Our ride starts at Cloud Mountain Farm Center & Nursery. We’ll meet with the farm manager to learn about local food systems and innovation happening in our local farming sector. From there, we’ll pedal to Spring Time Farm to see the 15 acres of organic vegetables supplying the Community Co-op and a number of other local food hubs with fresh produce. Then we’ll be on our way to Broad Leaf Farm, where farmer Dusty will show us his fields of strawberries, cabbage, red and gold beets, purple asparagus, sweet and hot peppers, and garlic.

It wouldn’t be a proper ride throughout Everson’s rich agricultural farmland without a visit to one of the many blueberry farms that characterize the region’s fruit production. At Breckenridge Blueberries and Probably Shouldn’t Distillery, we’ll pick blueberries, tour the farm, and enjoy a tasting of their small-batch homemade whiskey. Last farm stop: Qihe Mushrooms. We’ll learn about the art and science of mushroom production from a family who’s travelled across the world to bring their love of mushrooms to Whatcom County.

Our ride will finish where we started, at Cloud Mountain Farm Center, for a farm-to-table meal pulling together the flavors, ingredients, and produce witnessed firsthand throughout our ride.
