Back for its 8th year, Tour de Fresh rides again!  Join Growing Hope and Bike Ypsi on Saturday, August 20th, as we tour the Ypsilanti food community!

Tour de Fresh 2016 is a group bike tour that highlights the local food system in the Ypsilanti community. Bikers see and learn about positive projects impacting the city including farmers markets, community gardens, urban micro-farms, local honey projects, home vegetable gardens and more. The tour focuses on how our community is creating sustainable food production opportunities and healthy food access in Ypsilanti. Bike Ypsi has teamed up with Growing Hope to lead the bike ride and community members will host bikers at each garden! 

This event is open to the public with a suggested registration fee on a sliding scale from $5 to $25. Growing Garden Members ride for free! Please visit: http://ghtourdefresh16.eventbrite.com to register for the ride.
