Aug 22 | Slow Food Vancouver Cycle Tour – Chilliwack

Slow Food Vancouver is happy to invite you to join us in Agassiz on Saturday, August 21st, and in Chilliwack on Sunday, August 22nd, for two leisurely, self-guided Slow Food Vancouver Cycle Tours.

These tours provide an educational and culinary experience exploring many farms, some that are open to the public on these days only.

Meet the farmers and learn about sustainable farming, your food and how it’s grown.  Net proceeds from the cycle tours support our delegates attending Terra Madre 2010, an event that teaches best farming practices and supports small-scale sustainable farming.  Global issues such as climate change make supporting our local food producers essential.

This is an event that is suitable for families of all ages.

Come for one tour, or spend the night and do both.
