City Market Launches Tour de Farm: Shelburne

Co-op Members are invited to register for an agricultural exploration of Shelburne, all by bicycle—called Tour de Farm.  The ten-mile bike and farm tour is scheduled, rain or shine, for Saturday, July 18. Four groups of ten cyclists will navigate dirt and paved roads, making stops at O Bread, Shelburne Farms, New Village Farm, Shelburne Vineyards, and Shelburne Orchards.  The guided tour will give riders a glimpse of Shelburne’s landscape while creating connections to the food that is grown in the Champlain Valley.

Tour de Farm bike tour will be a full day of activity and biking experience is recommended.  Pre-registration through Tour de Farm coordinator is required by calling Courtney Lang at 802-861-9753 or email at clang@citymarket.coop.  The tour is open to Co-op Members on a first-come, first-serve basis, and space is limited to 40 participants.  All details and requirements will be given upon registration. This tour is entirely free except for lunch at Shelburne Farms.
