UPCOMING EVENTS
Slow Food Market
Monforte Dairy 49 Griffith Road
Sundays 10 am to 2 pm, June to October
Slow Food, an international movement that began over 20 years ago in Italy, focuses on food and related products that are good, clean and fair. Perth County is home to many hardworking food producers and artisans; this market, set in a casual yet dynamic atmosphere, will serve as a weekly meeting place where area residents can meet them and purchase their products. From time to time this market will feature value-added presentations including chef and product demos, mini-tastings and seminars.
