We’re excited to announce we have partnered with Slow Food New York City to help showcase the sourcing of their Snail of Approval Winning Restaurants. The Snail of Approval is awarded to food or beverage providers that serve the NYC community which contribute to the Quality, Authenticity and Sustainability of our food supply.

For starters, the five Snail of Approval winning eateries that are already on Real Time Farms will have their farm linked menu cross posted to their profile page on SFNYC’s website (for example, see Northern Spy Food Co’s page). As we gain more of the 100+ Snail of Approval winning restaurants, we look forward to building a map of all the restaurants and their sources on the SFNYC website.

We work hard to make it easy for eateries to share the story behind their ingredients with their consumers with maps, photos and detailed information about growing practices. One big piece of this is helping the farm linked menu reach consumers not just on our website, but on the restaurant’s own website and facebook page. Extending this reach now to Slow Food New York City’s website for the eateries we have in common to reach a new audience is very exciting.
