6800, Pioneer Avenue Agassiz & 44150 Luckakuck Way, Chilliwack
Vancouver, British Columbia

Slow Food Vancouver's Summer Cycle Tours are taking place in Agassiz and Chilliwack, BC on August 22 and 23, respectively.

The leisurely, self-guided Slow Food Cycle Tours provide an educational and culinary experience exploring many farms, some that are open to the public on these days only. These tours give a rare chance to meet the farmers, sample their wares, and learn about agriculture in the Fraser Valley.
This year we are introducing a new ride in Chilliwack, showcasing new farms and introducing slow food lunch options. Come for the day or make it a fun-filled slow weekend!

The routes are about 25-kilometers long and follow flat, quiet country roads that are perfect for the whole family.

Tour times are 9am - 4pm on both days and cost is $10/tour or $15/both days. Net proceeds from the cycle tours will be used to sponsor two youth farmers to attend Terra Madre 2010. Slow Food lunch options are also available for an additional $10.

Global issues such as climate change make supporting our local food producers essential.
