MARQUETTE -- Food should be good, clean, accessible to all, and produced by people who make a fair wage.  That's the motto of those who practice the "Slow Food" idea.  Sunday night they held a special feast to show others what they're all about.
    
This is the second year the chapter has held the feast, and it continues to be a success.
    
Diners came to Seeds and Spores farm in Marquette to take a tour and munch on all fresh and locally grown produce and meats.
    
The Slow Food Chapter of Marquette prides itself on their healthy life and their ability to educate others.

"We want to influence as many people to get behind our cause. One of the national endeavors of Slow Food is to work together to improve the school lunch program so that our kids in schools have nutritious meals," said Slow Food co-leader, Patty Henning.

More than fifty people came out for the dinner.
