--Investing as if Food, Farms, and Fertility Mattered--

An Educational Workshop Featuring Woody Tasch of Slow Money and a panel of Santa Cruz County Food Producers

Could there ever be an alternative stock exchange dedicated to slow, small, and local? Could a million American families get their food from CSAs? What if you had to invest 50 percent of your assets within 50 miles of where you live?


Such questions—at the heart of slow money—represent the first steps on our path to a new economy. Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money presents an essential new strategy for investing in local food systems and introduces a group of fiduciary activists who are exploring what should come after industrial finance and industrial agriculture. Leading the charge is Woody Tasch—whose decades of work as a venture capitalist, foundation treasurer, and entrepreneur now shed new light on a truer, more beautiful, more prudent kind of fiduciary responsibility.

Our purpose is to create a recognized food culture for the area of Santa Cruz through a self-sufficient job system and return on local economy infrastructure. We believe that Santa Cruz County would benefit in a multitude of ways: sustainable job growth, increased availability of high quality local food, local economic growth through increased tourism, increased income to ancillary businesses and a regional identity that adds value to products grown and produced in Santa Cruz County, Arizona.
