Atlanta Food and Wine
Festival
More than 800 participants attended the educational part of
this first day of the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival at the Lowe’s Atlanta
Hotel on 11th Street in Atlanta, GA. They enjoyed the Lexicon of
Sustainability Pop Up Show, which was displayed throughout the lobby of the
Conference floor at the Lowe’s.
When asked which image he remembered the most, one farmer
replied, “The one about Farmer Rick’s neighbor not growing things in his garden
all year round touched my heart. Why would he do that?”
I was the docent for the Pop Up Show that day, and I met all
sorts of wonderful people. Most of them wanted to collaborate with Slow Food
Atlanta in some way! That will be great!

Other docents came to be in charge of the Pop Up Show
Saturday, so Peter and I enjoyed 3 of the classes. I went to one about
Chocolate that was intriguing and very tasty! Then, Peter and I both attended
one about the Ark of Taste (endangered plants) where our friend on the Slow
Food Board Chef Asha Gomez cooked and spoke. The last one for me was about
Foraging Two Ways, with another Slow Food Board friend, Chef Steven
Satterfield. I’d love to know all he knows about foraging!
Peter’s going back to the AFWF tomorrow, and Monica is to be
the docent. I’ll look forward to hearing about their day.
