Join the Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA) on Sunday, July 13, 2008 for Tour de Farm, a supported 21.5-mile bike ride or drive it yourself tour through Washington County’s scenic rural landscape that starts and ends at Cambridge Farmers’ Market. Bikers will ride by four protected farms, tour a working dairy and stop at Moses Farmstand and Perry’s Orchard.
