The Annual Farm Cycle event on Sunday, Sept. 15, featured four local farms in Johnson County. There were three different routes to participate in, and tickets sold out on the prior Friday.
Riders gathered at the Bike Library around 9:30 a.m. to have coffee and converse before setting off for the first stop at the Johnson County Historic Poor Farm. The first stop featured a beet and squash hash with tempeh and mushrooms topped with a fried egg and pickled veggies.
“Starting in 2017, the county adopted a tenure plan for the site, so we have really been growing the public amenities that are available,” Ilsa DeWald, Johnson County Food and Farm manager, said of the Historic Poor Farm. “Being a stop on Farm Cycle has allowed us to show that to the community and increase awareness about educational and community volunteering opportunities we have out here.”
