We are respecting and practicing social distancing in 2020
We hope to continue with our event when the time is right.
Let’s all take care of each other and work towards our mutual health & happiness.
The Local Wild Food Challenge is…
A Culinary Competition in which you must forage, hunt, gather, farm and trade
for the ingredients of the dish you enter.
Dishes may be hot, cold, liquid, frozen, raw, marinated, smoked, seared, preserve. ANYTHING!
All entries are anonymous to our judging panel. NO PRESSURE.
A global grassroots organization with members in 150 countries who are linking the pleasure of food with a commitment to their community and the environment.
“To defend biodiversity, we must know it, and to know it, we must explore.
We must let curiosity, exploration and the pleasure of discovery guide us.
Local Wild Food Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for discussion and knowledge.
~ Carlo Petrini,
Founder | Slow Food International

Fill Out Registration Form. Eat, Drink & Have Fun!
Tell us the story of your efforts to gather and prepare your dish. From picking edible wild flowers to hunting wild boar. From fermenting feral apples to curing wild fish. These kinds of efforts can be equally valuable in the judges scoring.
Taste is subjective. Sweet, sour, bitter, salty, your flavors can be as simple or complex as you like.
The ingredients you use can be from the wild, a friend or a neighbor. The more wild and locally grown ingredients the better. We encourage people to connect with each other across the community to source as wide a variety of ingredients as possible.
From plates, platters, glasses and mugs, to a slab of wood, a piece of stone, shells, bottles, bowls – anything goes. Get creative and have fun with your entry. You can present your entry any way you like.
Our sincere thanks and gratitude to the organizations and individuals who are supporting us.
LOCAL WILD FOOD CHALLENGE is practicing social distancing in 2020
