a national campaign to reach out to every legislator, school and PTA group to spread our message that children who grow up enjoying food that is both delicious and good for them learn healthy eating habits that last throughout their lives. Those habits can start at school - but only if we give schools the resources to serve real food instead of the overly processed fast food that endangers their health. Here in Baltimore we are seeking volunteers to help with that effort. If you can donate some of your time and energy to the campaign please contact Martha Lucius , Slow Food Baltimore Time For Lunch Coordinator: bohemecafe@mac.com Or Bonnie North bonnie200@gmail.com Let's get this rolling and show our support and concern here in Baltimore! In the months ahead: We are taking August off but look for exciting things come September such as: A Fall Harvest Dinner at the historic, circa 1764 and beautifully restored, Fair Hill Inn in Elkton next to the Fair Hill Races.  Chefs Phil Pyle and Brian Shaw are doing absolutely INCREDIBLE things out here in Cecil County's lush "Horse Country!" They have herb and vegetable gardens, bee hives and vineyards on the grounds of the inn - a full wine cellar and "cave" where their homemade cheeses and home-cured meats are stored - and a menu that will delight and inspire. Baltimore Slow Food leaders enjoyed an amazing tour and tasting there recently and we can't wait to invite everyone out to experience this themselves! GREAT NEW WEBSITE RESOURCE!
