I had an exciting adventure in San Francisco this month I wanted to share with you, I am still in the glow of it.
I was honored to speak on behalf of Wholesome Harvest at a national conference on socially responsible business organized by Investors Circle that focuses on socially responsible investing. I spoke on a panel about what "slow money", or patient capital investments, for "Slow Food" oriented food companies would look like.
The keynote speaker was Carlo Petrini, the founder of the Slow Food movement. He spoke in Italian and had a translator. Wow! What an orator! Have any other people out there heard him too? Here was my favorite take-away from his speech: “It is a barbaric society that reduces food to fuel. Food is love, food is peaceful relationships with the earth and each other.”
