Slow Money SoCal’s mission is to help build a healthy and sustainable local food economy in Southern California built around community needs, following financial models and values prescribed by the national Slow Money organization.  Southern California has more small organic farms than any other region in the nation. Slow Money SoCal is a volunteer non-profit network that connects farmers, entrepreneurs, investors, thought-leaders and everyday folks interested in developing alternatives that help strengthen and diversify our local food system. Slow Money SoCal creates a public forum at their rotating monthly community gatherings throughout Southern California for all interested in growing a local food movement from the ground up, starting with local sustainable food businesses.    

LEARN about keeping money local by investing in real food, places, and people close to home to build healthy enterprises, communities, and ecosystems.

NETWORK with business leaders, entrepreneurs, and 
community organizations at the center 
of the local food and finance movement.
