Although it does not come as far south as Blue Island, anyone interested in biking and/or local food should enjoy this bike tour through local food initiatives on the South Side.
Date: Saturday, March 22, 2009
Start Time: 10:00am
Begin @: Downtown at State and Adams
End @: 4929 S. Campbell Ave. (home of planner Sean O’Connell) for lunch and conversation.
Approx distance: 15-20 miles
Stops will be made at Growing Power, the Pacific Garden Mission, Windy City Harvest, Growing Home, and the Experimental Station.
Information about each initiative and how to get involved will be presented at each location. Taking the tour this early in the season should give everyone plenty of time to experience planting, transplanting, etc.
Planned as part of the collaborative Institute and its involvement in the School of the Art Institute’s Spring 2009 BFA show. Contact Sean at Space.has.seansean@gmail.com with any questions, suggestions, etc.
