Chevallum School Slow Food Exhibition

Slow Food Noosa members Melissa Innes and Erle Levey attended the Chevallum State Primary School’s Slow Food Festival in December 2023 and were highly impressed by the level of understanding of students from Years 4, 5 and 6, as well as the commitment of teachers, to the Slow Food philosophy – good, clean and fair food for all.

This event, open to parents, friends and the wider school community, certainly provides hope for a bright and healthy future.

Inspired originally by Noosa chef Matt Golinski, the Family G Year 2, 3 and 4 students present the festival every three years.

It is a remarkable initiative in which the students show family and the school community the level of understanding and knowledge learned about food.

With marquees, stalls, information sections, galleries and live displays such as worm farms and pond life.

There were tastings including many from Slow Food Noosa Snail of Approval members … Woombye Cheese Company, Vibrant Nourishments, Hello Honey, and The Fermentier just to name a few.
