Shake the Hand that Feeds You XVI

**If you are no longer able to purchase tickets, please email markanthony@slowfoodcolumbus.org immediately to be placed on a waitlist. Additional seats will be added to this ticketing site should they become available. Ticket sales will remain open until we reach maximum capacity.**

Shake the Hand that Feeds You is the largest fundraiser event that we plan. In particular, it raises funds for our local Slow Food chapter, which we use to support community gardens/farms and food-related events throughout the year.

This year, a portion of the net proceeds raised from this event will be shared with our hosts, the Mid-Ohio Farm on the Hilltop, where we will be gathering alongside other Slow Food members and supporters to recognize all the work that farmers, producers, and cooks are putting in to make good, clean, and fair food available to all.

Return to this page and our website for the most updated information. In the meantime, we are thrilled to share our menu as it unfolds:
