This is the first ever Slow Food Farmers Membership in Canada! We created it to make it easier for farmers to join Slow Food, understanding that the $90 for the year can be a lot. We are offering a partial trade for credit at your farm. This credit could be used to purchase ingredients for an event or as a gift certificate in a silent auction. It's another way for our members to connect directly with our farmers. The trade would be for a maximum of $50, making the Farmer’s membership for one year only $40.
