Celebrate the fall harvest outdoors!
Summer is over, and the heat is breaking. What better way to celebrate than by getting outside?

Fair Food Farmstand and the Weaver’s Way Co-op are partnering on Sunday, September 19th, for the 5th annual Urban Farm Bike Tour. They’re doing two rides this year — a 14 mile basic ride, and a 28 mile ride “for experienced riders”. Both groups will end at Weaver’s Way for a food and beer party, all for $20. Check out the list of stops and register.
The Buy Fresh, Buy Local folks are also hosting their 3rd annual bike ride (Bike Fresh Bike Local!) That’s the following Sunday, September 26th, and they’re offering 25, 50 or (yikes!) 75 mile options. Their trip costs $35, but includes a tee shirt, on top of the food and beer. Find out more and register for the ride.
Not a biker? Looking for some free harvest fun? This Saturday, September 11th, head down to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Fall Garden Festival at the Navy Yard. There’s food, music, planting demos, tours of the Navy Yard, a recycling center for plant containers, and (if you’re a PHS member or become one that day) free plants! Get more details.
