2018 Farm to Fork Fondo Menus Revealed
Farm to Fork are excited to reveal the delicious menus for all of the 2018 Farm to Fork Fondo Post-Ride Barbecues and Meet the Farmers Dinners
They've been working hard ironing out all the details with local farm-to-table caterers in all our event regions to create unique weekends filled with culinary delights made from ingredients sourced from the beautiful farms along your route. Every event has unique menus tailored to that region's agriculture, and they're all feasts worthy of kings and hoards of hungry foodie cyclists! All events have vegetarian options.
In addition, every event features a free Finisher Brew for all finishers of age. They highlight their favorite local breweries or cideries in each region with this reward for the finish of a challenging ride.
