Eat Local Week: Urban Farms Bicycle Tour

Many of you already know there’s a huge week long festival in town hosted by Edible Austin known as Eat Local Week. This week of events encourages and educates Austinites on the health, social, economic, and environmental benefits of eating locally grown organic foods and beverages. To kick off Eat Local Week, cyclists were able to tour local urban gardens to see just where their foods are coming from. All event proceeds from Eat Local Week go to benefit Urban Roots, a YouthLaunch program that enducates youth on the benefits of community service and organic farming.
