Willowbridge Slow Market - Market
Slowfood Market...are authentic Slow Food markets. As opposed to 'fast food' which has been described as culinary pornography, slowfood is the output of producers who have sourced, grown, raised, harvested, caught, preserved or transformed the food themselves. Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world. To do that, Slow Food brings together pleasure and responsibility, and makes them inseparable.

The Willowbridge Slow Market conveniently brings together a variety of fine foods and wines. You will experience an ancient way of shopping in a modern context. No long cold storage is used to bring foods to market,no chemicals are used in their production, no excessive food miles are wasted and no doubtful production methods are employed. Customers have a chance to taste food before they buy it and bargaining and swapping of recipes is the order of the day. By trading the food grown on the urban edges the Fresh Goods market is aiming to make the food chain more sustainable and environmentally sensitive. All foods are fresh seasonal and locally grown making them simple, nourishing and delicious.
