The Conduct of Milan is celebrating the Slow Food Day in the sign of Agriculture familiar theme which is dedicated to 2014 as indicated by the General Assembly of the United Nations.

“Family Farming” is an expression that contains a lot of ideas.

It means young and small local producers whose work is based on the richness of heritage and biodiversity of our agricultural production. It means social and urban gardens, places like the 480 gardens in conduct promoted by Slow Food in Italy. It means being able to have the right to choose, for example, to look for the farmers near us to buy their products in farmers markets.

For this reason the Conduct of Milan has decided to celebrate this day during the Slow Food Earth Market on May 17 at the Steam Factory, with a distribution of symbolic planting of vegetable (in collaboration with Fenix ​​and Floriculture Cascina Santa Brera) that everyone will be able to example, to grow in their own “garden in pots.” Not only great little “seeds” of family farming and awareness of food and its origin, will be even from the ‘shop’ of sourdough bakeries by Grazioli and Longoni and the collective distribution of seeds of green coffee Presidium Ethiopian Harenna that everyone can toast at home. At the booth of The Art Café will be able to discover the secrets of the coffee ceremony that families practice in Ethiopia.

And since the best soil for growing the “seeds” of family are children, they will be dedicated at the Slow Food stand, the following laboratories of taste:

11 hours‘ Coloring with vegetables “, taste workshop where children learn the value of re-use of waste learning to use the skins of vegetables to create natural colors and create beautiful designs. With Gabriella Baiguera of Ancient Dyes.

12 o’clock “Form the cheese” taste lab for and with children, where the future “greedy / wise” learn to make cheese “primosale” with Elisa Pozzi Azienda Agricola zipo.

The festival will be accompanied by live music by the trio Les Nuages​​.
