Almost two dozen cyclists made their way around Polk County as part of the second annual Growing Cycle Farm Tour held Saturday, June 23. Twenty-two participants visited five farmers and two wineries, sampling food and tasting wine from eight local farms. These adventurous cyclists gathered at the Mill Spring Agricultural Center and covered more than 47 miles of rolling hills. Proceeds from the ride benefited the ag center’s demonstration kitchen, which will teach people how to prepare local farm fresh produce and create healthy meals. Jimmi Buell of the Polk Cooperative Extension Service organized the event. (photos submitted by Jimmi Buell)
