SlowFoodIndy.com – Last Wednesday I took a couple of new recruits down to the City Market’s farmer’s market and did a little street team work. We handed out a grip of European Design Since 1985 rack cards and were handed a few pieces of literature in return. One such piece was a flier for Slow Food Indy. From what I can tell, Slow is a blog that is chock full of interesting news and resources related to local food production and being green. Slow also turned me on to the Hoosier Gardener blog which I recommend for our readers with green thumbs.
