Slow Money national gatherings are quickly emerging as a significant new venue for field building, investing and social change. More than 1000 people from 34 states and several foreign countries attended our first two national gatherings, and more than $4.25 million has been invested in 16 of the presenting small food enterprises. Since last year's event at Shelburne Farms, Vermont, 11 local Slow Money chapters have begun investing around the country.
850 folks from 35 states, 3 Canadian provinces and six other countries attended Slow Money's 3rd National Gathering, making this our biggest event yet.

"There was a moment when I looked around the tent at Shelburne Farms to see the wonderful old codgers who have been farming in Vermont for generations, sitting with young environmentalists and food entrepreneurs and New York investment types, all nodding in agreement. Wow. Talk about being the change we seek. It was a profoundly hopeful moment."
