We did it!

We met in person!

Big thanks to the intrepid souls who gathered in the sunshine and shared their bean-y experiences and delish bean-based dishes (from stews to salads to crispy toppings to dips!). It was a beautiful evening meeting new folks and a great way to kick off the launch of our Monthly Potlucks.

If you want to get in on the fun, please join us for the next get together, on Thursday September 8th (the 2nd Thursday!). We’re still thinking about Slow Beans, and now through the lens of CLEAN. We ask that you bring a plant-based (bean centric, perhaps?) dish to share and we’ll take time to discuss how beans can help the planet! From how planting beans helps add nitrogen to the soil and the reasons why they're a beneficial cover crop, to how beans are the basis of a delicious and nourishing plant-based climate-friendly diet.

A note: we encourage new folks to join us at these casual get togethers and since space is limited (only 20 people!) we plan to prioritize spots for those that haven’t been to other gatherings. It’s a great way to dip your toe into the world of Slow Food, meet new people and try new foods. No experience necessary! Just a willingness to bring a seasonal dish to share and an interest in diving deep into a discussion of growing and eating beans.
