On May 10 at 18:00, we will be hosting a gelato aperitivo at Gelateria Fatamorgana in Monti. The cost to attend is €5 and 100% of the proceeds will go to support Yogurt Barikamà, a group founded by young men who participated in the Rosarno revolt and relocated to Rome. Together, they produce organic raw milk yogurt at the CSOA ex-Snia on Via Prenestina.

Barikamà’s production facilites lack adequate refrigeration and our goal is to raise €1300 to fund a 700L commercial refrigerator so this small startup can have proper refrigeration and therefore produce and store larger quantities of their yogurt, which is sold at Terra Terra markets and San Paolo’s La Città dell’Utopia market, as well as through several G.A.S. (solidarity-based purchasing groups).

Purchase your tickets at Eventbrite here, or pay directly on May 10. We are also accepting additional donations via PayPal (use katie@katieparla.com to contribute). Contact us for more details.
