Beginning in 2011

Slow Foods Pocono Mountain Chapter 

Beginning in 2011 with locally acclaimed chef Dan Rothman, a long-time proponent of healthful food diets, introduced the movement of "slow foods" to East Stroudsburg schools last spring, he imagined local chefs adopting schools within the district and working directly with students to instill better eating habits with the help of other Slow Food Members a pilot program introduced local farm foods and healthier eating to students in the East Stroudsburg Area School District that year. Slow Foods Pocono Mountain Chapter is more than educating students; it strives to teach slow food practices to the residents of the community.
