近年來，休閒農業蓬勃發展，各地與各式休閒農場亦逐漸興起美食觀光與慢食之風潮，舉凡使用在地食材、減少食物哩程等作法日漸受國人重視。國內較少針對休閒農場作慢食相關研究，多為休閒農場體驗行銷、滿意度等研究，而慢食概念似乎會影響美食觀光之發展與觀光客之飲食消費行為，故本研究目的有二：(1)為瞭解休閒農場遊客對慢食概念的認知；(2)探討休閒農場遊客飲食消費動機與慢食之關係。本研究採用內容分析法，針對16位休閒農場的遊客進行深度訪談。經由訪談文本分析結果得知，遊客至休閒農場之用餐動機多為享受農場帶來的愉悅氛圍、怡人放鬆的環境、親切的服務態度與農場的獨特性。在慢食認知部份，遊客多數認為慢食是以緩慢步調及放鬆心情享受美食。
