Slow Food and a Sweet Bike Ride

Slow Food Cycle Sunday is this Sunday in Pemberton and I can't wait. Fingerling potatoes, locally crafted beer and spirits, cheese, fresh veg and some sweet bbq - all viewed and experienced from my bicycle.

Talk to the farmers, explore their farms, make friends with some hogs and donkeys and enjoy an amazing afternoon on a car free extravaganza of Pemberton's most productive farmland.

Sound pretty good?

Slow food is the antithesis of fast food. The term originated in Italy with a global, grassroots organization that aimed to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, and be the foil of a modern trend of people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us.

From the tourism pemberton website:

"Slow Food Cycle Sunday was founded in 2005. It was started by Anna Helmer and Lisa Richardson, two Pemberton residents concerned that irreplaceable farmland is under constant development pressures. The bike ride is a way to inform people of the importance of farmland, to give townspeople an opportunity to spend the day in the country and to give farmers and consumers a chance to connect."

Stoked to be back on the ride after a 3 year hiatus! Photo by @mactavt #smokypembyslowfood2018
