Eating healthy
Slow Money Delaware River is a new local organization that offers a way for local participants who care about eating healthy food from local farms to invest the region’s food system by connecting with and supporting the region’s farmers, small-business and artisan food entrepreneurs, restaurateurs and retail and wholesale purveyors of local and sustainable food.
As explained on its website (www.slowmoney.org), the mission of Slow Money is “to catalyze the flow of capital to local food systems, connecting investors to the places where they live and promoting new principles of fiduciary responsibility that bring money back down to earth.”
