Slow Hours are designed to be easy! No tickets are needed and it’s free to attend. We just request that you RSVP to help our hosts plan properly.
We enjoy finding noteworthy locations to slow down with our community on the East End. We love bringing our members together to support local businesses and organizations where food and wine are also available to purchase. Best of all, Slow Hour is a chance to meet new friends and local experts who share
passions and knowledge with us.
All welcome, bring a friend.
If you are not yet aware of Amber Waves accomplishments and especially if you already are, October 4 is the perfect time to see and learn more about why Slow Food East End chose to award Amber Waves with our internationally recognized and coveted Snail of Approval Award this year.
We’ll be on site at 4pm but you are welcome to come even earlier, shop the farm stand for delicious homemade provisions and wonderful selection of wines. A bountiful array of goods is available at Amber Waves farm stand which is open until 5pm.
Settle in with a view of the sunset for introductions and a discussion about farming on the East End.
At 5pm our guests are welcome to enjoy a private tour of the farm and ask all the questions you want about Amber Wave farming practices and farming on the East End.

Amber Waves is a female-founded and run 30 acre farm and non-profit organization celebrating their 15th season this year! They rely on donations and purchases in their market, kitchen, and from education programs to help support their mission-driven work in the community.
As an educational farm their goal is to provide rich educational opportunities in agriculture to aspiring growers, thoughtful cooks, and eaters of all ages. They do this through their robust children’s education program offering farmer and cooking classes to children on the East End, hosting weekly food and farming skills-based workshops for adults, and offering an 8 month long farming apprenticeship program where they train new and beginning farmers each year.
They are also committed to serving their community through their food security program where they donate freshly harvested produce each week to 7 different local food pantries across the South Fork, reaching almost 800 families. They also offer an open access space for all to enjoy seven days a week.
