The Snail of Approval (SoA) is awarded to businesses that incorporate Slow Food movement ideals of Good, Clean & Fair Food For All. Internationally recognized, the SOA award spotlights food businesses that excel in two or more of the following areas: Local sourcing, environmental impact, cultural connections, community involvement, staff support and retention, and slow-minded business values.

From Riverhead to Montauk and to the Orient Point Slow Food East End awards local restaurants, farms, and food producers who meet these standards.
We encourage everyone to nominate a future Snail Awardee. We have awarded chefs and growers but we like to think outside the box too.

Congratulations KK’s The Farm!
We most recently awarded a Snail of Approval to the iconic KKs The Farm!
Ira Haspel, and his late wife KK, founded the farm in 1999. In order to grow the absolute best food, the farm uses biodynamic practices. KK’s the Farm now supplies over 10 restaurants, runs a thriving CSA, and has a farm stand where locals can get their hands on the freshest, nutrient-packed produce. Please join us in congratulating the team at KK’s The Farm!
