Supporting Slow Food, Berry to Jervis Bay community assists to create and sustain projects that defend food and agricultural diversity, support local producers and ensure better quality food for all.
Slow Food Berry to JB is entirely organised and run by volunteers, while drawing talent, expertise, and ambition from our producers, members and friends in our region.
Our Executive Committee meet in Berry on the 1st Monday of every month from 10 am. 
Social and Educational events are held regularly from Kangaroo Valley and Berry right down to Jervis Bay. 
Our ethos is that food should no longer be considered as just a commodity and a source of profit, but a way of respecting sustainable producers,  the environment, and asserting the pleasure of taste!
