8:30-3 pm, start & finish at Edgerton Park in New Haven
Founded in 2003, CT Tour Des Farms is a bike ride intended to promote local agriculture. In 2009 the sponsors are CT Folk Fest / Green Expo, East Coast Greenway Alliance, Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism, and CT NOFA. This is the first year the ride has been based entirely in Greater New Haven. There will be two routes - a shorter, flatter route (~25 miles) and a longer, more challenging route (~35 miles). Both will start and end at Edgerton Park in New Haven in time for Green Expo and Folk Fest activities in the afternoon and evening. We are planning to visit (among other sites) Common Ground High School, Lockwood Farm, Mill River Valley CSA, and Boulder Knoll Community Farm. Also the route will showcase the Farmington Canal Trail -- part of the East Coast Greenway -- as it nears completion along the New Haven-to-Cheshire section. There will be musical performances at each site by CT Folk artists, as well as meet-and-greet with the farmers.
