| How can I join Slow Food and the North Olympic Convivium? The term
“convivium” derives from the Latin word “convivere” which means “to live
with, hence to feast with” because conviviality is essential to the
objectives of Slow Food. Slow Food currently has 170 conviviums
throughout the U.S., including nine others in Washington.

dedicated to the principles of a sustainable food system, regional food
traditions, the pleasures of the table, and a slower and more harmonious
rhythm of life. It began in 1986 when its founder, Carlo Petrini,
protested the opening of a McDonald’s at the foot of the Spanish Steps
in Rome by offering free pasta to passerbys. It now has over 80,000
members in 100 countries.
