Farm-to-Table: Slow Food in Denver and on Campus
Summer 2017 quarter (First Session)
Taught by
How can sustainable agriculture cultivate taste? In a 3-week intensive with variable credit options we will learn about the basics of sensory education in relation to farming systems that produce flavorful and nutrient dense food. Our six-day, 7-night field study at the Slow Food Nations Conference (Denver CO July 14-16) will include visiting alumni food producers in the Denver area. Student work will involve reading ( Farm to Table, Slow Food Nation, and Taste What You're Missing) , writing, tasting, field work and web-based documentation, and a final presentation. A second variable credit option involves independent work on a late summer farm-to-table fundraising dinner for Evergreen. To register for this variable credit option, please contact the faculty.
