Join Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA) and Saratoga PLAN for a bicycle tour through the scenic farmland that provides a backdrop for the Saratoga National Historic Park

 Tour de Farm is a supported bike ride organized by ASA and Saratoga PLAN to bring people through the farmland that serves as an important scenic backdrop for the Saratoga National Historical Park. The view from the Park is relatively unchanged since the 1777 Battle of Saratoga, a turning point in the American Revolution.

Tour de Farm features two routes, a 15 mile loop and a longer 35 mile route. Both rides begin at Hand Melon Farm, a fruit and produce operation which is in the process of being conserved, and pass by a number of farms that have been protected.

The second stop for both rides will be Sunset View Farm heifer facility.  From there the rides split. The short route follows River Road to return to Hand Farm and the long route crosses the Hudson at Stillwater and stops at the Saratoga Battlefield before looping north through Schuylerville for the return.

The ride will be supported by members of Cambridge Valley Cycling. Olde Saratoga Bike and Boards will provide a complimentary safety check before the start.

There will be delicious local food and refreshments at the finish and participants will receive coupons for purchases at participating farm stands and businesses.

Tour de Farm is made possible by a grant from the Historic Saratoga-Washington on the Hudson Partnership. Supporting partners include The Saratoga National Historical Park, the Open Space Institute, American Farmland Trust and the towns and villages along the route.
