Farm Stops

Bike the Barns is all about connecting with our food, our farms and our farming landscapes. This year’s event will feature three farm stops, which provide an opportunity to meet the farmers and learn more about their operations, their inspirations and their work.

Stay tuned for info about farm stops for the 2023 event. Thank you to the farms who participated in the 2022 Bike the Barns:
