Slow Food Snail of Approval Program - Revitalization of the SJC Snails
https://904tix.com/events/slow-food-snail-of-approval-program-11-17-2026
Tuesday, November 17th at 2:00pm, hosted by The Floridian Restaurant
This free event is being hosted by The Floridian in collaboration with Slow Food First Coast, St. Johns County and the St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra & The Beaches Visitors and Convention Bureau. Founded in St. Augustine, the First Coast chapter was established in 2007 with the mission of strengthening the connection between local food, strong farms and healthy communities on Florida’s First Coast. Slow Food First Coast is a proud member of Slow Food USA and joins a global network of chapters in more than 160 countries worldwide who are working to transform the way we produce, consume and enjoy food.
The purpose of this program is to enlighten local businesses on the Snail of Approval process and eligibility. Former snails can attend to revive their status, and potential new partners can learn how to get involved! We will also assess the needs for produce distribution in St. Johns County and identify farmers who can supply depending on the crop and seasons of Northeast Florida.
Our mission is to bring awareness to businesses who honor these values, and to assist those who want to participate in meeting those goals.
